ER

Hey everyone. so its been a while since I’ve written, but i felt it necessary now because at 2am today i woke up with this really sharp pain in my stomach and had to go to the emergency room. It was scary for me and i didn’t know what to do. So i sat in the hospital bed and i silent prayed asking for him to help me with this pain and take it away.  Later at about 4:30 they took blood and did x-rays and found everything was OK. So afterwards they said that i should rest for a while and that I’d be OK and to go back if it happens again.

Before i went back to bed i prayed again because i was still in pain because the medicine they gave me wore off and i couldn’t fall asleep. And then in like 10 mins i fell asleep and woke up today and the pain was gone. It could of just been that the pain went away but i think that it was more than that. Whenever i pray to god he almost always helps me and when he doesn’t i know that he wants to, butmaybe then it was something i needed to do on my own. Hes always helping me and caring for me and feel the love now. Before where i used to live and the way i used to be i would’ve been like,”He might love me but i don’t feel it and there for i don’t care”. But i feel I’ve changed for the best and that made me the better person i am today.

Basically all i wanted to say is that if your in pain or scared or doing something new and you don’t know what to do, pray. He’ll be with you always and help when he needs to. He loves you and wants you to feel better but at the same time struggles are there to help us become stronger and that makes us the people we are. It helps to struggle every once in a while.

OK well I’m going to go thanks for listening. Bye.

First Post!

Hello people. So now its time For my first, Probably really short, Post!  So before i do this just to let you know, im not a big blogger so i doubt i’ll get on this very much but i’ll see what happens. As for this weekend, we all know chlo wasnt feeling good, but noone worry. It’s her problems so just let her be. She’ll deal with it just fine.

As for the retreat AWESOME! it was my first official retreat. Well besides the labor day camping. But i dont count that because back then i wasn’t saved and didn’t know exactly what anyone was talking about and all i was interested in was hanging out with my friends, while i still like doing that, its not the main part of why i go now. This weekend i had soo much fun. All the teachings were amazing and they all spoke to me. Although i have to say the things that keith was saying about the whole “Being Spiritually Drunk” was the thing that most spoke to me because after the teachings when we prayed i felt so spiritually uplifted that i prayed in a different way then im used to and it also ties in with the teaching about failing and not being afraid to fail. I was afraid that if i tried praying differently then id seem, um, “Spritually Stupid” i guess is how i’d put it. But then i face the fear and i didnt fail. And even though this was a smaller thing to fail at i  still mattered to me.

And afterwards I got alot of nice comments about my prayer that for the rest of the night i was just SO happy and excited that i took the chance.

 

well i’ve gotta go do my accounting.
