Pretty Crazy Day !

Jan 19, 2005 22:57


Today was a good day to begin with at least. I got up, went to school was having fun talking with friends and all that stuff that you do at school besides learn. And then before 4th block i was talking to Elizabeth and she was telling me how she got an early dismissal and everything. I asked her why and she said for Jimmy McDaniels' funeral. I was speachless because i had no idea he had passed away sunday morning. The news hit me so hard i just couldn't concentrate at all during 4th block and that was all that was on my mind. I kept thinking of Martha and how she was doing with out her Jimmy. I went and grabbed some lunch after school and then went to work. As i walked in the door with the toughts still weighing heavily on my mind i went into the fellowship hall and sitting there to the right of me was Martha and when she looked up at me and said my name i just went over and we both stood there hugging for like at least 2 minutes. I was so upset but didn't want her to see it because i was afraid it would make things worse. God knew what i needed and that was to make sure she was ok and just to see her. So after i saw her and went into the kitchen i grabbed my mrs. leila and started to cry and tell her how i missed him and what a wonderful man he was and everything i could tell her. It was really a lot to say for him because i cried and i never cry.. He was a wonderful person and always made me smile and lived everyday in and out for the Lord. Mission trip 2 years ago with him was filled with great memories as he and martha were my group leaders. I became very close to them just by seeing them every Wednesday night at Prime Time and on Sunday mornings. I know that Jimmy is in a better place now but it just still hurts inside my heart.  I will try to have a better day tomorrow but thanks to some great friends i have at work like Richard, Kristin, Ms.Leila, Mrs. Yvonne, and Mrs. Teresa i made through the day.  Thanks for being there for me when i needed it most.  Have a great night. To end I'll leave you with my favorite Bible verse:

" For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. " Plans for good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."   Jeremiah 29:11
