From Sister Applonie's mouth...

Sister Applonie (though she has not yet answered my email about the Lady Gaga concert) said something very interesting today.
She says we cannot take another's burden on ourselves. It wastes our own time and energy as well as the person's we are trying to help. Girls tend to do that sometimes. They try really hard to take other people's problems and make them their own. Maybe it's a way to forget your own problems, but it does happen.
But Sister Applonie says that's a bad idea. It's not our job to take the burdens. It's Christ's. Our job sometimes is to just stand as a witness for another's pain. Of course, we should be respectful and comforting and do all we can to be there for that person... but sometimes our job is just to listen. Just exist. Just be there.
Hm. I think I should use this.

Today is Blessed Because...

I don't have to go to work.
Instead, I have a concert for Women's Chorus, but that's not for a few hours.
I forgot what it felt like to sleep in.

Speaking of Women's Chorus, I think I've figured out what I'm going to tell Sister Appolonie about the Gaga concert. Hopefully she will have the mercy in her heart to excuse me from that concert date.

And even if she doesn't, it may all be for the best. I'm wondering if this isn't God's way of telling me I shouldn't go to the Gaga concert. After all, she is DEFINITELY not the kind of artist who invites the spirit into my life. But I've already invested so much time and money into going to this concert... and Katie has too! So it would be a shame to have all that work and excitement built up for nothing.
And I STILL really really really really really really really wanna go to that concert!! It's the freaking MONSTER BALL!! By March, her new CD will be out and I will be one of the first to enjoy her sing her new music live. I've already bought an outfit, even. Awww man! This is such a dillemma!

Things Going on Today: NO WORK, Devotional Performance
Blessings: NO WORK
Listening to: Chantelle's blow Dryer

Okay so I gotta get this out there because I am so scared I could scream!

I may not be able to go to the Lady Gaga concert on March 19, 2011 because of a freaking WOMEN'S CHORUS CONCERT!!!

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO??????
