More time to do my hair and make-up??

I got home form work yesterday and just needed a good crying session (girls will understand :-) ). So I took a bath and started to watch Kingdom of Heaven, thinking the intensity of it all will bring me to tears. It didn’t. I fell asleep and eventually went to bed, not knowing the drama that awaited me the next morning!

So I’m currently staying with my friend Bri who’s here for a few more weeks. It’s just the two of us girls so I never lock my bathroom door. This morning I went into the bathroom at about 7, and realised I had forgotten something. When I tried to open the door, it was locked!! I turned the key and it would not open. I tried again, and decided to take my shower, get ready, and then try again. I did. I tried the key for a while, then called Bri and asked her to try from the outside. She did and still it wouldn’t unlock. By this time I was getting terribly frustrated and extremely restless. I was about to start complaining to God( because He could have unlocked it if He wanted, and He didn’t), and He gently reminded me that my situation was not even close to some of the horrible things countless people go through ,and that I needed to have a good attitude about it, so I did. I started to do my hair (thanks for the gel, Kristen), and then I did my make-up. Then I sat on the toilet seat and waited. The security guard came in and tried to help, but also failed. I asked Bri to bring me the book, Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers that I have been reading for a while now. I read more pages than I have in one sitting and really got into it. Eventually, after some time, Roger and Thabo came and managed to do something and get me out. I was so happy to get out of that bathroom!!

More drama: Some of you are aware of the drama I have had with my nose ring. Well, last night I was trying to put it back in after having not had it in all day and it wouldn’t go in. This was not the first time this had happened. I poked away at my poor nose and seriously now have like 3 holes on the left side of my nose. I eventually found the real hole, thank God, and it wasn’t even closed!!!

I still haven’t had my needed “crying session". Maybe tonight. :-)_
