At first, I felt like maybe I shouldn't comment on this entry because it was so personal and I didn't feel like I knew you well enough to. But the truth is, after reading that I feel like I haven't missed a beat in, hmm let's see, 7 years-like I've known you all along. And it's because, some of the stuff you said, I can completely relate to. I could probably take that whole entry and apply it to my life and it would fit perfectly. I've definitely thought some of the exact same things before. Like, "Okay, Lord, you don't want to do it right now? Fine! I'll just do it myself!" And the next thing I know I'm thinking "Why couldn't I have just been more patient?" But you're right, it's all about trust. There is nothing easy about trust, but the "waiting" part, is probably the hardest. Waiting means uncertainty-it's like: I know God will handle this, but when? And how? And why can't it just go ahead and happen now? Just, I think you succeeded in being 100 percent honest. Because the whole time I was thinking, "YEAH!!!" really loudly. And this entry wasn't depressing or corny-it was REAL. It wasn't, "Oh today I woke up. And then I went to school and this kid threw a shoe at me. And then I came home and my snotty sister was putting all my stuff in the shredder. It made me feel mad. GRR! Then, I went to sleep." You were brave enough to write something actually worth reading. But ok, this comment has been plenty long enough. Basically-thank you for all of that!
aw thank-you laura. I really am glad that you did comment. Its funny most of my friends from Inverness i haven't seen or talked to since then, and i just assumed i never would ever agian. But i just think its so cool that after all these years, we just meet agian. Or should I say God brought us together agian. And i am happy that I had such good taste in friends way back then!
Whats really awsome about the whole thing- that I forget is that God doesnt ask us to trust in someone who isnt worthy of it. He is completly worthy and deserves us to trust in Him. He has never let us down, never betrayed us and He only wants what is best for us. We serve such and amazing God. And i am so thankful that you responded so I know I am not alone in feeling this way. Thank-you, I <3 you so much, and we must get together....
I really haven't kept that many memories from school before, like, 6th grade. Which makes me kind of sad, but not very. But I definitely remember you being one of the cool kids who got first-pick to sit on the bench-made-of-tires-thingy. And you were the first person I met that had my same name, and I was like, "Is that possible?" And then you were nice to me, and you let me sit by you on the tire-bench thingy, and you told all the other cool kids that we had the same name, and they were like, "Woah." Haha. Or I might've just completely made that up in my head just now. Who knows. So anyways, you are right, we have only to trust God's perfect will for us. It should be such an easy thing to do-trust what you know cannot fail you. But I make it hard because of my own wants and desires that I somehow think could possibly be better for me. Going back to what you said in your entry-as if I know better than my own Creator! But hey I might go to Coldstone sometime Friday night to see Kelsey Freeman hah...come if you can/want? Elementary school reunion! YES! Do you have AIM? My s/n is eurekas000castle. Another long comment! Awesome! Bye!
haha i really don't remmeber that. I always thought i was a loser... lol. Thats a good story! I don't think i remember anything else from then, just that mrs. costilow took her leg off and passed it around the class, i don't think you were in my class that year. Did you have her, did you have mrs. borie for 2nd grade? Yes i would love to come! my s/n is larabrook8 and cell phone is 529-1673. It will be cool to have a laura in my phone book!
I was totally in Mrs. Costilows class! I didn't touch that leg. I don't think I completely comprehended the concept of "fake" limbs so when that leg came around to me, I was like, "No thanks not this time! I'll just stick with my own body parts!" But she is probably still the best teacher I've had. She was great. My cell is 999-1318 but its not really mine, even though supposedly it is, but my dad stole it once about a day after I got it, and he hasn't given it back yet. I can use it sometimes-but he usually answers. It's great little arrangement. Except it isn't. Talk to you later!
