And I say Praise God you lived to tell your story. Your testimony is big medicine and you seem to me like John the Baptist shouting in the wilderness with posts that might go unread and stories untold and defenses unnoticed. And like Stephen proclaiming his love for Christ even to his own death with the clothes on your back in tatters, reigning in burdens like so many young stallions. Praise God you lived! You can finish your brother's message!
As for bible discussion - you keep proclaiming the Value of Love in Christ's Message and leave the "this and that" with those who are concerned with this and that.

I can honestly say for pulling an all-nighter, it was WORTH IT. Better than I've expected.
Went shopping at this place I never been to before and the college I'm planning to attend to is around there. They have some of the cutest stuff in the shops, and yes, I was going crazy over some pairs of flats and I bought them. xD Who would've thought, because I was never that type. They match perfectly with some shirts I have, though. New York City is not far from there and I really would love to go there during the summer as well so I can actually conquer my fear of large crowds. I honestly can say, the pills I was suggested by a a nice user on here and actually am taking for my anxiety lessened my anxiousness when it comes to heart rate, sweating, pretty much blocking my mental and emotional reactions even though I still have to work at actually having a little less paranoia. For the most part it all went well. Once I fix myself up mentally and physically, I'm heading for that city type of life. Be who you want and nobody cares!

I found out that the time on the grad party invites got changed. I didn't say that was okay, though, and nobody even asked me what I thought or gave me a reason why until AFTER. Or maybe I did say it was okay yesterday, but was too sad to care or remember. I don't know...I just wished they would have held this off. No one should have came to our house yesterday. I should have said no to grad party planning.
Okay. I should really sleep. Maybe that's my issue. Though I don't feel tired anymore since I've gotten home from church.

Oh man, it is 6:10am here. Today is Monday morning, it is a public holiday. Nonetheless, I agreed with a friend to go riding this morning on her road bicycles, the kind that cycling enthusiasts ride with all the flashy lycra. There will be no lycra for me.
O sleep in, O sleep in, where art thou sleep in?

So, cycling: I haven't ridden a bike in quite some time. Not only that but I have never ridden one of these uber cyclist bikes which is completely different to a mountain bike.
At first I was worried I was going to fall forward from the way you lean to the front. I started off shabby and was constantly fearing for my life. As we went at fast speeds down hill, I couldn't help but mentally note that there was a couple of feet between me, the guardrail to the left and speeding cars to the right.
Anyways, eventually I got used to it all and was having a ball. I have a love for speed (hence why I have lost all the points on my license and am now on good behaviour driving for the next... 9 months) so the breeze brushing against my face and the endorphins from the exercise had me chirpy and silly. I was like waving to people, shouting out 'GOOD MORNING' to people across the road and grinning to garbage truck drivers.
Then there was this married couple in their mid thirties in front of us. All I heard my friend say was 'take over' and BAM, I was in Hulk mode. Some how, I have good endurance and can easily muster up this burst of energy at weird times. But I took over them while giggling like an evil imp, and this must have set off something in the man I was over taking because he ended up leaving his wife behind to try and take over me. And I had unintentionally left my friend behind too because I was... well, I was just in a whole 'nother world of my own. So he became competitive and I had an evil grin on my face and took great pleasure in the fact I was winning. But then they took a different turn and I stopped and waited for my friend who was far off in to the distance.
As I left her house this morning, she sounded very keen to go on another bike ride some time soon.... but something tells me this may not be the case.

It is always perfectly ok to say, " Everyone go away and leave me alone right now. I appreciate your good intentions but I've been through a lot recently and I just want some time alone to rest and process it all. Thank you and goodbye."
We'll be willing to help you hunt for it and find it again, if and when you lose it.

That is one amazing testimony, Homwardbound. I'm so glad you shared it here and that I had the opportunity to read it. No matter our circumstances, the Lord can do amazing things with the tragedies and sufferings we endure to grow us and to help us realise exactly how much we need Him. In our brokenness and neediness for a Saviour, he reveals Himself in ways you can't quite understand unless you were in that place. I love listening or hearing where people have come from, thanks again.
