June 22, 2011 - Day 38

"If someone says, 'I love God.' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen." - I John 4:20

"If we accept that the monsters are there, we can let them out and learn to tame them. That is growth toward liberation." - With Justice for All

"Reconciliation is a unity of heart, mind and purpose." -With Justice for All

     Do you ever have those days? Those days where you start out feeling not so great and as the days progresses you keep feeling not so great? Today was that day for me. We got together in the morning and had daily prayer. I was feeling pretty tired because I did my daily exercise but for some reason I still felt "off". I was hoping to feel better, but I didn't. I actually took a nap and felt even worse. The rest of the interns were gonna do a Parish Walk and I seriously didn't want to go- I even told Hana and Lauren I was planning on sleeping in. Eh. But for some reason I decided to give it a shot because I remembered the last time I felt this way God really worked in mysterious ways. You know what the funny thing is- He never disappoints :)
     We went to the top of the Lot. We got to talk to Will, Mike, Holiday and a few other guys who really made my day better. I asked Will about Josh and he actually said he saw him yesterday and that he's been looking better! We ended up staying there for about an hour and a half just talking and hanging out with the guys. Fredericka (who is actually called Tonette) had a [semi] conversation with her. Hana got to watch her stuff and Tonette told me that she got a stuffed animal tiger for "her man". Even though the conversations I had that day were very causal, they still made my day. I felt like the guys genuinely cared about what I had to say and I cared about them.
