Emotions have no common sense

The past few weeks have been filled with many trials and difficulties. It is a very personal matter that I don’t want to really discuss further and continue to dwell on. I know that I don’t have control over everything. I can’t make everyone happy. I can’t control other people’s feelings. What they do is between them and God. But I failed yet again. Because I reacted irrationally. However, it was a mistake that made me realize how helpless I really am without God’s wisdom. I had allowed my emotions to dictate my own decisions again. My emotions tempted me to do things that I desire not to do.

I did what I felt.

Why did God have to design women to be more emotional than men? It has always been a constant battle for me between what I feel and what I know is right and rational.

Some things that I was taught from my pastor-teacher:

Emotional stress causes people to act on impulse.

The emotion of fear, also a sin, causes flight.

The emotion of disgust causes repulsion.

The emotion of anger causes violence.

Instincts are reflex behavior based on emotion rather than on
thought.

Zoe just got her ears pierced!

Yes, it’s true what the title says. Zoe just got her ears pierced yesterday. My mom, my aunt, and my sister were with us when she got it done. Aww, my poor baby cried so loud! We even got it on video, but I don’t want to upload it up on the Internet for the whole world to see. I don’t want Zoe to hate me when she gets older.

The only method of soothing that stopped her from wailing was breastfeeding! I am telling you, I am so grateful that God designed woman’s breasts to not just nourish your child, but to also soothe them. After nursing her for a couple minutes, she was back to her old cheerful self. She was even smiling!

Check it out!

Still Worried…

Giselle from Enchanted

I am still worried about how my hair will look on my wedding day. I have always pictured it to look like Giselle’s hair from the movie Enchanted. But after the hair trial, I just realized that I am really unhappy about it. I don’t know what how I should go about this. I bought that hair piece just for this wedding. I was talking about this with Josh today and he just told me to not to worry and just use the hair piece since I paid $50 for it. I will be wearing my contacts for the wedding. I think I just need to get used to it? I still have to e-mail the picture from the hair trial to my maid of honor just to get another opinion.

I am thinking of maybe just leaving my hair down and just leaving it straight like it normally is?

Also, we are going to be taking our pictures before the wedding so I am also concerned if my hair piece could stay for that long. I really should be discussing my concerns with my hairdresser, but I just need to organize my thoughts and don’t want to suddenly call/e-mail her when I am in this state. I don’t want to appear like a bridezilla, so I’m just going to relax for a while and work on something else.

Thank God I have this blog to post my concerns and just vent away whenever I want to.

Big Wedding Progess and My 26th Birthday

We have accomplished a lot recently concerning wedding related issues. And I decided that I will post my progress on today’s entry. I am so pleased with what we have done so far. I am just now waiting for my dress to come in so I can have my first fitting. I’m expecting it come in next week, I hope! Also I believe the bridesmaids dresses are done and my cousin should be mailing it to me as soon as I send her the final payment.

We are learning a lot about each other from doing our pre-marital counselling with Pastor Allan. hehe, it still feels weird addressing him in that way, but I really think I should. He is marrying us after all. It’s just weird to me since we have been friends even before he was pastor.

Now onto wedding stuff!

Sims 2: Vanity High Series - Episode 16 Part 1

Here is my Sims 2 series called Vanity High. It’s a cheesy little series about high school teens, but I love it. It’s a project that I work closely with Josh. I am having a lot of fun doing this and because of this, I had opportunity to meet other people and became friends with them. This is one of the reasons why I love the Internet. You get to meet amazing people who share the same interests that you do.

I am not going to go on about this, but you can check out my website, Charis Productions if you wish to learn more. I gotta get ready for pre-marital counselling. hehe. See you soon!

Scrapbook Page - Zoe and Mommy

Here is a new scrapbook page that I did. I love downloading free kits! Not much to blog about, but I just wanted to scrapbook a little bit. More to come later…

Finally a new post and Wedding Update #2

I can’t believe it’s September already. We have 2 more months before the wedding. It’s going by so fast. Thankfully, most of the invitations have already been sent out. Just waiting for people to RSVP. I wish I had more time blog, but because life has been so hectic, it is impossible to keep updating this site on a regular basis. I have also been getting a lot of spams lately, so I apologize for taking a while to approve legitimate comments. I need to look for a new anti-spam plugin. I really don’t understand why I keep getting 20+ spams in a day. I don’t think I get that much traffic to this page anyways.

I went on a shopping spree yesterday for Zoe. She enjoys looking at picture books, so I bought her 4 new books and 2 new DVDs. I hope that they are worth it. They were not on sale, but I just wanted to spoil her. She is also teething so my dad bought her a new teething ring.
