My sad music...I've been listening to this a lot lately...
Okay, so...I usually don't get nervous at all before any trip I have taken.(which would be very few I might add)
I get excited, and overwhelmingly hyper, but not nervous.
The past few days(I don't know what's wrong)I have been getting stomach aches worse than I have ever had. They have a sharp, shooting, stabbing feeling to them. At first I thought it was an allergic reaction, or an overdose of Dramamine(A motion sickness medication). But after last night, and not taking any at all, I am now sure it was not the medication at all. I had the same kind of pain for hours last night, and got a fever at the same time. I was extremely irritable, and not very nice to be around...I know, I know, what else is new, right?
But this seemed to be worse than the usual monthly irritability. I was getting, not only irritated, but MAD at anyone who did ANY little, insignificant thing to me.
For instance, my sister is FINALLY coming back from TN. for 3 months, and I can't wait to see her. The bad, and upsetting part is, that my best friend will get to see her before I will, because I will be in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I was not upset about it the night before. Well, I was, but not like I was last night. What is wrong with me?!?!?!?
I finally get to get out of the country and I am nervous?!? This isn't ME!!!! I am the person in my family who can't wait to be on her own in the world. I hate having people to lean on, cause they usually fall, therefor, causing me to fall a further distance, and getting hurt more significantly than I would carrying myself. Of course I fall...and I will still. But, I learned a long time ago that it hurts more to fall from someones else's arms more than your own, because you are expecting them to carry you the whole way.
It doesn't work out like that! God makes all of us to fall, in one way or another. It just hurts more when we see other people fall, or even feel it ourselves when they fall.
I want to carry myself. Me and God, together can do it! I don't need anyone else! I want to do it on my own, without any human beings. Because they, like myself, will fall, but I can deal with myself falling. It hurts to see people I love to fall. Especially when most of them don't know how to properly pick themselves back up the way God intended them to.
Don't get me wrong. I am not saying I pick myself up the right way all the time. Cause I don't! I have fallen many times. But I have learned the hard way, that most other people are dealing with their own life crisis's to worry about anyone else.
So, to sum it all up; 1) I did not overdose on meds, I am just scared out of my wits to be driving for 30 hours, worried about egtting car sick, that I am pre-maturly, making myslef car sick with all of life's happenings.
2)I want God to carry me because no one else can do it like He can. I will fall, my friends will fall, and my family will fall.
3) Please pray for me while I am on the trip up to Canada, and while I am there, that I will not get sick, overwhelmed, or worn-out.
4)Also, pray that I would stop being so immature about things that don't really natter. I will see my sis when I get back. I will see her when I get back. It doesn't matter if he gets to see her first. She was mine first, and will always be mine first! I love them both. Who knows, maybe this is God's way of saying "Hey, Caitlin, back off...they need time to be friends too..."
Anyway...I leave in about 19 1/2 hours for a VERY looooong drive to a weird country...Pray...Please!
In Christ
