do you remember...

... when i had the flu for three days and then on a quiet saturday morning, a pipe burst and flooded the basement?

oh you don't? well i do- 'cause it just happened. lol.

quite the eventful weekend. however, here's the good news.

1) i think i'm getting better. finally. :) that's a freaking miracle, 'cause i've been sick as a dog.

2) the pipe fiasco could've been a lot worse. thankfully, both of my roommates were home, so this weak/sick chick didn't have to clean up three inches of water off the floor all by her lonesome. :)

3) the pipe is fixed, water cleaned up, and no real damage was done.

4) from being so under the weather this past week, i think i've lost the ten pounds i put on over the holidays!! haha, okay that's so wrong. but seriously. lol.

onto another topic:

i've been thinking on how to write about this pre-screening i went to for a documentary called Lord, save us from your followers which impacted me hugely. however, still thinking. i just can't seem to externalize all the thoughts and convicting moments in my heart. so, i'm still working on that.

however, on another ENTIRELY DIFFERENT note, here's a quote i recently found in a book that hit me like a ton of bricks (in a good way):

"...forgiveness does not create a relationship. unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible. when you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be established."
william p. young

it's too much to explain in a blog post written by a slightly-feverish and exhausted person. but to me- that quote is really profound.
