whew......its been a while since the last blog, things have been a hundred miles an hour.
lets recap!
Shift was freakin great, got a backpack full of notes, a head full of inspiration, and and a heartfull of some intimate and personal rest with my creator. (in a nutshell, a wonderful experience)
Got home and work has been crazy, meeting and festivals and all the crazy stuff to pump up a business(as if a 9ft, walks on two legs, cow wont do it)
on friday i got news that my grandmother hasn't been doing well, she has been in and out of the hospital and things aren't getting better so saturday after i got off of work we drove straight to Charlotte and got into the hotel around midnight. Next morning work up and had to take my Brother to the pool since it was closed when we got to the hotel, so i got to wake up at 730 and took him, ha. after about 15 min in the pool and a quick breakfast we were off to the hospital. my Grandmother was swollen, she was looking better than it had been though. she looked peaceful. i get really queezy and stuff inside hospitals so i had to take a walk a few times, but as i would walk around i thought, hospitals are crazy. this is real and this people and suffering and hurting and just want people there to love on them.
as i walked back into the room and had a seat my grandma had just woke up and she was just gazing around the room with a huge grin and my aunt who was there with us said, "she's smiling now, all she wanted was to see all the grandchildren" when she said that i got this crazy feeling of, wow...did it really make that big of a difference, and then i thought how awesome is it that just the simple presence of someone you love and hold dear will just lift you and make you feel like nothing in the world can stop you from being happy. It hit me then, why shouldn't everyone feel like this. Are there that many people with hearts so harden that they cant simply show up and be some one to love on a brother or sister or even a stranger. I think about my self when i say this, not to make me seem like a super human, but because i am absolutely terrified of hospitals, and if all i have to do to bring the love God has called me give is just show up, then how can we all not show up to places he calls us to be His love.
i hope it doesnt take me this long to post again, and i didnt plan on writing this much either so thanks for hanging in there with me:)
Prayer requests,
My grandmother, Betty Seay

and this shake i know that is about to happen in this community and all over this generation
God Bless,
