The future...
I have just had one of the most heart-wrenching talks with my 8 year old brother, Matthew. He came into my room and I knew by the sad look on his face, watery eyes and pugged lips. "I have this problem. I've had it since last night."
After a little persuation he told me that he was worried about when dad was going to die. Because my dad is 52 now, so he's worried that he's going to die when he is still very young. I mean what am I meant to say to that when I know he's right. It could happen. I just explained to him (while I was trying to hold back my own tears) that God has a plan and even if dad does die whenever he will be a lot happier in heaven than here on earth. He really was cut up about this and I couldn't/can't believe it. He must have really thought over this a lot. I mean I have too, I've even had dreams about being at the funeral and what people would say, what I would say and I've woken up wondering if it actually happened. Death is one of the hardest things to deal with and talk about.
But just after this my little brother was giving me advice because I couldn't find my digital camera charger. So he said I should pray about it so that I could find it. He even supported his theory by telling me a story that he heard at kids club. Maybe he is going to end up being a minister???Lol!!But sure enough I took his advice and there I found my charger. I told him and he said "sometimes our eyes decieve us but they don't decieve God." How amazing is he! I love him so much, I really hope our relationship stays strong as we grow up!
Well I g2g I'm watching Princess Diaries 2 with him now, how cheesey!But sure.Aww I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow, I've to go up the mournes somewhere I think for Georgaphy fieldwork. I hate it. I'm just not fussed on the whole walking up mountains and being in rivers thing. But it's got to be done I guess.I really should have a more positive attitude towards it and then it would be easier done. I hope I have fun!Please pray that I don't fall!!
Talk soon
