On the 19th of September it will be exactly 7 years of Christianity. Some people call the spiritual birthdays...y'kno born again & all that stuff. I kinda like the idea as corny as it is.
But 7 is quite a scary number....silly I know. But in some philosophies 7 represents completion...er, next.....it also represents perfection....so not me....
anyway..this is just another one of my ramblings....it's been seve years...I haven't raised anyone from the dead, or won souls, or performed any miracles......well none of the dramatic sort. Small miracles like just making it through the day are a biggy for me....
But, anyway, I'm still kinda chuffed I've lasted this long. I have a track record of not really finishing. This is one thing I want to carry through to the end.
 
ok, for those of you that AREN'T into the spiritual stuff....if you're still here...if you even came in.........(?????????) on the 20th of September will be exactly 3 months at SoulCast....um...nothing biggy there but I felt it deserved a mention.
 
Somewhere around that time my precious (the one I carried in my womb, not the one carried in pocketses......) will be 12.....last year of the pre-teens, here we come.....
 
Thennnnnnnn...early next year...I'll be 40!!!!! I gotta be honest...it's kinda scary.......gulp gulp......the thing is, it's taken me this long to realise I'm not 20-something & now suddenly I'm 40. oooh I so want to do something dramatic like clutch my bosom & bite my fist and wail........ Did anyone else out there feel this way when you reached this milestone.
I mean what's up with that...the next day I'm still going to be the same person.....oh oh wail waaaail........
 
ok 'fess up - how do YOU feel about reaching 40?????
And what things should I quickly be cramming in this year...so that I can say at least I did it before 40.
Bungee jumping excluded......I prize the remaining brain cells I have left...I'm afraid the jarring might be too much for me.......
And no sex please, we're British (actually half British, half Afrikaans)
sooooo.....keep it tidy...and bombs away...let me know what you think will make me feel fulfilled, having accomplished before 40.....
oh also...keep it simple...not a ... 'one flew over...jadestar's head', ok?

    i haven't the foggiest idea what will make you feel as though you've accomplished things. you've already got a child.

    seven years as a christian? perhaps you should mark the event by writing a summary of your beliefs about scripture?

  • jadestar said on Aug 15, 2007....
    um, no thanx, I think I'll pass...I have a short attention span.....just accomplishing the discipline of READING the scripture is huge enough for me...
     
    But, you're right - my daughter is one huge accomplishment - thanx.
     
    (of course, there is still the nagging fixation with cellulite thighs & a life apparently doomed to spinsterhood that just won't shut up right now.............ahem, moving on....)
     
    thanx for stopping in.
  • silverwhisper said on Aug 15, 2007....
    surely you've got a take on scripture when you read it, no?

    ed
  • jadestar said on Aug 15, 2007....
    welll, I was kind of hoping that my........ummm...my responses etc would represent my take on scripture...does that make sense?
    but maaaaaaaaaaybe on the 19th of September, I'll write something. I'm not sure that I could eloquently portray my 'take' but I'll CONSIDER the venture............

    TAKE 1: (I feel like a director)
     
    Judge not lest you be judged - I try to keep that imminent in my mind at all times
     
    That was just an unnecessary by the by.......and as this is a low budget movie, you'll have to wait until 19th September till take 2 (I think - who knows, you may have planted a seed - I may be inspired befor then....?)
  • silverwhisper said on Aug 15, 2007....
    fair point about your responses, jadestar. :>

    jade- The question to me is how did I feel about reaching forty. You know what? I just laughed about it and took their jokes in stride. If you want to review your life, fine, but what matters is what you do tomorrow, not what you did yesterday.

    Milestones come and go, usually without much fanfare, tomorrows are always there.
  • jadestar said on Aug 16, 2007....
    I get you, beyond - I think it's just that for some reason it's that tomorrow - the milestones (40 & 7yrs) that I'm nervous about........I know it's just because I feel this 'thing' over me that I should've have accomplished a few things by then..........
     
    but as you say...there's always chance for new beginnings.
    Perhaps I'm measuring myself with the wrong yard stick....
     
    thanx for stopping by

    jade the way you write cracks me up :-) xxx

    40... 7.... 12....

    well this may make you feel better???

    your milestones add up to 59.....  which is 14 (5&9) which is 5 (1&4)
    and 5 aswell as being my favourite number in the whole wide world!!!!!! is a lucky number!!!!!!

    crap i forgot the 3 months at soulcast milestone....... hmmmm  well we can just add it to the 5 and that makes 8 and 8 is a pretty cool number too !!!!!

    and between the ages of 5 and 8 it is perfectly acceptable to throw tantrums so you go ahead and stamp your feet at being almost 40 and enjoy the moment!!!!! lol :-)
    (tantrums always make me feel better !!!  :-)


    there!!!  .... if nothing else you forgot you were almost 40 for a minute right???  :-)

    Destiny xx
