Ode to Brain

Dear brain of mine,
I'd really like you to stop thinking so much...
especially about something..someone.. who you never wanted to think about in the first place.
Oh, and worrying about the VBS game night in 13 hours is ridiculous. Sure, I still need to get paint and glitter and all that jazz.. but goodness... why the constant firing of thoughts and ideas? Why do you get this way when there is a big event coming up? It would be nice to have rest before 500 kids flood our event and 400 of them want their faces painted...
And why go back to thinking about him? Unfortunately, the more I think about not thinking about him, the more I think about him...
I'm sure glad God never sleeps... He is my company this morning, reading this silly little blog along with me. God, you are always in my brain too.. but you never worry me. I like that a lot about you. :)

Dear brain, can you go back to bed yet? Its 5:30 now and I can see and hear the day beginning outside my small window. At these moments I wish I lived alone so I could go take a walk. If I did that now.. my parents would hear me and wonder if I'd gone mad.

I'm hungry.

But I know if I ate something so early.. mr. brain may like it, but stomach would hate me for the rest of the morning.

VBS went well last night. I am sad to see our little group disperse after three amazing nights.
I had a chance to talk to my 11-year-old cousin (who I brought with me) about Jesus and ask her if she wanted a bible... The next day she showed me a bible-carrying tote-thing, she had made specifically for it. Needless to say she loved it and for most of the ride to Quincy she kept looking up bible verses.

Hopefully, I planted a seed of faith.
I'm a big fan of it myself.

So.. Brain.. are you ready for me to settle down now? Stop filling my head with false hopes and silly thoughts and worries...please? You make my stomach hurt, and I don't want you organs to start fighting... that wouldn't feel good at all.

Goodnight, again.

love, emily
