Random Jibberish and other Great Things
What a boring day! This is terrible! Yesterday was so great! Then, today came! What happened?!
This is seriously ridiculous. I am sitting here at my desk, resting my chin upon a bottle of Diet Coke, trying to think of ANYTHING that I can do…
My brother spent the night at a birthday party last night, and I really wish he would come home so that we can go ride our bikes or go to see a movie or just irritate each other without limits. Can you tell I miss that kid? Well, you’re right, because I totally do.
My parents have gone to teach their dog obedience class. My family own their own business, and a lot of the time, I am called upon to be “employee,” even when I never offered to get hired. I think it’s that way for a lot of kids my age with parents who own a business. And sometimes, we don’t get paid because we’re their children–they pay for everything else in our lives, why should they have to pay us for working for them, right? I dunno whether that’s right or not, but most of the time, I wish I got paid! I’m not resentful to my parents, though, not in the least measurement. I love my parents because they trust me and they let me stay out really late and they DO pay for a lot of the things I do.
Speaking of things I’ve done! I need to mention that, finally, after years of battling it out with God, I’ve committed to sponsoring a child from Compassion International! His name is Karanganwa and he is 11 years old. He lives in Africa in the country Rwanda. When I went to the website to seek out a kid, I didn’t know exactly how I was going to choose. I didn’t really know if I wanted a boy or a girl, how old I wanted them to be, or where they should be from. So, as I saw all the pictures, I just thought to myself, Adopt them all! They’re all so beautiful! But of course, I knew I couldn’t, so I finally asked for God’s divine intervention on my choice! And He did it! He found him! I saw his picture, and I saw his smile, and then, when I saw where he was from, I knew! Last quarter, in my Political Science 101 class, we did this mass research on Rwanda and all the sufferings that occurred there throughout the 1990s! It was devestating! So, when I saw that he was from Rwanda and that he doesn’t have a father anymore, (likely one of the many, many, many men slaughtered during their civil war), I signed up to sponsor him! I am so excited to receive my Compassion packet! I want to write him letters and send him pictures and ask him questions and tell him how beautiful he is! I am so excited about him, I’ve been telling everyone about him!
So, yeah, I am still really bored, but for a moment there, I was really entertained! Whenever I think of Karanganwa, my heart kinda jumps because I’m already beginning to love him so much. I think that’s a Jesus thing because I know that I can do NOTHING without Christ and that includes the ability to love somebody else. I’m really happy that I’m going to be a part of his life.
