Sick

For those of you who know me you know that I am a giant baby when it comes to being sick. The sad part is that this stupid cold I have is actually not that bad. However, I feel like I could possibly die at any moment. I hate being sick. I think it is because I have been blessed with a great immune system, so when it fails I start going through the days before in my head trying to figure out where I caught this "deadly" sickness. Oh yea I also complain and over exaggerate EVERYTHING!

The last time I was sick was the day Camille left for Kansas City. Never had I felt so sad and helpless. Our last days together consisted me trying not to mope around because she was leaving. Coupled with the fact that all I wanted to do was cuddle up with her and sleep. Now that I am thinking about it that is all I want to do now. It is hard having her so far away. Some days are easier then others but not these days.

Anyways I got to see my best-friend this morning. He came in to meet with my brother, who had completely forgot they were meeting. It's okay though he only rode his bike in the cold for nothing. It was nice that I was able to come to work and see him here this morning. We got to talk about his family since I have not seen them in a little while.

Politics, labels, and God...(in that order)

Generally I have tried to stay out of politics after learning my lesson in 2004. Or so I thought. Now we are in that part of the four year cycle where candidates do exactly what American mothers tell their children not to. Lie and attack others. This got me thinking about how I seem to absorb the negative press and start labeling others. I don't see anybody around this time as people to love, but party associated delegates here to agree with my opinion or stupidly go against it. Why? Because I am right and anyone who can't see that is ignorant.
This is how I think, labeling people who don't agree with me and associating them with the party I don't like. Their ideas are just as dumb as their party's.
Where is God in this whole thing? To me nowhere. He's waiting in the background hoping that that guy he wants to be elected gets elected. Wondering if he will be able to accomplish his all sovereign plan for the next four years.
This is not a mentality that I want to continue to carry. I don't want to see people as labels, because to be honest I have my own. It doesn't define me nor does it dictate my life. I can't let the election affect how I see people around me everyday. People that need to hear that God has a bigger plan for their life no matter how bad the economy gets and no matter who is in "power". And I need to remind myself that no power is given in Heaven or on earth that has not been set since the beginning of time.
