Pulled Muscle

I think I pulled a muscle in my back at yoga/pilates last night. I didn't have my nephew last night so I went to an extra class at Patterson Park. Yes, I skipped church to do it. Sometimes I need to think about God in different ways. When I am totally concentrating on my breathing or trying to balance and not fall over, I can feel God there. When I contort myself into some strange new yoga position, I find myself thinking in awe about how God made our bodies capable of doing so much. To think of all that went on in designing the human body and all the fine details, what an enormous job! When Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, their bodies were perfect. God had made a perfect being. Now our bodies have problems. We get sick, and we get old. We as Christians have the upper hand on non Christians. One day our bodies will be perfect again. We'll be in a perfect place. I myself am looking forward to no more pulled muscles.

After I got out of class last night, I thinking of going home, eating and going to bed. As I neared my car, I thought I heard a faint ringing noise. It got louder as I pushed the button to unlock my doors. My cell phone was in my center console ringing away. Seems my sisters fever went back up and she wanted me to come get my nephew. She lives about a minute from Patterson Park, so I went and got him and brought him over here for the night. He was great, he took a bath, ate his cereal and fruit,(baby oatmeal and I think pears) took a bottle, and went to sleep. He slept soundly until 7:15 this morning. I fed him another bottle, then he went with my mom to a program at my little sisters school. I hope someday that I can have a baby as perfect as he is. Even if I can't have it myself, I hope I get the opportunity to be a mom.

There is a little girl I have babysat for a few times. Her mom had a baby boy six weeks ago, he has downs syndrome. To me he is perfect also. He's such a little fellow and has such a hard life ahead of him. They won't know the extent of his downs (as far as mental and physical development), until he is older. I pray that he grows to be a sweet, tender hearted boy, with very little limitations. I've always felt a strong pull towards children with handicaps. I should know something in a week or two about nursing school. After that, we'll see what God has in store for me.

I paid for my class reunion. There's no backing out now. I hope they're all fat. I know that's not nice, and should someone I went to school with ever read this, I suppose I would be emberrased. But it's true. At least I am an honest person.

The family is leaving for Georgia tomorrow. I'll have my nephew part of the weekend, but hopefully I can relax for some of it. My irritable bowel has been, well, slightly irritable this week. Possibly the stress of the reunion, or the stress of waiting for info. on nursing school. More than likely a combination of both. I'm just not feeling quite right and I pray I'm not headed towards an ulcerative colitis flare up. That is the last thing I need right now. Anyway, something is going on with my gut. I guess I should have posted a waring before this for people who don't want to hear about my colon. Well, Clark told us about his foot fungus, so I can talk about my colon. :)
