FYI...

For the record, I was not high on anything when I wrote that last entry, nor was I drunk. Also, while my mood is still decently the same, today was still a Tuesday, and my energy level plummeted around 5:00. By the time I got to my jujitsu class, I thought I would drop right there, and when we went to the student center at 11, I spaced out and didn't hear Scott (my sensei) ask me a question. But still, today was an amazing day, because it felt completely different. Its good to be able to strengthen relationships like I did today. Looking back, actually, there were a lot of them. The main one being my relationship with God, since, obviously, he was the only one who wasn't hindered by a class schedule. With him on my mind for most of today, I had a lot of opportunities to hash things out. Things I like about my life, things I want to change, a little room for complaints (or, a lot of room). Basically, things I haven't told God in a long time because I let stuff get in the way. I guess in a way, it helped me start to care about things more. For example, my friends. I started praying for them, something I haven't done with "umph" for a while. People who are engaged, people who are pregnant, someone I know in Iraq, and thanks that the others have come home safely, prayers for a marriage going down the drain, prayers for a friend who is questioning life (I sure know how that feels...). I believe pretty strongly in the power of prayers, but its been a while since I've acted on it. Anyway, that's my addendum. I like that word. Anyway, goodnight.

Hi,
You don't know me and I don't know you, but I randomly clicked my way onto your blog and I just wanted to say how brilliant it is. You really do have a lovely way with words, and I really admire the way that you can write in a way that is obviously very personal and deeply felt but is also entertaining for someone like me. I was at RU last semester as an exchange student and I have to say I met disappointingly few Christians (or, at least, people who openly talked about their religion)so I'm glad you have found that there are some around (I was so disappointed - America's supposed to be a religious country but God seems to have almost bypassed New Brunswick!). Anyway, I didn't mean to waste so much space on your blog, so I'll stop right now!

David: Thanks so much for leaving the message. It was not a waste of space at all. I don't know if you will randomly click your way back here to see my response, but if you do, then you'll know that it was encouraging to me, both in terms of my writing abilities, and in the way that I feel about God.

Thanks, Meghan
