two updates in one night? what's going on here?
I've more or less spent the past 3-4 hours reading this. And crying kind of a lot.
When I think about the way my past few hours have been spent I begin to think that I've wasted so much time sitting at my computer. Reading. But when I think about what I read and learned and absorbed during that, it wasn't time wasted at all. I began by reading the "about section" because I was confused after reading the latest few entries. That lead me to read the "Him" section. Where I cried. A lot. And then I read the "Ripple Effect" section, and cried some more. This inspired me to go to the beginning of the journal and read the entries chronologically. I intended to read a few entries and then save the link in my bookmarks to read some more later. But I just kept reading. And reading. And reading. I reluctantly stopped to take a shower, but then it was back to reading. And then I realized that I had read the whole thing. Because it was so captivating, and encouraging. The strength that this girl has had to get through these struggles is awe inspiring. While I hope that I will never have to share in the pain that she feels, I pray if that day comes, that God would give me even an ounce of the courage and and strength that he has given her to cope with this. Her story is so inspiring...
