Some Things.
Prayers are working and Elise has shown promise. So much so, she was released from the hospital yesterday and allowed to go home. I was so happy to find out.
Christy-Anne gave me a really great idea for sending her something very special. We're also working on finding a way that I might fly home during my fall break in October, that way I can visit her and be there with her for a while. It'd be great if Christy-Anne and George could both go with me. I don't know... But I know I'd love it.
Besides that, there haven't been too many developments. I'm still getting my new house put together and we've painted over the majority of the house in great new colors. Very contemporary and fun. We're decorating and getting everything arranged. Our place is going to be one of those hang-out places that everyone wants to go to after work. That's just how it's going to be and I'm glad. I can't believe how long I went after moving here without truly socializing.
And on that point, it's been really great sharing myself with people lately. Thurday night, I went with Christy-Anne to the small group she meets with and it was really nice. Everyone was really open and friendly and very interested in who I was, which has always been something I have selfishly wanted to be. Interesting. And they affirmed me when I told them my story of how I moved out here and the fact I don't regret it, that I learned a ton, and even though there's still healing taking place from all the emotional damage that Andy left, I've really come to understand the vastness of God's power and authority in my life. I have to give a great big shout out to God for all the good I have in my life right now. I feel so content and fulfilled. I guess this is what you call joy.
Anyway. Once again, I'm at the library, checking up on things, reading my Elise emails and now I'm here, writing again. This will always be therapeutic for me... I don't know why. It simply must be a part of myself that aches to get out on an almost-daily basis and the only way it knows how is through blogging. Of all things. Five years now and it's still not old.
I've been missing my friends lately, though. Like Steph, Leah, and Ryan. Not to mention some friends who I know have gone through a lot of changes. Like Travis, who got married this month! Man, I wish I could've been there to see... But I'm sure it was beautiful. And I've had the chance to talk with Jets lately, whom I miss just like any other friend. But now, with my new Cingular phone and plan, I can talk a lot more limitlessly... Hint hint...
And that's all for now.

hint hint... ha! so.. I guess this means you have a new number? or.. no? I sent you a txt the other morning.
oh.. and a little girl from my parent's church was also just diagnosed with leukemia. It's so scary to think of all she and Elise will be going through for treatment. And it seems so senseless that they would be the ones to contract it.. but I fully believe this will only help them be even better people. not to mention enlighten those around them to the preciousness of life and living and health. Still... why the young? why the sweetest? why is it always the ones we love?
Does this mean that you can call Canada yet?
