nothing left to say
i'll raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away
and i'll praise you in this storm and i will lift my hands
for You are who You are, no matter where i am
and every tear I've cried, You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn, i will praise You in this storm
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
-Psalm 73:26
please give us strength

kids in a candy store

picture this: a boy and a girl, eyes wide and round... gaping at the huge amounts and variety of lollies. mesmerised by the assortment of rainbow coloured chewy gummy sugar coated lollies. totally entertained with the full intention of taking advantage of the free samples available. their exclamations and giggles do not go unnoticed by the surrounding customers.
now... back up a little... minor adjustment: when i say a boy and a girl... i don't mean of primary school age... rather... if i really stop to consider it... i should be saying two fully grown adults, a male and a female. yep. definitely not kids. and yes...i would be referring to my brother and i. and the result of this whole...(for want of a better word) incident has inevitably raised this one question in my mind: is it possible to get high on sugar purely by inhaling it?
its been years and years since my brother and i entered a candy store... it has also been way too long since we had the sweets of our childhood. blue sharks, cola bears... all the goodness of sugary-guaranteed-to-rot-your-teeth stuff... yummy... (which for the record we purchased)
i have also made an immensely fascinating discovery about my brother: he gets insanely insistent and bossy when it comes to gummy lollies.... other candy doesn't melt his self control (or dignity) as rapidly as gummy lollies. nope. if i want to bribe.. whoops i meant persuade him to do something... gummy lollies are the way to go. (how could i not have noticed earlier? he has hid his weakness well... hahaha) whats wrong with you? the spades not even full! no. when i say full... i mean full. what.. did you fail maths or something? that's definitely half empty and no where near full. geez... you hold the bag! let me do it! hahahah yes... he actually did say stuff like that... (though of course at times i exaggerate... call it creative license... i'll leave it to your discernment to work out exact words from fiction haha) whilst i was rendered speechless due to the mass hysterics i was momentarily suffering.
gosh i love those moments... when you completely don't act your age... and honestly don't care. =D
great times... i'm having fun.
