packing

i'm packing.

well, kinda.

i did up my downstairs bathroom tonight..... which is only a half-bath. i didn't pack the towels, and half the stuff in the medicine cabinet i'm not taking, so it's still in the cupboard for dispersal. half the stuff under the sink was empty plastic bags that mom liked to collect for some future but as yet unknown need(!!!!).... i pulled them out, but got worn out before picking them up. so plastic bags are all over the hall, and the sorta packed box is on the floor of the now disastrous half-bath, and the little rubbermaid drawer thingy i got all my hair ties and stuff in that i need to go through yet is in the hall too..... along with the 3 or 4 bags of stuff my aunty brought me of mom's stuff she had at the hospital. .....and some of my own bags of knitting and/or crocheting!!!!!!!

why is it that i can try to (insert specific tidying/ordering/packing activity), and wind up making a bigger mess than i started with?

what am i, a messy two-year-old?

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
