He reached down from heaven and rescued me. He drew me out of deep waters. (Psalm 18:16)

The chemo she’s on was to just keep the tumours from growing, not to make them shrink. I’m crying tears of joy. Please keep praying for her.
EeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE! You guys! You guys! YOU GUYS!
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.

You cant make a good sword without surrendering it to the fire for a time. Makes it changeable, ready for the hammer to craft it into shape. The end result, when done by a master forger like God, is a breathtaking tool of beauty. Yet that sword had to go through hell to get there.

Brostafas, I finally got around to making a youtube channel, and you should check it out here.
Meet Omari. Two days ago he returned from the hospital after being hacked in the face by a machete defending an orphanage of 35 children by himself.
This man dedicates his life to take care of 35 orphaned children from the ages of 2-17 in Kenya. A couple of days ago a group of thugs raided the orphanage to pilage anything they could find, after beating and slashing Omari’s face for defending the children and himself from a previous attempted attack.
The only thing the children are living off of right now are things growing from their small garden, and eggs from a couple of chickens in their coup. Reddit looked to aim to raise $2,000 a couple of hours ago to help build a concrete wall around the orphanage with a 3 layered barbed-wire coil set on top.
In 3 hours, over $11,000 has been donated - and all the extra money is going to feeding them, giving them an education, keeping these children (and many more) safe, and building a new facility.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
James 1:2-7
This is, admittedly, not at all the best I could do. But I can’t be bothered with redoing it, so here, folks is Sweet Song. Or is it Sweet Sweet Song? I suppose that’s my choice.
Little awesome things:
Knowing that some things say the same, when asked, “Can I rant to you about Sherlock now?”
The realization that people are usually willing to offer grace and compassion makes it easier to come to the conclusion that God offers such things.
Even though I don’t date and am not frequently faced with situations involving sex, having the pregnancy care center people come to youth tonight was really solid, because there was a lot of focus on commitment. And one can’t invest completely and totally in everyone they know, but I feel like it was such a refresher to be reminded to be patient with and offer grace to those I have chosen to invest in. Because I want to commit to them, be they friends, family, or, above all, God. Except he doesn’t need grace, but you get the idea. At the end of the day, these are people who are constantly extending grace to me, and being patient with me, and I owe it to them to give that in return, and giving that in return is what leads to solid friendships and familyships and Godships. Those are not all real words.
