IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

Well I went straight from school to work, where there was only me and another girl on duty.  Plus factor in hundreds of kids coming in our doors saying "Trick or Treat" and getting candy while the phones are ringing off the hook and more custumers than usual at that hour, it was stressful!  Well at 7:30 I got sent home partially cause it slowed down soo much and partially cause I forgot to call back one pizza! I need to work on that! 

Well that was cool cause I got to go to my church Hallelujah Night sooner!  It was totally awesome, they had jousting, and game booths, and 4 bouncy thingys, and then 2 rooms filled with blacklights and videogames of all sorts.  But I was looking for my friend who after I spent the whole night looking basically I found she had gone home like 10 min. before I got there cause she got sick :(!  That totally bummed me out. 

Well anyways now to the MIRACLE!  I know many wont believe this, but I guarentee that it's true.  I had just gotten there and one of the youth leaders came up to me like "Hey Grace! I heard the great news you must be thrilled!"  I immediatly asked, "What great news, there's nothing going on that I know of." Because there was nothing...and then he's all like " 'bout your aunt! It's awesome!" I looked at him blankly as he was trying to tell me something, and it just wasn't working.  My mom suddenly came up to me, she looked at the leader and said "I haven't told her yet." Shocked he crossed his arms to watch my reaction as my mom told me the story.  Well, for those of you who don't know my aunt wasn't doing too well.  She wasn't supposed to make it much longer she started eating only a teaspoon of applesauce a day b/c her stomache wouldn't take anything else and anymore than that, and no medication to help her with her cancer. 

Well with that said she had done a full body scan that day because she was feeling different and the dr's were telling her that she shouldna felt that way.  THERE'S NOT ONE BIT OF CANCER IN HER!!!! IT ALL JUST DISAPPEARED! INTO THIN AIR!  I don't care what you believe THAT WAS GOD!!!  All I wanted was for her to go on her cruise and here she is living cancer free randomly!  If you guys think that cancer wasn't that bad-look at the timeline to the right!
