Just a crazy week it has been knowing that Thanksgiving came up on me real fast. I had to take a Greyhound bus trip from Bloomington,IL to Birmingham, Alabama with stops along the way and it was a long one but honestly it was a time for me to reflect on the wonderful glory that the Lord has given to me through my family not to mention just the amazing things that our Lord does in and through our lives. So I thought about that a lot throughout the whole bus trip down to Alabama and I really want to make my desires focus on relationships just not for the Holiday Traditions and that is why I tend to not be as exited for Holiday Traditions then I am for sharing Gods Glory, life, testimonies, pain, struggles w/ people. This topic of relationship dawn on me during one certain situation I had with someone at one of the bus terminals and it occur when I was standing outside shortly before everyone had to board onto the bus that was about to be moving towards my destination and the guy that I was standing next to asked me if I was interested in buying some jewelry and I immediately told him no, then he said that he was $10.00 short of getting a bus ticket then I realized that right after I told him no that I was buying any jewelry from him I realized that I had exactly $10.00 in my wallet and here this guy was trying to give something of the best value that he had just to get something of lesser value which was the bus ticket and this whole situation brought a testimony in my life by teaching me that in life whether we want to believe it or not we need to give up more valuable things of ours just for someone else to have joy when we could of just had the same joy by having what was most valuable to us at that certain time that we then at that time gave to someone in need I mean that is ministry and that's what God loves about his believers and FOLLWERS on Earth and that is what I am trying to plant into my spirit this Holiday Season of 2008, just remembering that testimony on my trip to Alabama.

I am in deed back here on xanga everyone and glad to be back too. I call up my mom who lives down south in Alabama and she told me that her ex-boyfriend that she dated back in college has cancer in his mouth and she thinks that it was caused by him smoking but is not sure. So that was something that really humble me into prayer throughout the past week or so. Cancer in the mouth is kind of an unusual spot to have cancer I suppose but then again I don't know much about cancer and where it is most likely to be and all of that stuff but anyhow I just thought  I'd share that with you all. Another cool thing that God did with me and another great friend of mine was that last Sunday night right before I went to Fuel which is a young adult ministry I go to once a week, I ended up getting into a powerful conversation with my friend that the Lords spirit lead us into about suffering. So we started to talk back and forth about how Satan sometimes lies at us by saying during the times of our suffering that ''you are the only one who is going through this right now...''there is no hope in your suffering right now''. So we went on in this conversation and it work out that the message that was brought to everyone at Fuel was exactly about Suffering. So like a day later I was just in awe of how God does something like that in the perfect timing after you and a brother or sister in Christ were just focusing on that such topic, in that case it was suffering. So like throughout the past day or so I have just been giving God my thanks about what he had did during that time. Some other things that I will be doing coming up in early July is that I will be spending some time in Tennessee and in Atlanta, Georgia for a total of three days. In Tennessee I will be going to a historical site with my mom which is suppose to be real impressive then after that I am going to an Atlanta Braves Baseball game also with my mom. Anyway, I hope all my xanga friends whom I have known for awhile are doing forever well and you know who you are !!!!!
