Still recovering from being sick, but God is good. While being sick, I was reminded of how weak we really are. How little we can handle. How much we truly need our Heavenly Father! It was the first time Ive thrown up in years, and after 8 hours of it, it finally slowed down. But it reminds me of the blessing of good health. It reminded me of what an awesome family I have. My little brother offered to clean the nastiness up, lol, I told him its ok to go back to bed. But just the offer meant a lot. My mom is definitely very mom like :-P and took good care of me :-P. At least today I was able to eat a full pop tart. The best part was knowing that God was right there, and He loves me. Such an undeserved love. His love is not determined by our circumstances. Its a good lesson, because not to long ago I broke down. I was so confused. Ive been constantly praying for so long for a couple friends ;-), and nothing seems to be changing for them. I love them so much, and I know that God loves them even more! So why wont He change their circumstances. He has the power! Than a long time friend reminded me that God will never give them more than they can handle! And perhaps Hes preparing them for the future. Or perhaps, so they can help others who are going through the same things! God is good, and He sees the big picture, that we can not see! When all is said and done, they will be wiser and stronger because of it! They can look back and see what God was doing all that time. All the tears will not be wasted, you are loved to much for that! God's listening, He hears your cries. Remember, my ears are still open as well. For anyone that needs it!

Ya know God is truly unbelievable and amazing!!! The last couple days Ive gotten the chance to work at a place called copperfield inn! Its literally on the same road that you would take to go to Gore. In fact, we turned the wrong way, and seen the ski lifts over the mountain, coming down. The ride up is trees, beautiful beautiful trees, including my favorite, Birch! Its rivers and streams!!! I LOVE running water, its one of my favorite of Gods awesome creation!!! Rivers, oceans, lakes even, streams and creaks, and definitely waterfalls!!! Its amazing! Anywho, the inn is beautiful as well!!! You go inside and the setting is at first a fancy rich people type feel :-P. But you go around, and theres a very rustic outdoorsy feel as well! The furniture, the lanterns, the bar is amazing!!!! I dont condone drinking, but it was a very very beautiful room and setup they have in there. Theres a fire place, with the bar stools made with branches! The chandaleir is made of antlers, and theres a huge mirror with there sign (a moose). At each of the tables in a little sit down room they must have for people who dont want to go in the bar, is a book. Which at a down time I picked up to read a little bit. It was pretty interesting. About a trapper, so while waiting for your food and drinks, you can read a humorous yet very sweet book about a certain moose, and a certain trapper. I thought that was very unique and a good idea. However when you get to the attic, it becomes a very tight and uninviting place to be. This is where most of our day was spent. I have to say, I actually enjoyed it, despite this fact. You had to climb, duck, and crawl (sometimes on your stomach) through a maze of plywood, 2X4's, insulation, pipes, and vents! I got to play the part of a monkey, one of the small energetic kinds :-P. The first day up there, I stood up to soon, as I was walking quite fast. Slammed my head into a random piece of wood, and it blurred my vision, for a second! Yet thankfully the pain went away rapidly, and all vision was restored in an instant. Praise God for a hard head! I happened to hit right where youd want to headbutt a soccer ball. I was lucky. God is watching, Im tellin ya :-P. However today, I will be honest. The manly man that I am, I almost cried :-P. I once again tried to stand up, and there was a sheet of plywood above my head. Not as lucky, I hit in the back center of my head, and it stunned me. It hurt soooooo bad at first, and my eyes watered up a ton! LISTEN TO THIS!!!! Because my eyes watered, whatever it was that got into my eye and hurt like crazy, is no longer there!!! And after about a minute, again, there was no pain, there was no headache. I praise God so much for the hard head that I was given. For the nature that He created!!! That I had the priviledge of enjoying it greatly! Even in the rain, it was a beautiful day. No doubt, do we serve a mighty, loving creator. May all the glory go to Him!!! Through the good and the bad, He deserves praise!

sadness and goodness

yesterday on lunch break I called my good friends the Housts! This is actually kinda crazy, cause I dont usually if ever call on weekdays, and try to do something. Because of work. But I got a weird urge to play a sweet game called quiddler. Nichole picks up and says she probably wont play, and starts to cry. They lost their dog Molly yesterday! What a sweet dog to, and she was loved dearly! But my job is pretty laid back, and they allowed me to head home early so I could be there for them! Im so glad I had the oppurtunity. There was a small amount of tears, but good times as well! Please keep them in prayer, they are an awesome family!!! And this was very sudden! Their currently looking for a new dog.

Praise God for good people :-)
