The Past Few Days

So I haven't been on here in a few days....
Well, I haven't done anything rather spectacular. I did work Wednesday. I have to say I really love my job! I love working with the kids =]They are amazing and it makes me feel good that I can help the kids to learn something.
I've had kind of a difficult week. My friend Courtney was feeling really down about herself and I tried cheering her up. To quote one of my dad's sermon's "You are a dearly loved, created, redeemed child of God." We all need to remember this. Especially when we are feeling down about ourselves. Society expects all of us girls to look perfect all the time. But they need to be snapped back to reality. Not everyone is skinny, has the perfect skin, and so on. Real beauty is when you can look in the mirror and not see what society see's as something bad. Your family and friends love you just the way you are. Even if you are over weight. So what? You are you for a reason. God doesn't make mistakes.
God also doesn't give us more than we can handle. I have been struggling with this lately. It seems like everything is out to get me and bring me down. This morning my best friend Jon decided to be rather... mean. Jealousy never looks good on anyone, and it hurts those closest to you. Needless to say, I am rather hurt today. He is one of the people closest to me and I don't like when this happens. It about breaks my heart every time he does this.
On a good note, My niece Jezzamine was born finally on Wednesday morning! I'm so glad she is here. Even if I can't spoil her as much as I would like to. She is beautiful and makes me want to fly out and see her right now. Sadly I will have to wait until this summer, or whenever my family goes back to Michigan.
My writer's block has ceased to keep me from having ideas! I have been working on one of my stories and thinking about what I can do with some of the others. It has been almost a year since I have worked on any of my stories. So this sudden burst of inspiration is out of nowhere! I'm not complaining about it. Maybe I will finish one of my stories! Who knows...
