| so my life has been pretty peach-cobbler-and-ice-cream lately: very sweet, without much of a disadvantage.
despite all the health related worries, I have arisen victorious!
even the health stuff has been fun. it provides fodder for numerous jokes about steroids, which I'm just now coming off of.
[I will sort of miss the things, I must admit. I have had unrivaled energy for the past month.]
I've been thinking a lot about Christian hedonism. John Piper, by the way, has been previously underestimated by me. he's kind of amazing.
anyways. I wish I had the energy to explain the idea of Christian hedonism, but I find that strength fails me. so a quick summary is thusly:
The more glorified Christ is in us, the more satisfied we are in Him.
hardly earth-shattering, but when one follows the idea through to it's very conclusion it's a constant desire. I think it's so true....I've had people tell me before that they just can't drum up a desire for God.
I'm pretty much decided now that such a thing is impossible: it is impossible to seek God and not find Him.
It isn't as though He plays hide and seek.
But it all starts with me. Which is so fascinating....despite the fact that so many things are far beyond the human understanding, and anything we as humans try to understand about God is inevitably going to fail [how could we truly comprehend His infinity and sovereignty with a human mind?] the one thing he has brought to our level, our ability, is the ability to seek him and carry out His will.
Yeah, I could really go on for hours...maybe I should just go write apologetics cards. :P anyways, I think the concept is extremely fascinating [humbling and gratitude-inspiring come to mind as descriptors as well].
I kind of like xanga again. even if no one reads it, I think I will write occasionally. :nods:
oh, and:
Merry Christmas!

| Xanga...I must apologize to you. You see, facebook is kind of consuming at times. It's just better networking.
But. Facebook does not provide nearly the wonderment of blogging that you do, so I promise not to give you up completely.
This post will consist of statements of the obvious:
It is almost thanksgiving.
cheesecake is the eighth wonder of the world.
exercise makes Bonnie a happy, healthy girl.
colonoscopies are completely unpleasant in every particular, but make one appreciate food.
feeling right in the middle of where you need to be is a feeling unparalleled.
resignation =/= acceptance. [take from that what you will].
cats are special, special creatures. but they're also really sweet, so no dissing, please.
having one's own room after sharing for your entire life is a strange, but interesting experience.
Happy obvious day!
-Bonnie

| blogging feels strange at the moment. but, strange or not, i will try it.
gee. summarizing over a month in a few sentences would be hard...just putting it into words is hard enough.
I've done lots of things, and learned lots of things.
at the moment, i'm pondering one of the most beautiful days of the year outside, wishing i had someone to share it with. [none of my friends live close enough. hmph.]
but, barring that, i am cleaning the house, and will probably be digging out my sewing machine and apologizing to it for my infidelity with the crochet hook and knitting needles. and tonight i shall view one of opera's masterpieces, faust!
[some lovely person gave leah and i orchestra pit seats. worth a lot of money. yippeee.]
but other than that, life is moving at a strange pace. it's fast, but it's slow. lots of school, and busy in that respect, but there isn't much variance.
i'm working on the spice of life at the moment.. :)

| so, it's been a month.
i've been busy. school, CFC, and lots of other things have taken up my time.
mostly, i've sort of lost interest in xanga...i'm finding increasingly that i prefer conversations with individual friends to sharing my thoughts via a blog.
i may pick it back up someday, and i will still use this to comment on other folk's pages, but i just don't feel comfortable with it at the moment. :)

| life is weird.
i am schoolworking like mad.
i am not very confident in my own perceptions.
and yeah.
life is weird.
