I'm done.

With my meds, that is.
I'm officially off my anti-depressants and still doing marvelous.
Over Thanksgiving break I went to my therapist/doctor/lady and she agreed that I need not be on medication anymore. Crazy how far I've come in two years. I'm so blessed.

My short titles for these last few posts make me smile. Not sure why such short titles just draw me in... But they do.
In other news, merry Christmas eve's eve!

RIP, little ones

I worked everyday this past week in a kindergarten classroom. 17 precious kids, 1 wonderful teacher. And then when I came home Friday afternoon, it felt as if my heart had broken.

20 precious children, 6 wonderful teachers. All gunned down. Point blank. No mercy. No love.
I haven't ever cried this much for people I have never met or even seen.

Just say a prayer for these families. For the ones who have to unwrap all the Christmas presents themselves. For the ones who have to spend the rest of their lives wondering what their children would have looked like, acted like, loved in the future...
Just pray for everyone involved.

RIP, little ones...

I cried today.

It's my last week here in Auburn until 2013. This makes me so sad, yet so excited.
It's finals week, so yesterday we had a eating/study party at my place. The studying done was minimal, but it was so much fun. It's gonna be weird not having those besties around all of the time...
But that's all a side note. The real reason I cried today was church.
We started a new series called "White Christmas." It's on forgiveness. Which is something I have been really really struggling with lately. It's not that anyone's hurt me lately, but it's all this pain I'm harboring from years.
Being betrayed, being ignored, being hated... It's hard to let go of those things. And it's harder to love the people who did it.
But the first step is to pray for them. Pray that they'll be blessed in all they do, in their lives, with their friends and families...
So here goes...
