Sleepy

So...I'm doing what I do best, procrastination!  I really should be writing a paper on the criminal justice system but blogging was just too tempting.

Today has been long and hard...I have to say I'm so thankful for my friends who keep me going through everything.  Just when I think I have no more fight left in me at all, I get another pep talk, text/phone call, and those are just what help keep me pushing through.  It feels like everything is just going to keep falling apart, I mean, this has been the trend so far right?  I just have to keep believing things will get better.

On the plus side, I think I'm getting my new car on wednesday, so between that and Vegas, at least I have a couple of things to look forward to.

Ok so enough procrastination for now...gotta write that paper so I can sleep!

It's been awhile (again)

It's been almost 2 months since my last post.  To say a lot has happened is an understatement...I've learned a lot, mostly that it's hard to know who to trust and that the best thing you can do in a bad situation is to take things one day at a time, in fact that's all you can do.

Proverbs 24:14
Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. 



Philippians 4:13 NIV
I can do everything through him who gives me strength



I recently lost a great friend and family member, and in all that I've found out about her since her death makes me want to be a better person and a better christian.  She was so selfless and thought more about helping others, both elderly and sick, than she did about herself.  For that I respect and admire her more than I can express.  And for that, and with all I have experienced in this last month especially make me want to be more like her in that way.  It's been awhile since I've gone to church or read the bible or have really turned to God, and I want that to change.  By losing someone I love, the best thing I can think to help me get through this is to think of the better life she has gone to.  In order for that to be true, I believe that God has helped her find her way.  I think if I can be half the person she was, I'll be able to get through these tough times and move on to greater things in the future.  I'll always love and miss you Alenah!
