My visit to Tampa

Last week was a very sad week for me, so my girlfriend decide to get me out of the house. She likes to drive so we rode to Tampa. This is one of her favorite cities in Florida.  We drove down the coast and viewed the body of water in Clearwater. Then we remembered that we had tickets to go to the Tampa Aquarium. We have brought tickets about a month ago and forgot we had them. She likes the alligators and the sharks. Me, well I just enjoyed the many types of colorful fish. There were so many types and different colors. We saw a live show of stingrays, where you could touch them. We did a live show with the birds also. Also there were horseshoe crabs that we could touch.

Doing feeding time we watch the employees put the food out and watch the animals go for it. There were monkeys there also. All the animals knew when the food was about to be given out, because the fish where swimming near the top to get the food first. Watching the alligators get fed was so interesting. The gators kept coming  towards the lady and the other guy had to take a stick and push the gators back. This stick kept the gators  mouth closed.


Well this helped me to relax some, so I was glad she took me out of the house.

God don't make mistakes

Well it has been a week since that sweet little girl has gone back to be with the Lord. There has been many tears and pain, but that won't bring her back to us. We have to remember all the good things that she shared in so many peoples' lives. Right now she is a angel looking down on us. Saying don't cry for me, because I'm free. I will always be in your hearts. Think of me and smile at the funny things that I use to do. Keep me in your heart, and always remember me.

Life is always a learning process. We don't always see what God has for us, but it doesn't matter because he is still in charge of our daily lives. He is the one that determines if we wake up every morning. So I thank him and know that no matter what we might go thru, he is always with us. He is my comfort and my peace, when needed. So many times we have to cry out to him, but he doesn't care. Just know that storms may come over and over and over, but the sun will shine again.


I would have loved to go home to be with my friends but they know I'm with them in prayers and my heart. I will continue to call and just check in with my friends, in their time of need. They are like family to me, so any time of night or day, they know it is alright to call me. Because that's is what true family do for each other.

When people you love hurts.

There is a person whom is dearly to my heart is not doing well. His problem is his real heart. He is now waiting on a heart transplant. I am so sorry that he waited this long to tell me. I pray that he gets moved up the chart to receive one. One of the good things is that his blood type matches everyone. He is in a very good hospital. John Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland is one of the best hospitals on the East coast. He is from another country so it is hard for him to understand the ways the doctors tell him to live. For instance like don't drink a lot of water. Well he thought water was good for you.


 Water is what really sent him to the hospital. His lungs was so full of water, that he passed out. People think that when it is hot outside to hydrate yourself. Yes, if you are not retaining the water. So he drank, and drank, and drank until he passed out. Congested heart failure can take you away from here. He is a person that stays in the emergency room. So this time they knew it was more than his pacemaker being off track. He makes his weekly visit, but this time he knew more was wrong.


People sometimes cry wolf, but I know for sure he will do what ever the doctor tell him to do for now on. Life is nothing to play with. People need to really listen to there bodies. 

Churching

Sunday service was so exciting. We were in praise mode the whole service. Thanking God for what he has already done for us, and what he is going to do for us. We sang a old song about God is always on my side. It does matter where you are is he always there with you.


We broke out in dance to the music and praises, that we were giving God. When ever the Pastor started to preach, people were still praising God. So we sang so more and gave God the praise for who he is. Tears started flowing from peoples eyes and before you known it the whole church was crying. So the ushers were going around passing out tissue. As the music continue to play people kept singing and the Pastor continue to wait for a quiet time to open up.

This made the people praise and sing even more. Time was passing and before we knew it a hour had passed and the people was caught up in the spirit and couldn't stop. They tried stopping the music, but that didn't  stop the spirit.  we had to close out church with prayer, because the people wouldn't or couldn't stop thanks God for being there for them.
