you don't always have to hold your head higher than your heart.

It's strange how one minute you can be laughing so hard you almost cry, and the next you are sad and feel lonely. One minute you can be full of thankfulness and praise, the next minute you feel tired and grumpy.


let my mouth be filled with Your praise
and Your glory ALL the day
then my soul which You have redeemed
SHALL sing unto Your name.

Yeah, agreed, Kira. I find myself doing that a lot. But it's kind of because I don't like to explain why I'm grumpy and I don't like to let people know that I'm grumpy, and one other thing, I just don't like to talk to people...

But, it definitely makes me feel fake as well. And very jerk-ish.

It also makes you (generically speaking) think about how God demands praise and thanks in all circumstances, in all areas of life. Which, to us, is really hard. Won't it be lovely when we'll be able to praise and thank and glorify Him in perfection?

Annnd...I'm hungry. Supper soon. Woot!
