God's Grace

So, it's time to point some glory to heaven, guys and gals! God put me through some trials, just as was promised, but I gave it up to him, and most of it is sorted out. At least, the parts that I gave up to him. It really is a lesson to me that God is the one doing it all.

But, right now, life is good to me since I've realized (yet again) that I need His help. I am not sure if I mentioned it (and am too tired to look now), but I had to put my car in the shop for a while. Only a day, but still. But, it's all sorted out now, and Jasmine is her name. She's been treating me so well this past week, I'm so happy. *hugs life* Makes getting around so much easier.

A lot has happened that is good though. Sonic has new flavors, meaning I can get an apple limeade now (very good, by the way). I'm getting more hours at work (six days a week, and thirty two hours). Thomas is getting a truck (or was gonna get it yesterday (gosh, I need to call him…)). Eric is coming back. Oh yeah, I think I forgot to mention that Eric was gone… Well, Eric was gone. But now he is coming back, and that makes me happy. Robby is going out to pick him up tomorrow at six or so.

And, in addition to all that, I've had really late nights recently. Which, is not bad, at all. Last night, Sarah, Jamie (I think that's how you spell his name…), Chris, and I all went out to play cards. We stayed at Waffle-House and played until three something in the morning. Spades, of course. Chris and I won. And tonight, we went and played again when I got off of work. Minus Chris, plus Warren. I introduced the three others to a different game I used to play, called kent, but I'm not sure how well it went over. I think they might have liked it better if they had been more awake. But, after a few rounds of that, we went back to spades. Jamie and I, versus Warren and Sarah. They lost. But it was a very intense game, with two close encounters of Jamie and I losing, but pulling it back. And then winning from behind, when they thought they were safe and had at least two more hands. We played until six in the morning, and gosh it was fun.

And, on a semi-final note, I had thought that Sarah had been avoiding me, since I had asked her into a relationship and she had said no. But, as evinced by the past two nights, she wasn't, and I'm just weird for thinking that.

I feel like there's more. But, right now I need sleep. I mean, come on, I just played spades and drank coffee until six in the morning. So, farewell and good night.
