Faith, Hope and Love... and SPN.
Yesterday we found out that Alex passed the second level of a public English exam called the Eiken with flying colors. I was a bit worried about the interview, but he only got one point deducted, possibly for reading a word wrong in the text. We are pretty excited about this. The test is supposed to get harder from this April, with actual writing questions whereas until now it was just a mark sheet, so we were hoping that he would pass this one now before it changed.
Yesterday I also decided I was going to try to make some sour cream. We can't get it over here, except for a very thick kind - almost like cream cheese - and it is very expensive. But I got a recipe on Pinterest, just mixing 200cc of cream with 2 T of yoghurt and keeping it in a warm place for a day. I tried it, and it wasn't as thick as I thought (maybe I needed more yoghurt) but it turned out well enough that I could make some guacamole. I LOVE guacamole <3 We made some nachos for dinner tonight and it was a very happy dinner for me.
Today, a friend told me that she was going through a very tough time and I decided it was about time to start praying. Once I started, I began to think of other things I should have prayed about long ago. I think I'm going to be doing it regularly from now on.
I just thought of something. Nothing to do with real life, but just (naturally) a thought about the Show.[Spoiler for SPN Season 11 (click to open)]
The God of Supernatural is the story writer, aye? So, God did answer Sam's prayer in Form and Void. He did let Sam find the cure for the "rabids." Sam asked for a sign, and so he thought that's what the vision was, but he was looking in the wrong place. The Reaper and the Bible passages gave him the sign.
According to SuperWiki, the Biblical verses Sam looks up are:
Mark 9:49:
"Everyone will be purified by fire as a sacrifice is purified by salt."
Psalm 89:20:
"I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him."
I particularly like that last one. Sam, God's servant, anointed with holy oil.
Sam: So, I know it's been a long time but... Dean and I, we've been through a lot of bad, but this is different. This is my fault, and I don't know how to fix it. And if I have to die, I've made my peace with that, but please Dean deserves better. Dean deserves a life. There are people out there, good people... who are going to suffer because of me, and I'm not asking you to clean up my mess. Hell I don't even know you're out there, but if you are, and if you can hear me, I-we need your help God. We need to know there's hope, we need a sign.
Hmmm... I wonder what would happen if Sam just threw some holy oil on the Darkness?
