Reunited and it Feels so Good

I wrote this November 17 on a different blog... I just think it was one of my better posts so I should share it here, too:
So a lovely girl named Angela helped me retrieve my Bible. Thank you.
sadly, now I can’t find my keys (or rather, key). this is a bother. :( I checked the library and they didn’t have it. Did I possibly leave it in your class?
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9 And He said to me “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weekness” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecution, in distresses for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

A very great gift that God gives you is your weakness. It’s what keeps us from puffing up, prideful, and is the means of the power of Christ remaining in you.

Which made me think, (I have thought of this before though) maybe if I was NOT shy, I might have gotten friends (too many and the wrong kind) and got lost from God . Without this shyness I might not relate to some people who also hurt. I might not care to help at all. I might not feel the same huge feeling of “I totally want to hug you!” Or I might be the goody-goody type that is deluded into their own prideful awesomeness and nobody really likes…< because they think they’re better than everyone
So with shyness, or with whatever hardship I suffer, it means God’s still with me, and I might realize that Jesus loves me— whatever I’m losing doesn’t matter… His grace is enough for me. and duh, whatever suffering and pressures I feel here will go away if I end up in that place of ETERNAL HAPPINESS. :)

Nightmare

I had a nightmare of my dad coming in my face and screaming at me. Sucks. It took focusing on a halls cough drop, abdominal breathing, and praying to get me to relax. Though, that was pretty cool. I love when I take care of myself and go into "mommy" mode.

is the best ever. lol.
