Well, I woke up this morning with the flu/cold (whatever you want to call it). I had a bad headache, stomachache, sore throat, and everything all at once. At the moment I feel better, so I decided to check email and stuff.
Mom also got it and is asleep on the couch, like I have been doing all day until now.
Nivek is getting better (figures) and is playing PS2.
I have been taking tons of vitamins and stuff trying to fight this thing by tomorrow, because I have class and I can't say I want to miss since I am already going to miss next Tuesday anyway (going on a trip). We had to cancel my piano and voice lessons, which I was not happy about (have to miss that next week too).
Anyway, my stomach is starting to hurt again, so I better go :(
Please pray that we all get well soon (by tomorrow).
Bye!
P.S. Sorry about the bad grammar and stuff... my brain is going crazy.

Prayer request
Please pray for Nivek to get over his cold/flu. And please pray for me not to get it any worse than I already do, but to get better. And for my parents not to get it.
We have a skiing trip planned, and my g-parents are coming. If we don't get over it, this could be bad...

"For You" lyrics
This is a really cool song, about friends I guess. It is by Michael W. Smith...
Sittin' in the rain
Water on your brain
Got a hole in your boat
Trying to stay afloat
Has got you down
Ive got a wind in my sail
Rubber boots and a pail
Ill throw you a line
Rest assured that I
Won't ever let you drown
Cause when you're up against the wall
You know I'll be here for you, for you
When you rise and when you fall
I'll always be here for you, for you
When the plans you make
Fall through and take you
For a loop
Or some bird has flown the coop
And left you stranded
Just lean on me
And together you see
Well carry the load
Even if we dont
Quite understand it
Cause when you're up against the wall
You know I'll be here for you, for you
When you rise and when you fall
I'll always be here for you, for you
Cause when you're up against the wall
You know I'll be here for you, for you
When you rise and when you fall
I'll always be here for you, for you
I just wanted to share this to my friends...this is my promise to you. I will always try to be there for you. But always remember that God will ALWAYS be there for you.

I have no idea why...
Okay, like the title says, I have no idea why I am posting this, but I guess God is telling me too.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7
I saw this verse sometime in 2006, and have loved it ever since. It is pretty cool when you are feeling anxious about something, and then you ask God to give you a verse, and this one pops into your head.

The Universe!
By Zoe
Have you ever thought about just how enormous the Universe is? Think about how huge the Earth seems to us- so huge that it can take days to travel in a car just across our country alone! Even in an airplane it can still take hours!
Now, take a look at the size difference between the earth and Jupiter- one thousand times the size! Wow! What a difference!
And you just thought Jupiter was huge! Look again!
The sun is massive- about 880,000 miles in diameter. It is about 1,000 times larger than Jupiter, and 1 Million times the size of Earth! If that is just the sun, how big do you think the Solar System alone is? Pretty big huh? I’d say! It just so happens to be just a tiny spec in comparison to the whole Milky Way galaxy! Imagine how big the Milky Way must be!
From what Astronomers have observed, there are about 100 Billion galaxies in the Universe; and they are nowhere close to seeing the whole Universe to the very end. According to the Bible they never will; Jeremiah 31:37 says, “This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the LORD.” Since God will never abandon Israel, astronomers will never see the end of the Universe.
Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
Do you see how massive the Universe is? How great God is to have created something to incredible and amazing! How small us humans are in comparison, yet God still cares about every single one of us and hears every prayer. He loves us so much…more than we can possibly imagine. He sent his only son to die to save us! That is how great His love for us is!
God is so amazing and powerful; nothing is too big or too difficult for God to handle. If you need help, ask God and trust him. He has a plan for you, and no matter what, if you trust him, everything will be okay.
Jeremiah 31:35
This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is his name.
