As of late, I have been quite busy, between school and taking care of the house and my gram. I am still hanging in there but am definitely happy that tomorrow is my last day of class. Then I only have to worry about three finals and then I will be free for the summer! I'm not too worried about my Spanish final or my Psych final...those will be easy. The chem final however....different story. Oh well. I will survive.
I think the thing that has been the hardest for me this past year is taking care of my gram. Don't get me wrong, I love taking care of her. That is how it should be. It just gives me a fuller plate to handle.
I would really appreciate if you all would pray for me and my gram. She was really sick in Jan and Feb and that really took alot out of her. She isn't bouncing back as well as everyone would like. She keeps getting dehydrated and on top of that, the only kidney she has, which is a transplant, is failing. Her doctor is trying to hold it off as long as possible but it looks like she will be back on dialysis by the end of the summer. It will make her feel better but it will add to my load alot. Please pray for me that I will remember to let God be my strength.
On a different note, I got a summer job! I am now working as a dishwasher in the restaurant part of a local golf course. Very ritzy. I should be able to get quite a few hours this summer so that will be good. I just hope I can keep up with all the dishes.
Something has been on my mind alot since my summer in Mexico. When I was there, I felt really disappointed and discouraged by some of the "Christians" that were working on base. There were so many people that were in a position where they could do sooo much good, they were in the midst of so many hurting people that they could have helped in major ways by the simplest of gestures on their part. The part that really hurt me was that none of them cared. They all had become so apathetic. I thought I was so much better that all of them because I cared about the hurting people and played with all the kids. A few weeks ago, I was reading my blog from the summer. I almost started crying because looking back, I could see that I was just as bad as everyone else if not worse. I have decided that it does no good to live with regrets, therefore, I am just gonna have to do better in the future.
Three days later.....
Yeah...so...I am really bad at actually finishing a blog on the same day that I start it.....
Today was my spanish final. Definitely finished that sucker in 35 minutes. HA!
Tonight I am going to work. Oh! I got a new job. I was working at a little cafe near my house but now I am working in the kitchen at The Turtle Back Golf Course. It pays more than my last job and I will get more hours for the summer. It is a lot more work but I think I should be just fine.
I have to go do some laundry so I am gonna end this thing with a bible verse.
Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceptive and Beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Dios Te Bendiga!! Abi
P.S. I am planning on staying in Wisconsin for most of the summer but I will be coming home for a bit in the end of June!
P.P.S Here is a picture of me with my gram to make you smile. :) Love you guys!
