I had a pretty successful time in the kitchen a few weekends ago. Remember how straining things was an issue? Well, mom found a strainer that you put in/overtop of the pot of water with pasta or whatever in it and then when it's done you take it out and just shake the water out. I know that's not a great explanation, I tried to find a link. Next time I use it I'll try and take pictures.
I have also figured out how to pin my bangs out of my face and am doing even better with straightening my hair so, I'm making some progress.
I am also taking off to Vancouver for a couple of days in July with my friends. This will be my first time back in BC since my grandma passed away and also my first time on plane since then, it'll be bittersweet I think.
I am asking a personal favour. Gavin Leong from Chasing Rainbows passed away very unexpectedly. So wrong. Please keep his family in your prayers. If you are willing, please post this photo to your Facebook, blog, whatever.
It's times like this that I just don't understand. My heart breaks for his family and I just can not even begin to grasp how this fits in Gods plan. Yes, he has a plan. Yes he is bigger than I. Yes he has knowledge and understanding beyond what we do, but, I JUST don't understand. I'm kind of angry to be honest. I didn't know him personally and I fell apart for his family the other day. Maybe I shouldn't be angry, maybe I should try and understand that some good came from it. Peoples' lives were saved because of Gavin's organs and his amazingly strong, selfless parents.
Please take five minutes to go visit his moms blog and get to know their story here
Keep fighting. Keep praying. Keep hoping.
