Radvent Day 25: Believing

Have I ever had an experience that inspired belief? Yes. That would go back to God. Aside from having a couple of my prayers answered, one day I expected to die. And somehow I didn't. God saved my life and I wasn't sure why. Other people seem to know why, or is it that I don't want to admit it to myself?

Some of my beliefs:

I believe the world is round.

I believe everything is circular, that universe exists in harmony.

I believe in God.

I believe in using my powers for good and not evil.

I believe in justice. (still trying to define that)

I believe in "The American Dream". If you can think about it, you can do it.

Radvent Day 24: Trusting

Today's topic is Trusting. So what can I always trust in?

1) MJ - She's such a good person to talk to. No matter what I'm going through, she's always ready to listen to me without judging me. And not just me either, she listens to a lot of people. I mean, sure, sometimes she's busy, but I can always email her and she'll respond with encouraging words.

2) God - These are in no particular order. I trust God more than I trust MJ. Not that MJ is liver, but they say God is everywhere and it's true. I mean MJ can't come in the bathroom with me, and I've known God longer than I've known her. Or I should say God's known me longer. God's the one who brings MJ or if it's not MJ, it'll be another friend who will pop up in chat all of a sudden when I'm depressed, and that person will cheer me up without knowing it. Or it'll be something someone posts. Or maybe somebody is going through something worse and I think "Wow, least I'm not that guy" then I'll feel better. God has also been there for me each and every time, even when I think he won't be there, he is. He answers my prayers and answers the prayers that I don't even pray. He's one of those people you say "screw you" to, and then ends up saving your life or something like that and you feel bad for saying screw you, but then it's alright. So no matter what happens, I trust God will be there.

3)the NaNo people - No matter what stage you are in life, you'll find someone that's going through the same thing or has gone through the same thing you're going through. Whether it's about to blow your brains, or blowing your brains out but the gun jams, or tossing the gun out the window and moving on with your life, someone has been there. And sometimes you don't even need to talk about that stuff and just watch some of the crazy stuff they do, and you think "Wow, these guys are having fun; wow, these guys are cool, I'm happy." In terms of trusting, you can trust those guys to be real. They don't pretend to like you, they really do. And sure, maybe there are a few that might not click with you, but they still like you.

4) my family - I trust that they'll be there. Even though they are a bunch of oddballs, they'll be there.

5) Myself - I trust that I'll be there too. Times when things have looked tough and I didn't think I'd get out of it, I end up doing so. So I trust that I'll always pull myself out of things.

Radvent Day 23: Celebrating

Well, not sure what to say about this one. I was sick on Christmas Day, but I made the best of it, which is what this radvent is about I guess. I don't remember who gave me what for Christmas, but I opened a door to let guests in and ate dinner and breakfast and slept nearly the whole day. Managed to keep all the food down, then was happy when I returned home. I didn't get to call MJ, but I did text her quite a bit, so I guess that was sufficient enough. At least I made some sort of contact with her.

Radvent Day 22: Laughing

Think of someone who made you laugh when you really needed it and write a letter thanking them.

Dear Robin Williams,

Thank you for making me laugh a couple of days ago when I needed it. I could not stop laughing at your antics on that interview show and almost hurt myself laughing. You are a genius and I don't know how you do it. So thank you.

Radvent Day 21: Surprising

Give your next door neighbour a surprise today.

Done. I left a free book in the lobby for somebody to pick up.

I wasn't sure if I could do this one because I really don't talk to my neighbors, but it's done.

Radvent Day 20: Charming

I hate to use this fancy icon. Princess Lasertron who is the original person behind the Radvent prompts didn't have the blue prompt like she normally does. The person I've been getting these prompts from is now more behind than I am! So yes, I'll have to drop Princess Lasertron a line to thank her for these and to get her to do Day 21 and 22 because I'm hanging on every prompt here.

So for the charming one I just made it a point to be extra nice to customers. I already am, but I remembered that even though some of them were grumpy that I still made it a point to try and make them happy, and it worked pretty much. So yeah, now to find Radvent Day 21.

Radvent Day 19: Sharing

Share your favorite Radvent prompt with a friend and talk about your responses together.

I'm sort of cheating for this one. MJ hasn't gotten back to me because she's been really busy with Christmas preparations, but I do know what her reply would be. I emailed her my response to Radvent Prompt 5 which is the Rocking Out one I think. Her reply would be "Awesome."
