Poor thing ... (fill in the blank)Actually it was a staged picture for a project with my hair all messed up, a goofy expression and my eyes crossed. Well -- my one eye crossed. We learned a long time ago I can only cross one eye. But I disgress ...
So I finally started my blog this week and I admit it. I know just enough about computers to be dangerous.
I'm SO thankful for my brother who is a computer guru. He is an I.T. guy in his occupation. Did I say that right? Is that what they're still called? (See what I mean?) I just refer to him as "super intelligent computer dude"
Sometimes there's a dry spell and I leave him alone for weeks on end. Not this week!
He always takes the time to guide me through the process, offer suggestions or sometimes fix whatever mess I have made. David Gaddy rocks!
I'm learning the world of Google+ and having a home page and getting to set up everyone I want to follow. Apparently I clicked that I want to follow EVERYONE on FaceBook and YouTube. Do you realize how many links that is? Do you realize the extent of the content that covers?
Granted, my love of animals is not to be denied. There must be 500 people on my page posting pictures of cute animals ad nauseum. I think I can do with a few less -- as much I adore cute animals.
There's also a LOT of different subjects included. I've entered a whole new world!
As I was reading and looking around I came across this odd picture of a young woman with her behind up in the air and the caption said something about "please don't leave me alone" -- not the exact words but the best I can remember. I found myself thinking about that poor thing not wanting to be left alone so I clicked to go to her page to hear what she might say or sing about loneliness.
She did not sing. She did not speak.
She let her body do the talking.
I slammed my laptop and called David.
I think he was clear on how upset I was as I spoke rapidly and loudly: HOW DO I SHUT THIS DOWN? ALL OF IT? NOW! ALL OF IT, RIGHT AWAY!
Let me be clear. I am not a prude. I wish I could look sexy like some women. I have no problem with putting on lingerie for the eyes of my lover. (He's out there somewhere, I just know it).
But I don't want to see what everyone else is wearing (or not) and what they're doing with it. That is their business and their choice. If they so choose to share it for all the world to see it is also my choice to not be exposed to it.
Not judging - just say that in my belief system it is wrong.
The good thing in this little adventure is that is confirmed the person I want to be -- the witness I want to provide. I have this hanging on my fridge:
Oh Lord, help me live my life in such a way that every morning my feet hit the floor the Devil says, "Oh crap, she's up!"
(author unknown)
I can only report for myself and my own actions. They're not so good all the time. But that is what continues to amaze me about the amazing, unconditional, amazingly abundance of God's grace.:
We are never alone
We can be anything we set our minds to.
God WILL guide us in life if we are willing to listen, and sometimes learn.
In the meantime, I better get busy attaining a much better understanding of the sites I visit and the buttons I push! I don't want to go down that road again!
Enjoying the Journey,
Derbra
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.
