Its a Brand New Day

I rode a bike today. All I can say is it has been too long! I love riding bikes! Funny how when you haven't ridden in a while, hills seem like mountains hehe! but now I know that we have one that works...I will become good friends with those hills.

Things with Her are not looking up, but after a hard time last night and little sleep, my perspective has changed. Last night I didn't sleep more than 3 hours total because my mind was running a million miles a second and around 2 am my pup found a gecko outside to be extremely entertaining. The funny thing is I let myself be annoyed for almost 45 mins and then when I let him in my room he quieted down and went to sleep. :) A few hours later I was standing in front of about 15 teenagers and talking to them about the differences between hope and faith and the importance of doing all we can do so that grace can save us. The spirit of the class was so strong, which I found impressive from tired teens at 6am.

They actually listened and they were thinking. Thats all I really wanted. I want them to THINK. They are very smart and intuitive people. I think that too often we baby them until they get to college but no, they already know the basics. They already know so much! I didn't expect them to read, and they didn't but to be honest I didn't read that much in High School either. I just want them to really think and question what exactly it is that they want. What do YOU hope for? I asked them. What do you want out of life? What do you think or hope a better world would be like? At first I think they were shocked that I asked them that. But then I explained that I hope that one day I will be able to fly, or part the ocean just because I can. I hope that at some point I will meet someone I will want to spend forever with. I hope that I will survive past the age of 22. It was then that they started saying what they want, like someone to be with and be able to travel wherever they want. IT was so GOOD! They had some really good hopes. Since then My day has been great. I finally realize why. I bore my testimony to them and they understood and I know that they didnt just listen but they heard it. I needed that for me. I needed to say it out loud to someone, so that I could hear it. I also realized that I am meant to be home right now and Heavenly Father hears me and wants to give me the time I need.




She called today, she wanted to talk to me. After Daddykins talked to Momsy about what was going on, she asked to talk to me. :) She told me about what she had to eat and a show they watched and how the doctors wont leave her alone to sleep. hehe. I love her. She is my sister. Things are looking up, even though She is going downhill. She is having more problems but I know now that the person I was looking for yesterday was right here. I am right here for me. I know that everything will be ok. It might be a half lie but thats all right! I know its at least half true. And though I spent the whole night and day today praying that HIS will be done...I think that you know if its time soon that ok, because at least I am home and I get to say see ya later sis. I hope thats not the case, but I have faith that things will work out one way or another.

So I had a magnificent salad for lunch and in a few minutes we will have Enchiladas for dinner. I can't wait! I love Enchiladas. Our friends dog cinnamon had 7 puppies today. I will post pictures tomorrow. I heard they are adorable and I get to go visit them later :) Also tonight is the stargazing party but I am not sure if I will end up going..I would rather be with Her.

And for those of you who do not know....Cooking Light is a great magazine! There are some amazing recipes in there. And jazzercise will never go out of style hehe :) !

Patience
