Blast from the Past

[CathieJ7]

Well, last week I found this video online.  It's entitled "Sweep the Leg".  I was looking for some thing to do with Karate Kid.  This is hilliarious, if you like the movie you'll love the video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFlQNtL8F9s

Ok, enough of that.  Anyway, I was looking for Rob.  I was penpals with him in high school but lost contact around '89 or '90.  So, I've been looking for him for a while.  I found him in the video!  Billy Zabka (who played Johnny) produced and directed the video.  I emailed him and asked if he could please give Rob my email address.  He did, and Rob responded.  I was quite pleased and surprised when I checked my email.  He remembered me. 

I guess the biggest thing is that I've been struggling with my depression lately.  I've been a roller coaster of emotions.  This week has been much better since I started an herbal suppliment.  I was feeling like I did in high school.  It got me thinking about that time in my life.  How in the world did people put up with me?  I was so messed up in the head.  I'm shocked I have anyone who will acknoweldge that they were friends with me then. 

I am so greatful that God has blessed my life with all that has happened.  I know that all the struggles I've been through have been for a reason.  I also know that the reason may not have anything to do with me directly.  I know that the way we respond to stress and being faithful to the Lord is exactly what God wants us to show from him.  Does this make any sense?  I read what I write and it doesn't but when I think it, it does.

Anyway, I know that I've had my share of ups and downs.  This was a major up for me.  I know that God will prevail, no matter what happens in my life.
