If you're looking for something to pray for it would be cool if you could say a word for me. I'm going to the doctors soon to find out whats going on with my leg. I fell in September and it numbed below my knee on impact, then over christmas vacation i was playing football and a 230 lb-er tackled me and his knee drove into my leg right below the numb section. So i've basically lost all feeling my leg below my knee. I've had a horrifying bruise for 2 months now and receive bruises if I even GENTLY touch around the effected area. As I said, I'm trying to get someone to look at it and I'm hoping its nothing too serious. It would be cool if it just ended up being a long lasting bruise and numbing sensation that goes away soon. It's been 5 months since my first injury and im tired of it. I want feeling back!

So uh... I love how im the first person to be bored enough this summer to write something on here... How's summer going? Anyone done anything worth telling me about yet? All I've really done is dealt with stupid people at work and uh... WORK. Anyone gonna like make an effort to come see me anytime soon? I really don't bite. Though I have learned some self defense using carts so watch it. I'm basically a black vest now. :) Anywaysssss it's BJ's, call me 312-4301 and find out when im working. Or just call me to say HEYYYYY. PLEASE. I MISS YOU GUYS!

"Peace in Passing" and "Smile"

Since I wrote the Peace in Passing blog, which was about Norm I must note, I have experienced another loss. My "Nana". She was bipolar so I never knew what to expect when I went to visit her, but no matter her mixed feelings, she always made evident how much she loved me and how much I meant to her. Little things like, You're growing up to be a beautiful young woman, and You're smile reminds me of your gocca. (My great grandmother) She passed away around February, which was 2 months after my grandfather norm. What I'm getting at is that, due to her mental issue, she always talked like she wouldnt make it through the season. It was hard to hear but she never seemed to pass away. It was almost like we didnt believe her. I used to drive up and visit with her every saturday afternoon and one weekend I decided to do something with my grandmother and visit my nana the next day. Well, saturday night we got a call that she was in the hospital, in bad condition. She was right all along. She died very soon after that. But the way that she went was beautiful. I dont want you to think im some kind of death creep by saying that but it was almost as if she waited for my uncle wayne(her son) and aunt carolyn to get there and hold her hand for her to pass away. She died with my aunt and uncle holding her hands and my aunt singing hymns to her. A tear came to her eyes and she said... Goodbye. And she was gone.

Smile... At my new job, we recieve pins from high management to put on our name tags that symbolize certain achievments. There was one that struck me funny. The "smile" pin. This pin is awarded to people who always have a smile on their face and are very welcoming to customers and new employees. As shes telling me this I have a smile on my face and since she doesnt know me very well she probably thought that I was just being a suck up. haha. That's about all I have to say. I just found that pretty funny.

When I heard this song on the radio the other day, It stuck with me. It stuck with me so much that I went to the extent of looking it up on Youtube. :) I love the message that this song sends. Sometimes relationships that you thought would go in a certain direction, take a different road. As much as you may want to, there is no way to stop it. You just have to let go. Sometimes it's hard, but it will benefit you in the long run. Never give up. Always move forward.

God says that you are pleasing him by giving Him something to eat when he is hungry, and giving him something to drink when He is thirsty, and visiting Him while He is sick.... The least of these need our help. The least of these are those who are hungry and thirsty and thriving for company. The least of these are Jesus basically. And it is up to those  of us  who are more fortunate to please God by helping out those who are not so fortunate in earthly things. In order to take our spot in heaven, we must help all of those we can while here on earth.
