What's going on in my world?

So here are some updates

I have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. At first, I was awful. Like I mean I went and saw a psychiatrist awful. COMPLETELY depressed. Truly, I couldn't get much lower than that. But it's gotten much much better. I have the most amazing family in the entire world, incredible friends, and I have the sweetest boyfriend ever. =)
So here's the most important thing about Type 2: It's curable and preventable, so it's all going to be okay. If you had asked me 2 weeks ago what I thought about diabetes I would've broke down into hysterics. So believe me when I say I've done a complete 180 about it all. I lose some weight, exercise more, eat better, and the symptoms will go away. In just 2 or 3 weeks, I've lost 5 lbs. =D So I'm actually excited about it! Is that weird? Hahaha yeah. My mom is probably reading this right now and saying "Alright, fine. I'm printing this out and showing her what she wrote next time she freaks out on me." Lol I love you!!!
I'm going to be ok.  <3

I have a friend who isn't a Christian to my understanding. I had been inviting this person to church for over a year until one day I just gave up. We got into an argument and I used that as an excuse to "never speak to this person ever again" This argument was at the end of my 9th grade year. 10th grade rolls around, and I say hello in the hallways every now and then. Nothing major. Still friend on FaceBook, but no biggie.
Well this person starts posting some pretty scary things as his or her facebook statuses So I start to pray for the person. (From here on the person will be referred to as Hermin...I don't know anyone named Hermin.) For 2 or 3 weeks I prayed for Hermin. Still have no idea what's going on.
Now get this: Hermin calls me randomly on Monday evenning. Hermin asks me if he could catch a ride to our youth service next Wed. night! I am soooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!! Prayer is amazing. mind-blowing amazing.

So it's been quite an adventure these past fewweeks! God has thrown me some curve balls I definitely was NOT expecting. Some are ones that were very very scary, and some of them were wonderful surprises! He's taken care of me and I know He will continue to do so! <3
