Divine Intervention
This week I took part in a Campus Ministry sponsored Busy Person's retreat where this week Monday through Thrusday you meet for a half hour with a nun and talk about prayer and what you're concerned about etc. Well the two things I prayed hardest about was my friend Lindsay and the situation with my nephew Noah. On Tuesday Lindsay came back...making my whole month. Then yesterdayafter talking to the nun I had been assigned to for the last time about my nephew..I found out that after 8 motnhs of absolutely no contact with him...not just me but my sister, ny niece and nephew, and my parents had not seen him or heard his voice since April of last year...and last night my niece called my oldest nephew and they call from time to time but my nephews father never answers the phone because he screens his calls. Well last night he picked up..and actually let my niece, my nephew, and my sister talk to him. They talked about how he's doing in school, how much they love him and vice versa, he and Morgan must have talked for 20 minutes by themselves..my neice is on top of the world..she hasn't been this happy in so long. And she did tell him that she doesn't like his dad because he doesn't let them see him....she's such a strong little girl...I bawled my heart out because I was so happy...God answered my prayers...this wasn't a solution but it was a sign..and we haven't had a sign in 8 months to say that anything was looking hopeful or positive. I feel so blessed and on top of the world..and oh so jealous that i didn't get to talk to my baby..but I'm so happy that the others did...which is more important than me talking to him anyway. It just affirmed for me that even when I can't put all my suffering in god's hands..he takes it from me anyways..and takes care of me. I don't know what will come of them talking..my nephews father may not let them talk again..but it gave all of us hope..as well as my nephew..who probably felt like we didn't love him.
On another note thank you to all who ate at/helped out with the Uno's Fundraiser..i'm not sure how much we made but I think it went extremely well and thank you all for supporting us. I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to danielle because she put alot of effort into making this turn out great and she went down and handed out coupons and passed out a bunch while we were there..and most of the credit of how it turned out belongs to her..you rock danielle! I love ya!
And Ashley Ashley Ashley..what to say about you my love..you are an angel and I couldn't love you more if I tried...you mean so much to me and I am so glad we have stayed such great friends..we have both needed each other this year and its been wonderful to have that support. You have made me feel so special these past few weeks...with the interview and everything...I love you so much! You are my fav Hanson partner in crime and they will always keep us connected..that and art...art friends for life! You are such a beautiful person and I have grown so much because of you...we have both changed so much through high school..and it doesn't matter that we had our bumps along the way..because while we change we always head in the same direction...we are stronger friends now than I ever could have imagined...it always seems like the friendships you have at the beginning seem to grow and change the most..and even though sometimes they grow apart...wind up being the best and strongest relationships you have...and the friendships you had in the middle..tend to stay there. You are an angel in my life and I couldn't ask for more!
OH! And I am so excited..when I talked to the nun I was assigned to on Thursday she was like whats on your mind..and I was like Gay Marriage..and so we talked about it and she fully agrees with everything I said..i couldn't believe it..and Sister Peggy and Sister Marie from campus Ministry were going to go down to the State House Wednesday but they ended up having a meeting...I love that religious people know its right too..and that tehy are willing to support it! Yay for nuns..boo for the Bishop.

"well i just can't seem to beat it
cause my heart's still known to fear
and this smile does all the talking
and this pain is all that's real
and the way that you keep screaming
i can hardly hear to think
and i feel the bridges burning underneath my feet
CHORUS:
where do you go when you're gone?
where do you go when you're gone?
oh how the road feels so long
where do you go when you're gone?
and i just want to stay dreaming
and i just don't want to wake
why can't we keep on sailing
across this silver lake?
and my forehead is still bleeding
from the thorns i used to wear
and i'm left alone and beaten
from the cross i choose to bear
CHORUS
well i've finally found what i'm looking for
though the road's still long
and the night's still full
but i've finally found what i'm looking for
well i've finally found what i'm looking for
though the road's still long
and the night's still full
but i've finally found what i'm looking for
and the voices fall like timber
and the fear it falls like rain
and my heart has crushed the cinders
underneath this kinda pain
and there is no resolution
when the revolution's left
so i'm left with no solution
for the voices in my head"
