Take Up Your Mat

I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and spent a gift card that I got a while back. I got some cool stuff and now feel rather spoilt! I mean, how often do I have money to spend on myself? Um, woa. Yeah, exciting.
I got a yellow scarf, two clearanced headbands (one black and one white), birthday presents, AND two things of eyeshadow. Teal and forest green. Sounds crazy? Well yeah, I live on the edge. ;) Anyways, I'll have to take some pictures and post them.
Today, I'm going out to dinner with my family. Tomorrow is my grandma's birthday! Happy Birthday, Grandma! Yay.
So today, I was thinking about Jesus. Yeah, as if I don't do that often. ;D Anyways, I was pondering about when he healed the crippled guy. I was thinking it's interesting how he just says, "Take up your mat and walk." No prayin' in tongues or anything. Just six words. I like it. I like how he doesn't make this big ceremony of it. He just says, "Take up your mat. And walk.".
This is one of the things I like about Jesus. He just does stuff. He doesn't go making a huge deal out of everything, He just does it. Quite frankly, if I had been that guy, and Jesus had layed hands on me and started yelling and casting out demons, I would've been terrified. But instead Jesus is just like, "You want to be healed? Okay then, just take up your mat and start walking.".
Yes, I kind of like this wisely impulsive side of Jesus. It's cool and kind of exciting. Jesus is so awesome. I love Him.
Wellllll... that's it for now, I suppose. I'll write back soon, I promise. Okay, I don't promise; I'm too afraid of breaking it, lol. Anyways, love you guys and hope you have a great day!
