i got a case of the miffles

miff'les n. 1. a symptom of being miffed. 2. a symptom of being irritable or having been irritated.

a few examples:
  1. people letting you know their opinion of something that you didn't ask for and is none of their business anyway. for example, did i need to hear a complete stranger in mcdonalds tell me she thought i'd be prettier without dreads? aaaarrrrggghhhh!
  2. being stared at... and THEY know YOU know they are staring... and they keep staring anyways. ....are you trying to say something to me?
  3. being blamed for someone else letting YOU down, go figure that one out.
  4. seeing caretakers for someone you love being rude and condescending and demeaning and you can't do anything about it, BLEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!......
  5. ....because said caretakers treat you as though you have no rights, because well, you have none, even though that person wants to marry you and spend the rest of their life with you, and, well, a promise ring means nothing, right?
end rant.

God is definitely working on increasing the limit of my patience and longsuffering accounts!

Outcast, Adopted.

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
