Prayer request

So much going on, so many thoughts running through my head! I have a good friend who is in the hospital with meningitis. She has small boys at home, and really needs our prayers. She is an amazing person, who I admire and respect a great deal! She has had a bad week before all this, and now in the hospital and really needs a break! Sometimes its tough to understand why bad things happen to good people, but I think we all come out stronger from our trials, and we just need to remember ,we are not alone,God is always with us!

 Then someone else close to me has also been going through some rough times, He has made some bad decisions in the past, but hes headed back on the right track. Lately, he has made some tough decisions, and I know there are more to come for him, but he is headed in the right direction..I am very proud of how he has faced his issues and are working on them. I can only imagine how hard it is,but I am blessed we could talk it over. 

Its funny really, we ALL make mistakes,bad decisions we later look back on and say "what was I thinking?" We all go through trials, some of them harder to face than others, but its through these times  I think we learn the most,grow the most, and realize we just cannot handle everything on our own! If our lives were easy and smooth all the time, how strong would we REALLY be, how would we learn the lessons we need to learn, to become the people we were meant to be? I have to remind myself of that a lot!

 On a happier note, I am getting a sub for my route at work! Its been 2 years , and I cannot wait! He is officially starting on May 4th and I am really looking forward to long week-ends camping,working in the yard and garden and maybe a beach trip or two! I will have Saturdays and Sundays off, so once again I can say..TGIF!!Have a great week-end all , and please say a prayer for my friend!
