Handle Life With Prayer

The dad of a really, really close friend of mine died today. Needless to say, I cried with my friend. I felt empathy, pain, and happiness at knowing the plan of salvation. I remembered the trials I've gone through the past while, and while they were hard, I didn't have to endure the pain of death of something I'm close to. I don't know what I would've done. But man......this is tough stuff.

I'm praying for this friend. I wish I could give my friend a hug. A big, big hug. One that is full of Christ's love. I know that I will come across more sad events like this, of my own and others. And you know what? I'll pray. I love being able to pray to my Father in Heaven. He is so good to me. =]

About time, eh?

I haven't written a new post in quite some time. It's about time, right? Right. So here I am to ramble on about what I've been doing.

I recently took the SAT. I studied a lot, and I felt pretty good while I was there. I certainly hope my scores are good. It'll let me know what else I need to study before I take the ACT in the fall. That's what I'll need to take to apply to BYU, my dream school. School's feeling pretty good.

My feet have been giving me some problems, so mom took me to a pediatrist. Guess what? I was born with deformed feet. My bones don't match up right, and something is going wrong, and I need to get orthopedics so that I can correct it as much as possible. I feel like I'm becoming lame because of my sport. I'm not willing to give it up, though. I'll just work through the pain, and hope that it's lessened by my shoe inserts.

I have been absolutely enjoying my spring break. =] The weather here is absolutely lovely. I had a party last night with some friends from my ward, and we went to Wal*Mart and played a game where we split into two teams, and we had 10 minutes to get 10 things for the other team to put away in 10 minutes. It was pretty much awesome. I had some great laughs, and I can't wait until the next time I can have a party just for kicks and giggles.

My birthday is in 35 days. =D

I am reading the Harry Potter books again, just for fun. I love them. They're super good. =]

Uhh...what else? What else..... I'm feeling more comfortable in my own skin every day, it seems. I like that.

OH! So get this! I have a lady in YW's that knows a family that really wants their son to go to his high school prom, but he's too shy to ask somebody or something like that, and Sis Tuck (the lady in YW's) asked me if I would go with him. I talked about it with my parents, and they said I could go. =D I'm excited. I'll get to go to prom without being in a high school. I feel like I'm cheating the system. XD I'll meet the guy I'm going with before we go to prom. I'm sure we'll get along great. I'm looking forward to it.

I guess that's all for now. Hope you enjoying reading my thoughts!
