I love how God works through people and with people when we end up needing it most. And how that can happen in the most random ways without even realizing it.

It all started at lunch today. DT said something about ppl going to his apt tonite for video games and I asked if I could come. Even though he said sure whatever I could tell it was “guys night only.” Call it womanly intuition or whatever-but I could tell. So I figured that with it being “guys night only” that it meant that what used to be more than 1/2 my friends were going to be out of the loop to hang with tonite. But whatever. Lucky for me, I’ve started getting to know different “cliques” if you will in xa and have started hanging out more with other people as well. Kudos for me right? Well, I facebooked Dusty about going to see something tonight at the $1.50 which we had talked about doing a few days ago, and since I knew I’d be bored out of my mind tonight I just decided to why not and see if we could make it work. She said that she randomly decided to go on facebook right before leaving for work (which she doesnt do) and saw that and totally got excited so as you know there went the plans. Since she had to go to work, I ended up making some phone calls and some aims to different people about it, even inviting the video game boys (but they ignored my aim as i soon saw) and yea for movies!

Well, I ended up aiming T, thats gonna be his name for this entry, and he thought about someone else I should invite. So I gave her a call only to find her at the verge of tears as she hobbled home early from a night class because everything in the past few days has gone wrong and the upcoming ones didn’t look any better, along with falling and hurting her knee today. So I made her stay were she was and I drove out and got her. There was no way I was letting her try and make it home; absolutely no freakin way. So I picked her up, and we ended up coming back to the house and talking about whats going on in her life and spring break and how we were both little terrors as little kids (LOL). It was good bonding time. In retrospect, I just realized how God uses random things to bring people into our lives. If I had ended up going with the guys, then T would have never brought her into my mind to invite to the movies because we wouldn’t have gone to the movies. I mean, its sad to say, but my mind didnt even register to invite her when I was letting people know about that. And I totally know what its like to be overlooked because trust me, I have definetely been overlooked in a lot of things in my life and I hate it when I am. But I’m also only human, and its not like I can call every single person in xa that I’m friends with and invite them ya know? Still though, I feel bad that she didn’t even pop into my mind to invite until T asked if I had or not. So I totally love how God uses people, even in the most causual of situations like going to a movie, to be able to place us in people’s lives so that we can be there for them. Because she definetely needed a friend tonight. And even though she and I aren’t best friends, we still are friends, and so it was just really cool to see how God worked that all together tonight. Anyways, I think I’m going to check up on her as the weekend comes closer and as it progresses by…just to make sure that she is hanging in there.

But yea, we saw Charlie Wilson’s War. It was pretty good. The end quote in the movie is hilarious! Oh man did it make us all laugh. There was too much nudity in it to make me fully like it, and waay too many f-bombs. But it was a good portrayal of the true story of Charlie Wilson and the war that was going on in the late 80’s. I ended up getting six of us to go see it, which isn’t bad for an impromtu thing.

but i really should be sleeping now since i do have an 8:30 class come a few hours. nite yo.
