Supercalifragilisticixpialadocious

Why does God give us things we do not ask for? Do we deserve those things? Either way, those things are for the better, right? God has a plan for everything. He will not give us anything we can't handle, even though we may think otherwise. If we already doubt our ability to handle what he has give us, why do we think we can handle more? This does not apply to all of the things God gives us, of course. Lots of times, we like the things He gives us. We are just too focused on all of the negative thing.
I was recently reminded this weekend, specifically Sunday, of this. In the middle of all the stress from all the junk going on, I got a free ride to base as I was rushing to get to Bible study. I didn't ask Him for it, but he knew I needed it. I will never know what would've happened had I taken the train. Bible study was also a relief of stress; we went to Starbucks and talked. It wasn't much of Bible Study, but it was good to just talk to eachother and encourage and support eachother. That night, at church, I really felt that that sermon was made especially for me. My friend I was sitting next to me looked at me to tell me the same thing, only to see me crying, she was silent and understood. The sermon was about faith. We read from Romans 4. It was really cool when the Chaplain asked for people to read out loud. Almost all who read were students. My friend, Sophie and I, were the first to raise our hands, then a few middle schoolers. Reading to the church wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be :)
Later on, we went to Mainstreet (the food court in Yokosuka) and I ate with Kyhlea and Rachel, two good friends of mine. We talked about how everyone who went to Northstar had changed for the better since we last saw them. It was refreshing. We also sang (pretty loudly) songs like "A Whole New World" and "Supercalifragilisticixpialadocious"... It was a fun night. If they don't know already, they brightened up my week :) (Thanks, Guys!)
Wow, that was all yesterday. Today was pretty boring in comparison. I don't have my homeschool curriculum yet, so I worked on PE and Arabic... all day. Ah well, atleast I can be somewhat conditioned before soccer season.
I suppose I'm done... that's all, there isn't anymore.
