Alvin and the Chipmunks...

So I posted in honor of getting my wisdom teeth out and let's be honest, the Chipmunks freakin' rock.
No, I'm not anywhere special unless you count the indentation I have made on the couch. However, this is a general life step that most people end up having to take. And it's not as fun as I was anticipating. Haha. I mean it's funny at times-like when I'm sitting with my socks tied over my head with frozen peas in them. But definitely not at other times-like throwing up more in the past 24 hours than ever. It's only been twice, but still. I hardly ever throw up. I guess it's the mix of medication and not being able to eat much, having a fever, being in pain. I don't know. I'm not trying to scare those of you who haven't gotten it done, but it does suck. You can still be strong through it though. It's kind of a roller coaster ride of feeling good and then feeling disgusting. And even when I feel good, the vicadin makes me a little out of it.
It's good to know that this is temporary. It's especially good to know that by the time I'm fully recovered I'll be going into prom day. And life is going to feel grand. =]
It's upsetting to me to be going through this and being such a "wimp" when a lot of people all over the world suffer this much day in and day out until they die. That's a really sad/morbid thought. But, I really want to work to help people like that as I live my life of "privelege". Finding out HOW I'm gonna do that is the hard part. I know I need to listen to God's call and if I'm constantly attentive to Him, he will show me. But I just wanted to say that I don't think that this is just a call in my life. This is something God has called each and every one of us to. To help the weak and poor, the suffering and sad. And that doesn't mean each of us have to become doctors and travel all over the place...not at all. I'm beginning to learn that God uses me where I am to do His will. And he'll do that for you too. It can be simply smiling at someone in the halls at school.
Just something to think about...
