| So I was wondering today... will we go to the bathroom in heaven?
This is a legitimate question that goes beyond the sheer seemingly ridiculous presenting thought.
Going to the bathroom is not something I would say most people enjoy having to do...
And the feeling of needing to go to the bathroom is not what I would call pleasant...
BUT...
the reason we go to the bathroom is because we eat and drink... and eating and drinking are marvelous experiences... or at least should be!
So do we eat and drink and have the uncomfortable feeling of needing to go to the bathroom? But isn't there supposed to be no pain in heaven?
Do we eat and drink and the feeling of going to the bathroom is pleasant? But the thing is... if it's pleasant... why would we want to go through with going to the bathroom... perhaps going to the bathroom would also be pleasant... but if both are then why does it matter? Here if we withhold ourselves from going to the bathroom there are medical consequences... but there will be no illness in heaven... So we could withhold and there would be no consequence... no discomfort or sickness...
Do we not eat or drink in heaven... I have a real hard time swallowing that... (ha pun originally not intended)
So what is it??????? I realize that this issue does not really matter... but hey... it's something to think about. :)
I've somewhat come to a conclusion... not to say I'm right... but I want to see if anyone else has thoughts!

| Wow. I knew God was good... but Wow. I am moving out Sunday. Sunday! Not only that... but I have free housing. Free! AND... food is covered. I found out that there were some positions open at Northern Illinois University (where I'm getting my Masters) to be a community adviser... kind of between an RA and RD... I turned in my application on Wednesday. I got an interview later that day. I got offered the position before they were done interviewing all the candidates, on Thursday. I signed a contract today. !!! Those of you praying have seriously helped to change my life and heal my body. THANK YOU!
When I found out about all this I knew God was going to make it happen. I knew it. BUT... what I didn't know was that He would provide me with a really great floor! I will be living in the Health Professionals House on an academic community floor. That is where God threw in His "more than you can ask or imagine" stuff. More... much more... I can't wait to be a witness for Him!

| can i just say the response i've gotten from my brothers and sisters in Christ has been beyond encouraging and comforting
your concern, care, and prayers speak volumes to me and have given me hope and inspired me to keep trying to show love because i have experienced its power from you
unfortunately... it looks like the mother of the household is very upset with me for having her daughter take me to the train station... she said she didn't know... which i was not aware of...
anyway... she has avoided my texts and i am not sure what to expect when i get back
i was hoping this break would make things better... and now they are worse
i don't think i did anything wrong... but that won't matter to her
perception is more valid than reality in these situations
i need to figure something out... and the $ to move out is just not there for me...
i know God will provide me with what i need... i just feel like right now i need a plan... and i don't have one

| i never use this
except for right now
i am frustrated and i need to vent
i went to God... He knows... He is helping... He is healing
but i am weak... and i think i need to type this out
for over a year and a half now i have lived in homes where people don't really care about me
i can't count on coming home and letting people know how my day went and someone truly caring
they will listen... at least pretend to... but that's about it
the people i live with don't know how to support me emotionally or give me the words i need to hear
i'm not emotionally high maintenance... but when my grandma is suffering from parkinsons and my grandpa has just been diagnosed with bladder cancer and i have to mentally prepare to go get 8 vials of blood drawn... it would be nice to get a response that doesn't make me feel like i'm just being a wuss or weak
i've now suddenly learned how hard it is to live this way
i've now suddenly learned i am living this way
no wonder i feel sick to my stomach everyday
i'm being starved or fed rottenness...
