Friendship/God/Healing = FGH

The title to this BLOG is not meant to be some deep intertwined meaning that is hard to grasp. More like just something odd/strange off the top of my head I felt like writing. So, don't freak out.

Today was so warm at work, we took the kids outside to try to play soccer and eventually end up on the playground equipment because it was just so insanely nice out.

Then, I went home to study. Well, first I got together all the paperwork for my Internship this summer, and sent it off today. I am good to go in that department (WHOOP WHOOP)! I am so excited to go to Arizona and work at Lost Canyon. God is going to do amazing things this summer, I just know it.

Back to the study part. It was just such a nice day, that I had to take advantage of it. I studied on the screened in porch.Yes, the weather was beautiful. . . the Business Law was not. That's okay though, it's almost over.

Then, around 1:30, my friend George came over and we went through this Bible Study called Growing in Christ (A thirteen-week course for new and growing Christians). It is so awesome, it has the basic premise for what a follower of Christ is, and some foundation laying Scripture to memorize. It is good stuff. As you can see, we also did that study outside. It was just so nice out!!

Then, I went to work of course, and when I came home, my mom had gotten back from the Hospital where she had her second surgery for her foot. Which she broke over a year ago because of a slip at Menards. It did not heal correctly from the first operation, so they had to go in again. My poor mom, she was higher than a kite when I took this picture. I am just glad she is not in pain, and pray that everything heals just the way it needs to this time.

I ended the night with BSF, and it was such a great lesson. It really pounded the fact into me that I must never stop going after people in Christ. It is such an amazing gift, I must share, no I am commanded to share the Love of God with others. Even if they don't want to hear it, I must share, when at all possible. Not force feeding it to people, but making TRUTH known and living it in and through my own life.

the day of sorrows

(EARLY 10:08 posting)
School started back up today and I got let out of my class a bit early. Traffic was INSANE, with the nasty weather and the fact that it is the 2nd day of IPFW's semester, traffic is all bunched up all over the place. It is always like this at the beginning of the semester though. The class I had this morning was Mass Comm-250. The prof seems pretty neat, but it appears as though I will have to really start getting into some news outlet. This is going to be a big change for me because I always put an effort to stay out of the news as much as possible. I wonder how it will change my BLOG. Ya know, if I am impacted by world events...which I could very well be, then I would think it would be on my mind. I dunno, we'll see.

This morning, when I woke up, I woke up to some devestating news for my friend Mike (lives in Arizona). ~CLICK HERE~ to see a picture of Mike. He is at the bottom of that post, and I think it tells a little bit about him. Anyways, I woke up and there was a text message from Mike on my phone this morning. I checked it, and it just briefly said, "So Kait (his girl friend) just broke up with me and moving back to Mich." As soon as my alarm went off, I texted him back and then he called me right away. He probably had not slept a wink, and I could tell how disturbed he was just from his voice. He went sking up in Flagstaff for a little while with a friend, and when he got back home, Kaitylin had all her things packed and told him she was leaving. She had the house cleaned and they talked for a few hours, and she sait it was over. They have been together for 3 years, and Mike was explaining to me that it came out of no where. They had been getting along, and he just had no clue there was anything wrong. We talked for a while, and I was really starting to feel so horrible for him. Mostly I was feeling horrible because of the fact that I could not do anything for him to ease his pain. Nothing but pray. It is a horrible thing that has happened, and I know he is in a lot of pain. Please pray with me for Mike and Kaitlyn. I don't know the whole story, and it doesn't matter. They are both obviously in a lot of pain, and I want the best for my friend.

~PRAYER REQUEST~

I have a very important prayer request. First I will tell you how it came to my attention. I got let out of my evening class early today. It is my Elements of Law class for my minor in OLS (Organizational Leadership & Supervision). The class is going to be really hard, but that is okay. I was driving home and noticed I had a voice mail. I listened to it, and was kind of shocked. It was one of my mom's best friends. She said that she had heard through the grape vine that my dad went home early and took my mom to the Emergency Room...... I was like, "What in the heck?!?!" I quickly called the house. Turns out my mom has been having chest pains, but never told me. Today, she was having trouble getting her breath, and was blacking out. My dad left work and took her to the ER. They did a bunch of tests on her, and will do a super important one on Friday. PLEASE PRAY that she will be okay and that the tests will all come back with good results. Pray that this was just a fluke, and that questions are answered. It shook me up though. BUT, God is in control, and that I believe in more than anything.

Here is a picture of some deer that were enjoying the bird feeder today. They are pretty animals.
