I have diarrhea! Just kidding!!!
Some people are just full of surprises! You might think you know a person really well--know their personality, their background, the stories behind their scars, their favorites, their dreams, their passion--until that one very moment in which you find out that you actually don't know who that person is. The silliness, the friendship, the bond, the connection...all gone within 20 minutes. Everything can change in 20 minutes, well actually, everything can change in a single minute or second for all I know.
"Holy crap! I would never have thought..." "No freakin' way..." "You have got to be kidding me!"
You think. You question. You know. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
The person you once knew for quite some time is now just "one of them."

Just leave it up to God.
In my 09/16/09 blog, I talked about my papa and his current job situation. For the past couple of months, my papa completed a number of tests and was actually able to re-take the typing test as many times as he would like. His scores ranged....29wpm...25...27..29...24, but didn't seem to hit that 30wmp mark. Using programs and practicing on his own everyday was not enough.
For about almost a year, my mom noticed that my papa would not go up for communion every Sunday during mass. Each week she questioned him and urged him to receive the Host, but he wouldn't. After my papa failed his last typing test, my mom expressed the importance of not just having God in your life, but LETTING Him in your life. She told my papa that it is clearly up to God to help him through this stressful time. That Sunday, my papa finally received the Body of Christ.
Monday came and my papa decided to take the test. He passed, typing 34wpm. Before the year ended, he had first dibs on higher job positions or choosing to keep his current position now.
Just when you think you have done everything you could, you probably haven't. Let Him in your life permanently--not just in times of need. Recognize that He is the only one you can turn to 24 hours a day...365 days a year...for eternity. Feel His power, comfort, and love. Accept and embrace.
