Mark 4:35

SLEEPY SLEEPY:)

well kind of... My bed is kind of suffocating because I decided to pull all of my clothes out of my closet and go through to figure out what I want to be for halloween and I have to take three test soon so it will be a while. It was a pretty good day:) With the exception of my sweet friend's family hurting her. I understand this a bit too well. My mom's side (for the most part) isn't worth shit. They take advantage of us and use us when they need something and then ignore, don't invite us to family events, and don't show up to graduation, major turns in your life etc, etc. We are first they call when they need money or their birthday is coming around the corner but we are the last to ever get a phone call or card or even word that they are even still alive and it hurts BAD. I hope my sister and I never do this to each other because I know how much it hurts my mom and me. "Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother". This verse relates to me in so many ways. The majority of the time I am closer with my friends than I have ever been with my family. I suppose part of it might be because I live 3 hours away but either way I have a phone and address and have sent them cards, text and left them voicemail's when I have thought of them to brighten their day and what did I receive in return? Not jack shit. Don't get me wrong I do have some real blood family, such as my mimi and papaw. I txt them about every other day and send them a card every week. I have realized we have a very short amount of time with the ones we love. I realized this from my amazing Granny. She died when I was seven but I learned so much about that brilliant, independent, strong woman in that short amount of time I knew her. I think that's why my Dad has such a hard time forgiving his siblings. They haven't spoken (with the exception of his brother) in about eight or so years. Its insane!!!! Losing her was so hard on him because she had such a influence on who he is today. I recently reconnected with "the sisters" and love them all sooo much!! I love being surrounded by them because they all have a different characteristic that they received from Granny and it almost feels like I am in her presence again. I also love my sister being around them because she was born about 4 months after we lost Granny. She has no idea on what she missed out on.
