Stupid internet.

So, here's the truth. I spend a good amount of time on a post a couple days ago, but as I hit the button to publish it, my internet blinked out...erasing it. I was so frustrated I haven't touched this thing for days. But I learned a valuable lesson...ctrl+c before hitting the publish button, just in case.

This is what has dawned on me recently - God is very strategic about the people He puts in our lives. Sure, sometimes I wish I hadn't met certain people, or I wish I had better relationships with other people...but it's all in His plan. People come and go, some leaving bigger holes than others in their wake. But God brings along people to fill those holes, after we choose to let Him fill it first. I am starting to realize that there are a handful of people that I am SO blessed to have in my life, and they have been a huge help to me recently. I am so thankful for the close friends I have, and how they make me smile and laugh every day...even when I feel like life couldn't get any worse. Thank you, God.

So...some exciting things coming up! God continues to AMAZINGLY provide for my school bill, even though I have to work close to 35 hours a week (which really stinks when I have this amount of homework). I'm not only keeping my head above the water, but I have money for things like a Skillet concert in NYC October 2! SO EXCITED! Decyfer Down and Hawk Nelson will also be there. I can't wait. October is going to be a very, very good month...for more reasons than just that concert ;)

Even though life is pure insanity right now, man, I love it. I will never again be at this point in my life, so I have to focus on living for God and appreciating what He has given me while I still have it. He always has been, and will always continue to be, my everlasting and loving Father who continuously watches over me.

Hitting ctrl+c before I forget. ;)
