Tiki is back and adjusting well, at least until the kitten tries to play with her. She's getting better though. I have to leave my door open now and all the cats tend to go in my room because they couldn't before, I almost feel like I should just move to the living room and let them have my room.
Can I just stop for a minute and say that God is good? Because He is! I mentioned in a previous post that there was somebody who I was going to try to "love the socks off" of. (If you didn't read it: there is a person I know and we haven't gotten along well for a while now and they had done something that made me want to completely block them from my life, but I was thinking about what love, the kind of love that drove Christ to die on the cross for the very people that nailed him there, was and in thinking about it I came to the realization that I couldn't give up on them, that I had to keep trying to fix what was wrong. That's the short version.) Anyhow, I saw this person just recently, and that day things were said that I hadn't expected, good things, and the next day I was told by someone else that this person was realizing that we can indeed have a good relationship (that's the short, sweet, and simple version of what was said).
Imagine if I had given up? Things would have been so much different. I was expecting the same things to just keep on happening, I didn't think anything would change, but I decided to trust God and keep trying and look what He did for me! I know things aren't going to be completely better tomorrow, or even next week, there will be ups and downs along the way, but it's happening now. This prayer that I've had for so long is being answered! I didn't necessarily like how long it took, but even in that God had a plan, because I learned to never give up on Him. He never ever gives up on us, but it's so easy for us to stop trusting Him and stop believing that He's doing anything about the situation, when all along He has things completely under control and is timing everything so it happens at the best time for everybody. Certain things have happened recently that are going to allow me to see this person a lot more than I used to be able to, and I think that's another reason it took so long, because now we can actually see each other and fix things, instead of over the phone or e-mail, which is always better. God works in the details, He sees the big picture, and He knows what's best, I just have to keep trusting him and never, ever give up on Him.
