My God, my God, how He has stayed with me.

Now that y'all have choked down all those other posts, here's something to wash it down with.

Ok, so I have recently been reading my oldest posts up to my newest and.....it's amazing to read about yourself over a whole year.....
please take a moment and look back at it with me if you will......

over the course of a year (just one year, can you believe it???) I have:

Sept. 2008
1) broken up with 1st gf

Oct.
2) been uplifted by a great many spiritual gatherings

Nov.
3) met another girl and soon began dating
4) turned 20 (who would have thought what would happen next?)

Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May. 2009
5) learned of my serious illness(es)
6) withdrew from all classes after only a week
7) done my time in the hospital/recovery
8) went to Oklahoma to see granny that HAD breast cancer for the 2nd time (btw, survived with a clean getaway, I'm sure though now she can't get breast cancer again, lol, she jokes about it) and saw such beautiful snow, a shame I was just starting recovery so I could not enjoy it very long outside (however I have a video that mom took of Laci and I pelting each other with snowballs....and I slipped and fell TWICE in the snow, lol)

June
9) 2nd gf broke up with me after a long, dragged out silence, with hardly any communication about anything on her part. I hate to have gone though so much with her just to find out things the hard way. There is evidence that suggests there was someone else, maybe not then, but happened not too long after, It would be very sad to know that. That wasn't part of the reasons she gave me. I may never know.....in fact, I don't even care what it is or was anymore. I just don't care.
10) Began my journey to heal my broken heart and soul and physical aspects after a whole 6 1/2 mo.
11) Went to an amazingly uplifiting lecure/singing at the Southside lectures

July
11) If memory serves correct, a good friend "gradiated" that month, so many memories flooded through my mind then.
12) went to a really, really great time with the brethren in the Silsbee/Woodville area and went tubing, swimming, whatever, lol
13) started a summer school class (that was pure lameism in all forms...zzzzzz)

August
14) Laci turned 17 (I learned how weak I was physically that day with a short session on a DDR machine)
15) went to yet another amazingly uplifting singing in Kleinwood, saw a couple of friends there (Brandon and Logan) and some great friends from our congregation came too, and also saw our former preacher and his family, the Gibsons!
16) started school at Brazosport College

And now ladies and gentlemen: September 2009:
17) Laci and Joseph have been together for a whole year (Laci only knows too well the strong bond they share, and she better not do anything that my last 2 gfs have done, or she will definitely hear from me)
18) I made a really great friend, she really seems to be the real deal so far in terms of the spiritual and character aspects, it really makes me happy to say that, and it makes me happy to also know she had been positively influenced by my posts I made in the hospital, and now has taken steps to strengthen her spiritual life, bless her in her efforts! She is probably one of the best friends I have right now.
19) I am riding the storm that is Calculus, and so far haven't set my book or the classroom or the instructor on fire.

20) I am laying here at home finishing up this post, breathing a sigh as I finish reflecting on the things of the past, both the good and bad, how time just flew, and I feel so much different. It's an incredible feeling, for me. I invite you to read my older posts if you want, or even better, you re-read your own old posts dating back a year, and see what kind of feeling it leaves you with......I simply have a loss of words, it's just that incredible for me, which concludes this post. Many thanks to those who read this and think back about their own time gone past, I think it's a good and healthy thing for us to do when we sometimes happen to forget about what life is about.


My God, my God, He has stayed with me.


Love you all,
Paul
