Worms, Why Worms?
Yuck yuck yuck! For science today I'm learning about the wonderful world of parasitic worms. Oh yay. (Sarcasm) I hope there aren't many pictures of actual worms. I WILL cover such pictures if they are there.
Well, that's my quick blurb.
Toodaloo!

In Times of Trouble
We all agree that times of trouble are nearly all the time. Some times seem worse and some times seem almost nice. Some days rock between both extremes.
My best friend is going crazy. She hears a voice in her head telling her to die. She's tried going for help, but no one is listening to her. She's had similar problems before. If this isn't a time of trouble, I'd hate to see a real time of trouble.
I've been praying for her ever since Saturday, when she told me. I have been feeling sick, wondering if she's going to kill herself that day or not. I've been praying all the time.
But I've realized someting.
God loves her much more than I ever could.
God cares for her many times more than I do.
God knows her much better than I ever had.
And that gives me peace. He knows my friend, and He knows what words might give her comfort. And I've been asking Him what on earth I say to her to try to help her. And it suddenly struck me that in these crazy times when it seems nothing is right, that's when I'm closest to God.
Because I'm relying on Him completely.
Because I can feel Him there supporting me, lifting me.
I read Psalm 23 about ten times today. I memorized the first two lines in sign language. Saying and signing it helps me feel His peace. I know that my friend is in His hands and He will never ever let her go. She is safe. But it is still scary. And freaky. And strange. I don't want to lose her and it's hard to completely trust God to take care of her. I want to do anything to help her, but the only one who can really help her now is God. And it's hard to let Him do that. I want to do something. I hate sitting by and watching. But if God wants to, He'll use me to help her. All I can do right now is just be there for my friend during this. And pray. 'Pray without ceasing.' A command from the scripture. And I intend to do so.
In times of trouble, God is constant and He is always ready to help when we ask.
