"Jeremy proposed..."
My best friend is ENGAGED!!!!!!!!
Rachel and Jeremy - engaged on their 12 week anniversary and planning to get married on May 13th. Fast, yes... but you can tell they are made for each other. I'm so happy for them!!! I started crying, which is a pretty big deal. Congrats to them!!!
My other good friend from high school, Cory, is going to be celebrating his 1-year anniversary with his wife this upcoming March 19th. Where did I go wrong with these two? ;-)
A few prayer requests...
I found out a couple hours ago that my Grandma fell and broke her hip this morning at work. I was terrified as I received a text message from my cousin, reading "Have you talked to any family today?" That's never a good sign. She called me and explained the situation. My grandma just got out of hip replacement surgery. Apparantly it went well, however, she must remain at the hospital for the next month for physical therapy, so please pray for a timely recovery. And that she will be careful once she gets home (she is stubborn like me but will hopefully do as the doctor says.)
On to the next -
My cousin Stephanie that lives in Colorado is doing a little better. The doctors said that she has progressed very well. Just a little background: She was hit by a car and suffered severe head trauma along with breaking nearly every bone in her body. She has been in a coma since around Thanksgiving. She is a mother to foster children and a wife, so this has been really hard, especially with her being in a state away from everyone else.
Now on to me -
A week ago, I hurt my hand while playing racquetball (yes, with my own racquet.) The visible bruising has started to go away, but the pain is still there. It only hurts on occasion, but it's still bad. Not sure what I did to it, but I'm fairly sure that it isn't more than a mere flesh wound. It is annoying though. Definitely not ANYTHING compared to the two other injuries in this post.
Between a rock and a hard place..
Have you ever had that feeling of just being stuck? I am really struggling with that right now. I feel like I'm stuck in prety much every aspect of my life. I know it's not a good way to view things, and I'm trying to figure out why I feel that way. There are some places in my life that I just CAN'T move forward in (relationships, job, school), yet they are probably the most frustrating. I guess I will get over it though. I just need to remember that those aren't what I should be worried about being "stuck" with, but rather how "stuck" I am with God.
Philippians
Please, please remind me of this passage. I have a tendency to take things into my own hands because I think I have control of them when I really don't. This causes me to be really stressed out and I know it affects a lot of aspects of my life. So please... if you feel like I am neglecting a relationship or am acting arrogant or anything, please tell me to look at this. I would greatly appreciate it.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
-Philippians 4:6,7
