cool stuff

Hi everyone,

My asthema was so bad that I spent most of my early smoggy summers inside on the couch because I was too asthematic to go play outside. (I don't actually recall this, but then I don't recall half of my childhood. go figure.) It doesn't bother me much now as long as I take my inhalors.

Our local school district when I was young basically sucked (they were an ordeal not to be elaborated on here,), so my mom homeschooled Kaligraphic (my brother) and I. One year, finances were so tight that my parents didn't know if we could afford homeschooling the next year. A women needed to borrow a phone and my parents decided to go ahead and let her in to use the phone (unusual). She suggested a curriclum that my parents didn't know of that was cheaper. We used that and continued homeschooling. The woman left a card with her number on it. My parents went to call soon after they met her and the number was not in service.

When I met one of my very best friends, I had had this feeling that there was something that I was supposed to find. (this was in the beginning at college when I still said hi to random strangers. They really can be nice people.) Apparently she and I had said hi in passing before we ever met. She had prayed for a friend like for the friendship that we have and I found what I was looking for the day we met. We were almost instantly good friends. She is awsome. There are so many things that I admire in her. Last year we were roommates. I prayed for an on campus friend who would be in another christian club that I was in and when I went to the beginning of the year meal event, I met one of my other best friends that day. This was especially good when my roommate was realy sick and wasn't staying on campus nearly so much because of that. I needed another good friend then. They are both so wonderful. Knowing them blesses me so much.

When I was very little, I was very allergic. In this example, I was not well adn the doctor, as some do, didn't do much (like the brain comes out with the baby, dumb. Mothers know stuff.). My mom didn't know quite what to do. She prayed about God showing her what to do. She had to pull over to the side of the road to puke because she suddenly felt bad, like I had been. After that, she knew benadryl would help. It did.

One time when I was very young, my mom had found $100 dollars and really felt that God wanted it to go to the family next door to us. My mom had been having trouble getting out to get a hair cut while taking care of small children. She brought the money over and in exchange was to get the a few hair cuts. The woman next door was good at cutting hair. (The other family was also a christian family.) Very soon after this, that $100 was exactly what was needed to pay for the hospital visit for the birth of the new baby next door. The mom next door later had $50 that she felt was supposed to go to my family. Very soon after this, that $50 was exactly the amunt needed to pay for some other needed thing for my family.

The year before last, my dad got laid-off. My dad had worked for the company for a long time. Almost no-one expected that my dad would be chosen. Because or the way he did his job and conducted his life at work, some people practically created a new temporary position for him for a few months to extend the amount of time before he went to severence pay. His good witness paid off. BTW, he now works in a regular position in a different department of the corporation.

Sometimes my mom was down to the last 70 cents in the check book and she would find food in the pantry that she didn't remember buying. It was like she bought it and God put a vail over it until that then.

My mom also almost died when I was in seventh grade. She has dealt with various medical things for the last years. God has used all of them to in some way minister to others.

Wow.. that's really cool. When things happen the way they have for you and your family, it's a wonder how people can still deny God... You have been blessed.

She was low on money so she wrote down everything that she required in a list and set in her purse and planed to get what she could tomarrow. well in the morning she heard the doorbell ring and went to answer it. there was a guy standing there with a bag of stuff he handed it to her and said this is for you. my grandma look inside and there was her list and everything on it

I love to hear about times when God provides. He does all the time, which is amazing. He cares for us so much. It's great how He's intimately involved with us, His creation. Even the hairs on our head are numbered... wow...

i've actually esperienced "speaking in tongues" at a retreat one time. It was so amazing, that's when I TRUELY gave my heart to Christ. Cause after that, there is NO DOUBT of Gods existence
