Day 25: Wow. Today.

Well, today has been interesting. I had to cover a shift for a girl at work, which turned out to be a hundred small blessings camouflaged with SUCK, because I hate my job at had to wake up at 7, but the first half of my shift passed by pretty quickly, I got to watch the sunrise and go to a bagel shop that always closes early, and most of the breakfast orders (I never do breakfast so when the orders got tricky today I freaked out a bit) turned out to be really easy ones.
And I started having quite a bad day and feeling really bad about myself and kind of neglected and unloved and it seems lately that I've been really easily forgotten about by a lot of people. (I know, I know. But we all go through things like that now and again.) Anyways, I went to youth group with my cousin, and they spoke about that during worship. I felt like they were talking directly to me, and it was something I really needed to hear. I actually started crying right there, in the room full of people, in the middle of worship. But it made me feel better.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Which brings me to another point. As probably everyone who actually reads my blog already knows, Nerdfighteria lost someone today. Esther Earl, a young girl who I didn't personally know, but knew of, died early this morning. She's had cancer for about four years, but I guess it finally got the best of her. (I don't really know many details.) I'm not going to pretend that I knew her well; I'd never even talked to her. But from what I did know of her, and what I've seen in videos, and what I've heard from countless others, she was a kind, sweet, brave, and generally awesome person. Lots of people (me included) were praying last night when she ended up in the ICU that she would make it out safely. Sadly for us, she did not. But I'd venture to guess that she's really happy where she is now, much happier than she could possibly be on earth, and she's not suffering anymore. So at least there's a bit of a blessing in the sadness of it all. I know Nerdfighteria will miss her and never forget her. Alabanza, Esther.
