My computer is really really slow. The connection is horrible and it's bugging me right now. Everything seems to load up slowly! It says I have a strong connection, but 24 is not strong. It was even at a 1.0 and never seen that before and it was also at a 5.0 which are horrible speed connections. With my other computer, I had other problems. I guess it's our connection and not the computer itself, though I do not really know.
I had a pretty good day, but I am looking forward to getting my bus pass this weekend! Then I can go to the library and work on catching up with email and working on my blog site. I really want to try and write on my blog daily, but usually I am not very good at that. I'll just do what I can and when I can do it.
Well, I best be going to bed now because I think my best friend is going to call me at 7am in the morning; at least, that is what it sounded like she wanted to do. I told her she can call me whenever she wants because I know she is going through a hard time. We both are and I want to be there for her like she has been there for me. She encouraged me to talk to people about things that are very hard to talk about and also scary to talk about. But I am learning that God puts people in your life, so that you can share things with each other. Not just the good times either, but also the bad times. How else are we suppose to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ? So I have to be brave and share what's on my mind and not be afraid of how someone will react and treat me.
If I open up and I am honest, I won't miss so many of the blessings that God is gracious to give me. When I joined the mentoring program, I never imagined that I would have a awesome relationship with four ladies at church. Lots of things that I did not want to share with them, but I found myself sharing things I never thought I could share.
Two of my mentors I only met last year and the other two I have known for a while, however, I have not really truly known them. Why? Because there is knowing someone by name and then there is knowing someone by spending time with them and getting to know what they are like, how they think, how they pray, and how they encourage you. So in a way, it's like having four brand new friends.
I worked VBS with one of my mentors several years ago, but I forgot what grade it was. I enjoyed it a lot and would love to work VBS with her again. The other mentor that I know; I met when I was babysitting for the choir and I got to know her a little better through Cornerstone Sunday School class and now I've gotten to know her even more. Now we are in another Sunday School class together.
If I had to choose to get together with one of these ladies once a week and not all four of them each month; I'd have a really tough decision to make because they are all absolutely delightful ladies to spend time with and wonderful Sisters in Christ! I don't think that I could ever just choose one of them to spend time with regularly!
Well, like I said earlier, I better get to bed. I still need to read Psalms 23. I have been reading Psalms 23 every single day for 3 weeks now! This is something new I began doing the night I decided to admit myself into the hospital. I have never really meditated on a chapter like this, but it's really quite awesome and in the process of meditating on it, I have pretty much memorized it also.
