Take Your Own Advice!

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm okay. 

I made it home for break, and I am sick. I was worn down by the stress of the last week and the extra time and work that parent teacher conferences took.

My parents had to go out of town today, and I was sleeping on the couch. My phone rang. It was my sister, I couldn't understand her but she was sobbing. She just turned 16. I came to find out she was in a car accident. 

Though I wasn't really up to it, I put my shoes on and sped to where she was, about 12 miles away. She told me she was fine, but I can't tell you how scary that was. It's so hard to get a call like that... "There's been an accident, come right away..." Especially me having to make the decisions about car towing, etc.  I had to sort of play the parent role. 

I'm still really shook up.

Meanwhile, I forgot my evening medications at school... So, that, and my major head-cold have made sleeping next-to-impossible. And it's made me a little bit sicker because I'm not managing very well without those pills. I'll be back on them again tomorrow. 

While I was taking my sister back home, I said, "I hope you do a lot of talking to God about this."

And then just a bit ago, I was thinking, sitting, in a coughing spell. And it sort of hit me, "Why don't you take your own advice!"

So I've been talking to God. I'm still not feeling up to par and I have to drive tomorrow, and play in church, but it just seems like everything is going to be okay.
