Hmmm

Intuition: A blessing or a curse?

Thankful

We should be grateful for what we have, peeps, rather than longing for what we can’t have.

Explanation

Sorry people. My last post was a bit miserable! I just get very caught up in my own thoughts sometimes, and I find that writing them out helps me to make them more coherent. What is it about INFPs that makes us such deep thinkers? My brain whirs away all the time; sometimes it’s invigorating, but sometimes it’s exhausting!

Longing

Why do we always want what we can’t have? And how can we stop this impacting on our ability to be there for our friends who have what we can’t have?

Seeing evidence that my friends have what I long for is like a punch in the stomach every time. But can I express thIs? No. Because how can I put that burden onto the people I love?

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and maker of earth.

And in Jesus Christ his only begotten Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; and on the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, where He sits at God’s mighty right hand. I believe that He’s returning, to judge the quick and the dead and the sons of men.

I believe in the Holy Spirit; one holy Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; I believe in the ressurection; and I believe in a life that never ends.

I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am. I did not make it; no, it is making me. It is the very Truth of God, and not the invention of any man.

I was listening to a Third Day version of this today, and it makes me want to jump up and down in the street and sing it out loud at the top of my voice!!!

Coherent?

What to write about today? I’ve had lots of random thoughts all day. But I’m not sure if they’re worthy of being put into my blog. They haven’t been particularly coherent. My thoughts of other people have been coherent enough, and I hope I was helpful at least to a small extent.

By my own thoughts about me? Hmmm. Well, I’ve had a few butterflies in my tummy, due to applying for my job and really hoping I get it. I’ve been reading other blogs and loving them (see Some Favourite Blogs). Maybe I should start picking a topic at the beginning of the day and working my thoughts around it so that at the end of the day I can hopefully write something meaningful and/or vaguely interesting and/or amusing about said topic.

I went singing again last night and we sang one of my all-time favourite songs ever: Your Love Endures Forever. Not sure if that is the correct title, but I don’t care – it’s my blog! It’s a brilliant song and I love singing it – can’t wait till Sunday night when I can sing it again.

The book I was reading – The Time Traveler’s Wife – got me thinking about Mr Razzler and how much I love him and how being with him has changed me completely (for the better, in case you were wondering!). That’s what I really wanted to write about today, but it seems so deep somehow, that I don’t think I could get the words out. So I’ll leave that for another day.

Bye for now, folks!

Love

Idealism

A Truly Wonderful Read

So I finished my book: The Time Traveler’s Wife. It was outstanding. Probably one of the best books I’ve read in years. It’s so imaginative and complex. It’s a true love story, and a tragedy. I finished it on the train last night and I couldn’t stop myself crying - I made a total fool of myself!

But that’s what makes a good book to me: if it has the ability to make me feel what the characters feel. If I just can’t put it down, and every sentence has me utterly hooked.

The author - Audrey Niffeneger - is such a good writer. Her prose is quite poetic sometimes, it’s like she’s painting a picture with her words. And there’s a dark, dry sense of humour running through it as well; for some reason I can’t explain it reminded me of The Magic Roundabout! It’s totally unlike The Magic Roundabout in every way, except that that’s what it reminded me of. Sorry I can’t be more clear people!

Living Water

Thou Breath from still eternity
Breathe o’er my spirit’s barren land-
The pine tree and the myrtle tree
Shall spring amid the desert sand;
And where Thy living water flows
The waste shall blossom as the rose.

May I in will and deed and word
Obey Thee as a little child;
And keep me in Thy love, my Lord,
For ever holy, undefiled;
Within me teach, and strive, and pray,
Lest I should choose my own wild way.

Thy Spirit, Stream by Thee, the Son,
Is opened to us crystal pure,
Forth flowing from the heavenly throne
To waiting hearts and spirits poor;
Athirst and weary do I sink
Beside Thy waters, there to drink.

My spirit turns to Thee and clings,
All else forsaking, unto Thee;
Forgetting all created things,
Remembering only “God in me”.
Thy living Stream, Thy gracious Rain,
None wait for these, and wait in vain.

Lack of Imagination

I know, I know! I haven’t written anything today so far, and I’m not going to write anything interesting now! This is because I have a streaming cold and it appears to have blocked my ability to think the random thoughts I so love usually. I am just looking forward to getting home and reading my new book: The Time Traveler’s Wife. It’s brilliant. Once I get a bit further into it I’ll give you a more in-depth review.

The Brutally Honest Personality Test

Pollyanna- INFP

0% Extraversion, 0% Intuition, 0% Thinking, 0% Judging

So, you want to make the world a better place? Too bad it’s never gonna happen.

Of all the types, you have to be one of the hardest to find fault in. You have a selfless and caring nature. You’re a good listener and someone who wants to avoid conflict. You genuinely desire to do good.

Of course, these all add up to an incredibly overpowered conscience which makes you feel guilty and responsible when anything goes wrong. Of course, it MUST be your fault EVERYTIME.

Though you’re constantly on a mission to find the truth, you have no use for hard facts and logic, which is a source of great confusion for those of us with brains. Despite this, in a losing argument, you’re not above spouting off inaccurate fact after fact in an effort to protect your precious values.

You’re most probably a perfectionist, which in this case, is a bad thing. Any group work is destined to fail because of your incredibly high standards.

Disregard what I said before. You’re just easy to find fault in as everyone else!

Luckily, you’re generally very hard on yourself, meaning I don’t need to waste my precious time insulting you. Instead, just find all your own faults and insult yourself.

This is soooooo funny! Not your typical personality profile:

INFP: The Idealist

The INFP is a dreamy, imaginitive, idealist, capable of finding the good in anything or anyone, even something as foul as Newark, New Jersey. INFPs are sometimes dangerous to the well-being of society as a whole, as they are prone to adopting subversive and destructive ideologies like “The world should be fair,” “People should treat one another well,” and “You know, ‘Friends’ is a really, really stupid television show.”

These irrational thought patterns may sometimes cause INFPs to run off and join the circus, the Resistance, or the Rebellion, where they tend to do well in any position requiring excellent hand-eye coordination or mastery of the Force.

COMPATIBILITY: INFPs and ISTJs generally exhibit a natural predator/prey relationship, which, though it might appear harsh and cruel from the outside, is all part of the natural cycle of life. In fact, were it not for the predation of the ISTJ, the population of INFPs would soon grow to unsustainable levels, overwhelming the ability of their ecological niche to support them.

Famous idealists include that girl in your sixth-grade homeroom who got the teacher fired for saying that girls aren’t good at math; that guy in the cubicle next to yours who got the manager fired for saying that women don’t make good employees; and Anais Nin.

I’ve Been A-Blogging

I think I may be getting slightly obsessed, as is my way sometimes. My brain wants to think and think and wonder and imagine and daydream and meander. I’ve been thinking about what makes me tick recently. Why I am the way I am. And from that, how I can better relate to other people. So I’ve spent hours and hours reading other people’s blogs. There’s so many different types of people out there! I’ve read the “what I did today” blogs, the themed blogs, eg. cookery, gardening, etc. But the ones I identify most with are the “why” blogs. All the other people out there who are like me! What I “thought” today, instead of what I “did” today. It’s fascinating stuff people! I urge you to get out there and blog!
