"Who Killed The Chickens" by me I was on my way home from school, and looking out the window as I always do at the nature and whatnot because it fascinates me. Welp, suddenly I started seeing what I thought were these dead, puffed up chickens all along the side of the road. It upset me really bad because I was like "What crazy, mean, heartless person, would kill all these chickens, and line them up on the side of the road, and let them swell up like that???" So I started crying... yes, CRYING!!! By like the 5th or 6th chicken it became too weird... so I was like "Ok, this can't be right". Then you know what? It finally hit me... and they weren't dead, puffed up chickens - THEY WERE BIG SNOWBALLS!!!!!! the end Hey Jesus! Haha! THANK YOU FOR TODAY! Though we've both learned how truly... slow I am, and that I tend to look at life in an abstract way, it's what makes ME interesting. Today has been filled with laughter, and it's made me fall so much more into love with You! I believe that there's many things You've given us to make it through this world... and one of those things is laughter. Oh, how it can make the worst day seem worth it, and the stupidest things seem uplifting! Thank You for the many blessings Lord, and for turning my day into something amazing, and definetly something I'll never forget. I'm sure You had times where You were with Your friends, laughing so hard Your eyes began getting tears in them... to the point where You couldn't walk straight and couldn't keep quiet. Aren't those moments wonderful? Thank You! Thank You for laughing with me, for singing with me, for dancing with me, for everything You do Lord! Thank You for showing me, once again, how truly blessed I am, and for seeing the perks in the small things and the blessings through the rain. I love You so much! Thanks for the amazing opportunity to talk to Karen last night. I can't even begin to explain how much that blessed my heart. Since stuff started happening within their family, as You know, I really felt that You wanted me to talk with her. But I fought it and told You there's no way it could happen - that I'm only 16 and she's probably 3 times my age... but that doesn't matter to You. You used me anyway... You told me to just wait, to be patient, and to follow Your lead. Though, I honestly thought You were crazy, I surrendered and prayed about it. Out of the blue she messaged me last night, and I knew it was all in Your perfect plan. Thank You, I just pray my words were helpful Lord, and that in some way, I made her day a little easier and gave her hope somehow. Be with her, Father. You see her heart, as well as my own... as well as everyone in this world. Be with them God, and show them how amazing Your love is... You're so amazing! I want more of You, Jesus -Rachel
