Rambling on November 30th

I was just about to go to bed, but then i enjoyed some raisins and thought i should write something on here so that the whole creation of this page won't be for nothing. So, I'm a survivor of the flu! still have a lingering cough but it's all good. i was a part of a dance recital yesterday. pretty intense. never been so nervous, but it went surprisingly well. i really super enjoy dancing and i would love to be in a more active dance class. but this one is pretty sweet. sooo december is tomorrow. and that's exciting. I Love Christmas! I can't wait to decorate....as soon as this darn kitchen is wallpapered...who would have thought that the hardest part would be getting the old paper off the wall?? it's horrible! I would have just wallpapered right over it except that my lovely cat tore it all up so that it had to be taken down. *Sigh* Anywho, nothing really deep to write about today...feeling pretty superficial! soooo happy last day of november!

Stuck inside with the swine flu

I have been stuck inside for almost a week! I've been fever free for almost 48 hours now which will then mark my freedom to leave my house! Let me tell you, it has not been fun. Nor has it been exciting. Actually, if there had been a video going of my life this past week, it would be hours of me laying on the couch going in and out of conciousness, to then laying in my bed in and out of conciousness, all the while hacking up a lung. or two. Eventful, I know. I feel like the better I've been feeling, the worse it's gotten. Especially today. I wanted to go out and be around people so badly, but there is a 48 hour rule. Apparently, I am contagious until tomorrow morning, 48 hours after my fever broke, medicine free. And let me tell you, nobody wants to come for a visit when they find out you've been sick with H1N1. I feel like it's similar to what lepers must have felt like, nobody wants you to come near them. Understandable. I wouldn't want the flu either. It really puts a damper on things. I'm on the up and up though, and I can't wait to have some social interaction with people besides my dog. He's great company but the conversation is really lacking. Hence my starting a blog thing. Anywho, I guess that's all I really have to write about...I guess I'll write out a list of the movies I've watched since I got sick:

*several episodes of the office
*simpsons christmas dvd special
*simpsons christmas dvd special #2
*armaggedon
*mother goose-rock-n-rhyme
*superstar
*the wedding planner
*edward scissorhands
*from hell
*talledega nights
*a muppet christmas carol
*spiderman
*x-men the last stand
*ghostbusters 2
*the proposal
*popeye the sailor


I can't really remember anymore than that. Lots of movies tho...glad to be better... thanks to everyone who left me messages and what not..i appreciate it :)

john 9:1-3

I was looking in my journal and I found this verse written down:
"..came across a blind man from birth. His disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "neither this man nor his parents sinned", said Jesus. "But this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." -John 9:1-3

Something that i struggle with all the time is the question of why do bad things happen to people..why do people have to deal with sickness, or other things? It's a tough thing to think about...God allowing things to happen to us that we don't necessarily feel are things that we should have to go through. Things happen to people for no apparent reason. I always am thinking "Why has this happened to me, or to them?" or "Why is God allowing this to happen? It's not fair". But I guess the question that I should be asking is more like this..."this is a horrible situation, and it doesn't seem fair. how can i glorify God through this trial?" God is good all the time...and I truly believe that. so even though i question what goes on here on earth, i know that God is ultimately good and knows things that i don't. so instead of spending my life cursing God for the trials that i'll go through, I'm going to try to praise God in the midst of the trials for the things that he has given me, and continue trying to bless him with the life that he gave me. I'm not saying that i think it's okay that bad things happen. I really don't. But I do know that God is bigger than anything that could happen hear on earth.

Not sure if thats really a complete thought or not, but its all i have for now...
