Yessss! I'm up to 3,000 posts now!
Seriously...y'all have been very kind to me. I post all about what's going on and y'all pray for me. I've learned to take an active interest in other people's lives, too. That's huge for me.
I'm making progress. Still not yet in church, but I'm praying for one. An acquaintance from HS asked my mother on Facebook how I"m doing (I deleted my facebook years ago). I'll give him my email address and see where it goes from there.
I pray for my enemies everyday, even when I don't want. I pray "please lavish them with blessings above and beyond what they ask for or need," and I'm starting to actually feel it, if that makes sense. "Fake it till you make it"? Not exactly...I'm learning to pray per The Bible, and its making a huge difference in my life.
I'm no longer bitter and anti-psychiatry. For whatever reason, I need meds. 3 of them daily, to be exact, lol. Not a huge deal. I pray for the day I won't need as many, or any, but in the meantime...take your meds. Pray. Try to be a blessing as you receive blessings. Be a river, not a pond.
School will start again soon. January 12th. Already have my books. My dad found an old book shelf in our under the stair closet and now I have it in my room, right next to the PC, so I can organize my books better (I have one already, but its filled with books...).
My parents and I get along well, especially my dad and I. Genuine warmth, forgiveness. Changes everything. My probation officer was talking about (very) early discharge from misdemeanor probation the last time I saw her. I am to call her in a few days, on one of her days when she's doing paper work, not seeing probationers, to see what the next steps are. I'm blessed and excited.
Other than that...physically, I'm surprisingly healthy. Fat, but healthy. I even have ridiculously healthy skin, which is crazy, since I had skin problems starting in middle school. My hair grew back, thicker and crazier than ever. Its even a slightly different color than before. I read that happens...like, if you get chemo or your hair falls out from stress, it can grow back, but it'll grow back a bit different than before it fell out. Weird, huh? My hair now looks highlighted...all the time, which is funny...because I used to bleach and dye and Manic Panic my hair hardcore in my teen years.
So...yeah...post 3,000. Several hundred "likes." Thanks for having me.
