Whatever You're Doing

Here's the line that caught my attention, "Whatever you're doing inside of me, it feels like chaos..." YES. Yes it does! That is the perfect description for what it feels like when God starts stirring things up in order to clean us up! It feels like chaos, like there is no order or rhyme or reason to it all. And it is hard and even painful to surrender what we can't understand. It's hard to surrender it all to what we can't see or even feel. But what God is doing is bigger than us, what he is doing goes far beyond us. What he's doing will impact future generations. Think you aren't that "important"? Think again. God uses each one of us to advance his Kingdom in ways that we may never see or know this side of heaven. But he can only do that if he is allowed, by us, to stir us up, create some chaos and bring it all to a place of eternal value.

So God whatever you're doing inside of me, well I know it has to be something heavenly.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
