Well today... work kinda sucked *-)... haha. Actually it was alright. Nothing really special happened though i don't think. I woke up this morning and could barely move i hurt so bad. I don't even have any idea why. I felt really sick to my stomach and a little later got a killer headache. I slept pretty much right up until i was supposed to work. Work started off pretty brutal though, with me not feeling well I had a hard time being happy towards customers =p. It all worked out alright though, and i felt better a few hours into my shift. I don't know who cares to hear any of this, but i don't care if you do or not, i'm here to write stuff....

My mom's friend passed away last night. She had been sick for quite a while with cancer and now she's finally gone home. I read the email that my parents got in regards to it on my way home from work, and burst into tears as i read what her husband had to say (they also have 3 young kids). "She is already deeply missed. She was an amazing wife, terrific mother to our kids, and my best friend." Then he signed off the email with these words, which struck me as a really powerful statement.
"Reassured by what is certain.

Christopher"

After having just had your wife pass away, being able to say something like that speaks so strongly of your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. I'm bawling as i write this lol. I wish i had that faith. I am working at getting to know God more, and am making an active effort to do it, but i'm not there yet. Not that i suddenly expected to be, it's just a statement. My prayers go out to the Zoolkoski family, that God would continue to show them His goodness, and to be their solid rock of certainty as they step forward into life.

This is my prayer for us all...

Hey Carey,

Having faith like that is what our journey through life is about. And you aren't generally aware of it until life knocks you around a bit, you get through it, then look back and realized there was a bit of faith there. then you go through the process again! God is faithful to do His work in us. We'll pray for this family and your mom too as she grieves for her friend. It is a comfort to know we'll see our loved ones yet again. That's our hope. Take care. I'm sure work has become a bit easier now...
