Walk 28

Oh,

why,

hello, friend.

Welcome to,

Here's to you, Walter.

I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself.

My name is Morgan,

And,

I have crazy hair :)

haha...

today

was a hair experiment day.

It was...

interesting to say the least.

See for yourself:

yeah...

like I said,

interesting.

However,

I have managed to do worse.

This curl came out manageable to where I didn't have to straighten it.

Good things on the 28th of January:

If you don't count the constant, frigid wind, today was a pretty gorgeous day!

Uhh hello? What's better than ice cream after lunch?

On the way back from looking at apartments. Oh, I lied. This is on the way to the third and final complex we saw.

•  Waking up... later I guess you could say. It wasn't exactly late, considering it was somewhere between 9 and 10 a.m.
• Printing off some things that I need to print off.
• Walking and walking and walking, and hey! there was some more walking! Savannah and I went to look at the outside of some apartment complexes... and we walked. 
• Going to Walmart with Savannah.
• BEST PART OF THE DAY: DO YOU KNOW THOSE SOFT, THICK SUGAR COOKIES WITH THE ICING AND SPRINKLES AT THE STORE? WELL, WALMART HAD FULL SIZE AND MINI SIZE ONES IN THEIR SAMPLE TRAY. Honest to goodness, the Walmart here has had the best samples the past couple of times.
• Doing some house keeping chores. I hung up some pictures and a poster, did my laundry, cleaned the bathroom, and swiffered the floor. Yes, all of this should probably go on the bad things list, but I liked it. I didn't like the actual work, but I truly love the since of accomplishment I got.
• Watching more Netflix!!!

 

Hey,

you wanna see something cute?

I drew pictures last night!

Okay,

it's more like one picture,

but I took lots of pictures! 

Man, 

this post is filled with pictures.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

like it!

So Walk 28 was another reflection post!

I really like these posts.

They kind of sum up what we've read this past week

by sort of telling us what we may have/should have picked up during our reading.

Look Back.

"But Moses' leadership is consistently marked by 20/20 vision - Exodus 20:20 vision, that is: 'Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.'"

Look up.

"And if you want to know the most important thought on a person's heart, ask that person to express his or her thoughts in just ten words... The Ten Commandments that Moses received on Mount Sinai contain more than ten words. But in them you will find ten thoughts that are near and dear to the heart of God."

Look Ahead.

"It might be easy to conclude that God as described in the pages of the Old Testament is a God of dos and don'ts... But God often goes beyond telling his people what to do and tells them why they should do it: he wants what is best for them."    

Can I be honest with you?

It almost shocked me how 

incredibly detailed the tasks were that God gave to Moses for the Israelites.

For me,

it bordered on too detailed.

For some reason,

I always just went along with the little kid version of

"Oh, God gave Moses the ten commandments and the Israelites had to follow them, 

and then they built the Tabernacle for God!"

I didn't remember 

or realize

the overwhelming amount of detail and rules to it all.

But I kind of like this quote from yesterday's reading:

"If at times you find yourself wishing your God were a little more flexible, yielding more to your own desires and expectations, consider this: if God were small enough for you to control, he would be too small to help you in time of need."

I really liked that.

It reminded me that,

if God went with what I though,

the Tabernacle wouldn't have been as amazing as it was.

It wouldn't have been this grand, intricate

yet movable place 

that God wanted to dwell in.

It would have been designed by a simple mind 

and formed in a simple fashion.

Thanks be to God,

for being bigger and knowing more details 

than I could ever dream of knowing 

or want to know.

He truly is awesome.
