a balancing act

Let's talk about the reuniting of Zion and Dori...that's what it seemed like for sure as it had been so long since the two really bonded. Don't worry Lime Slurry was involved and whale talk was the common language used to communicate. Might I add that this dynamic duo practiced many skills here's just a few: burrito making, bike riding, cheesecake eating, ultimate frisbee throwin...and all that in just two days...yes, studying was done, that was probably the low point as it was a Saturday night at the Bucks and tres amigas (includes Roommate for Life) were the sole nerds who do that sort of thing on Sat. night in big city life...well I'll go with two nerds, b/c one was just reading for fun and doesn't have to study b/c she's a big girl and has a job.
What's that? Don't ask me, I was just commenting today on the anticipation I have for when I actually do have a "real" job and what it will be like...seems so long away.
But anyway, that pretty much sums up the weekend oh, I forgot to mention one hairy friend who resided with the ladies this weekend and annoyed them so much with a squeaking toy that after a couple tries the humans finally outsmarted the canine and managed to hide the obnoxious toy, which is still probably stuffed under the couch pillow in case anyone is wondering where a good place to hide is located.
Overall, I must say Dori thoroughly enjoyed the weekend of fun and had great talks of all walks of life with her buddy who truly is a blessing from God. So, the balancing act of life continues and was leaned back in a good direction this weekend. Dori still logs most miles in the school realm, but maybe that's where most of the weight is supposed to fall at this time...that's what breaks are for and weekends to rejuvenate, to have something to look forward to, to countdown towards. Yeah, it's a lot of work, yeah it's not gonna get any easier for a while, but I love it. I love the way I can teach others and share my expanding body of knowledge that will never be complete. I enjoy check-offs and learning skills my hands can feel and know and develop that are there all along, just gotta know what their looking for...amazing. Don't worry readers, all are welcome to be my practice subjects. Zion got her turn this weekend...who's next? The best roommate ever had her turn last weekend...it's payback for her for all the times she made me lie on the couch and examined my vitals.
But for now, this cat is off to explore the world of prayer...it's a good thing. Worth reading about, worth investing time in on a daily basis I do believe. Lot's of people need it, mainly Three in One are the only ones who hear it all and can interpret what the heart says and maybe the mind can not even formulate. It doesn't take much practice, but can always be improved upon, like any relationship takes time and energy and focus, but at times no focus, little purposeful energy...like those times with others when you can just be...
the pure moments of silence with the understood and no words floating around in the air to mess it up...yeah, that's what it's about, moments like that...
...times when only breathing is heard and maybe it's just your own breathing to know you are alive on the outside, but you know you are more than alive on the inside...
...the times you are overflowing like a sponge that can't hold all that's being poured into it and there's nothing you can do but enjoy the rush, and later learn to enjoy the squeeze, knowing you won't break b/c you spent the time soakin' in His presence, it is His love outpouring, it is HIM and only Him that will keep you soft and pliable and form you into the sensitiveness that He wants you to be.
ooohhh...good stuff as Flash would say.
Hey, shout out to Flash while I'm on it; it's been a while, but you are awesome and a huge encouragement and source of wisdom to me as well and I learn and experience this balancing act that is my life at this point, in this season as you so fondly refer to it:)
I just love everybody...thank you Jesus for the blessings of people in my life, I like people.
