If only a bit of a ministry, I'm so glad to have this lil bit to hang on to. I've mentioned several times about how I see the same regular customers over and over. It is often a blessing!! You get to know them, and they you.
There's a guy who comes in who reminds me of my dad. My dad and I never had a good relationship. So I don't have great memories there. IDK why this guy reminds me of him, and in a good way. He's normally very quite, and not moody, but not nice. We were talking the other day and I asked how he was and mentioned that I hadn't seen him in a lil while. He told me he'd been in the hospital for kidney failure and is now on dialysis 3 days a week. By the time I rang him out, I told Him I'd be praying for him, and he said thank you. But When he was leaving he said "By the way, my name is michael." Each day when I see him I ask how he's doing. The other day we were 1/2 through his sandwhich and he said "I think your prayers have been helping." I have been praying for him since the night I told him I would. God is good. He is gracious, understanding, and gives us what we need.
There are other customers that I have genuinly been able to say I'd pray for them as well. I have to admit I have a hard time praying for myself regularly. And other things around me. But I've really enjoyed being able to pray for others.
It makes me think of the ministry I want to start some day. I don't quite know what that's going to look like, but I like that God's allowing my heart feel like He's using me :)

please PRAY!!! been really sick
In my last post I wrote about how I'd been really sick, coming home from PA. It was AWEFULL!!! Well, the past 3-4 days I've been struggling w/ a migrain. They've been reallllllly bad the past few months. The head ache part goes away for a while, but the nausia and vomiting part sticks around longer. I'm having a hard time keeping food down. So I have been trying to live off of gatorade. I'm kind of worried b/c it's not really healthy.
Besides all that, it's been realllly hot out. And that just doesn't help.

How'd it going? Being home that is.
Yes, Yes I was home just a few weeks ago. It was a trip I'd anticipated for weeks on end. I was sooo excited to leave my dull mundane life here to go back to my busy hi paced one back home.
As soon as I got home, straight from the airport Andrew and I were off to meet up with friends who were camping. It was a 3 hour drive. Anyway, the next day, before traveling home, Andrew and I went on a trail to see waterfalls that were there. It was like a 7 mile hike and we did it in 2 1/2 hours. Let me tell you, my legs were sore the next four days!!
My good good good friend, Devon, got married. She was absolutly georgous!!! That was the main point of me coming home. I promised her that when I moved.
I had expectations when I left here. I thought I'd be spending a lot of times with some friends. And knew I'd see other friends at the wedding and such. Turns out that the friends I was expecting to see more (since they were my close friends before i left) are the ones i saw the least of. And the ones who I've known forever but don't get to see much are the ones I really was able to get some time in with. I deffinatly came home feeling very confused. But was blessed by reconnecting with some.
I was traveling back home to TX on Tuesday. I was planning to spend last minute time with friends ans such on Sunday and Monday. But Sunday I started feeling a bit sick, and monday worse. I did some errands and then took a nap till 7pm and made myself get up to do some packing. Tuesday sicker than Monday. I vomited several times throughout the days. (I held the plane up at one point b/c they couldn't taxi in w/ me being in the bathroom.) I had a 3 hour lay over in Houston TX. I was so sick to my stomach (and had sooo much pain in my back as well, that i almost decided to go to the E.R. and was ganna pay someone from down here to come pick me up. With a LOTTTT of prayer I made it home. But the next day I went to the E.R. here. They didn't know what it was from, and thought I just had a virus. But it wasn't anything serious such as gull bladder, kidney, exc.
I had to take several days off of work. That was hard b/c I already had a week of no pay, due to being home. And then the following week due to taking off, I'd only have like a 2 day pay. It's been a bit rough trying to catch back up. But God provides.
