Last night was interesting, I stayed at June's, the lady I am taking care of. It was kind of funny, she asked Shannon, one of the other caretakers for potato chips. She said, "Can I have a few potato chips? I haven't had them in so long I forgot what they taste like." Shannon answered with "What're you talkin about? You just had chips at lunch!" I felt kind of bad for her but it was kinda funny at the same time. This morning I fed her breakfast which consisted of 3 fried eggs and two pieces of toast and coffee. While I was there, I started thinking about how much it would suck if I ever became a burden to my family. That's what she is, sad as it is to say. It would suck to have to sit in a wheelchair all day, not able to read any books or only being able to listen to the tv. Honestly, I'd rather die than go through that, but perhaps that's because i'm just selfish, as we all are at times. But it also makes me that much more grateful for everything I have and everything I am capable of doing. Andy Himes and I had an online Bible study through AIM today. It went really well and I liked it alot, mainly because it was just two of us rather than seven or eight people in one big group. We did the study based on 1 Samuel 1. What did I learn from it? Lots. I learned God is faithful and answers prayers, well I guess I kinda already knew that one. I also learned that if we pray with enough faith to believe God hears us, He will answer our prayers and bless us. Also, prayer should not be about I want this, I want that. It should be more like If this, then I will do that. It should be a give and take relationship, not just take, take, take. We need to be willing to give something in return. What else? Oh, we should not cast our problems to the world, we shouldn't complain to other people about them (which I admit I am guilty of doing), it should stay between yourself and God. And if you have prayed with enough faith, chances are, you will feel much better about it because it's been placed in God's hands and He knows exactly what to do with whatever burden you have entrusted Him with. I have no idea if this makes sense to anyone, but it makes sense to me :) Oh! Funny story, kind of, I was at my grandparents' and I did the ice/salt thing to my hand and everyone thought I was crazy, guess they just odn't understand our awesomeness! I was telling my grandpa about my grades and he was like "Well, maybe if you hadn't spent so much time at Church...blah blah blah" It annoyed me because I'm not gonna to my math teacher's house on a Sunday to get help on math hmwk!! It is my fault I failed math but it had nothing to do with Church or BASIC and I wish people would just understand that, ya know? My aunt is in ICU at the hospital and she needs very frequent doses of morphine cuz she's in so much pain. The doctors found two masses on her liver, one benign and they had to biopsy the other one cuz they're not sure if it's malignant or benign and they won't know for sure until Tue/Wed....so please pray for her guys. I miss my mom's cooking. Since it's just me and my older sister at home, it's a fend for yourselves deal. I just had grilled ham and cheese and some potato chips for dinner, yummy. I'm so excited to go camping tomorrow!! It'll be nice to go somewhere completely different for a change, somewhere that isn't home, Oswego or my grandparent's house, don't get me wrong I love going to all three but sometimes, it's nice to have just a complete change in scenery. Geez, I feel like all I do is ramble on and on about nothing, but hey, I'm not forcing anyone to read about my jumbled and random thoughts :)
P.S. Jesus rocks yo!!!!! <3
