Irresponsible Blogger:

Well people, I’m sure that you have your stones in hand, ready to throw them at this unfaithful blogger. It is all for good reason... I have been busy focusing on my school work and getting to know a certain girl better as well as coping with the daily blind sides. It has been a week of extremes. There has been the absolutely freaking amazing and also the quintessential of suckiness.

The good you can probably guess... either that or you’re so out of the circle of knowledge that you’re in another geometry book. (poor analogies, I know... they don’t pay me to be good) Ok, I’ll be a little less vague.

As I have said many times throughout my life... I lead a very blessed life. Much of what is good is based on that I have the awesomest Abba (Hebrew for “Daddy”... basically referring to God)!! I bet everything that He could beat up your dad! Now that I am done with my kindergartner moment for the day... I love BBC for its chapels and for the work that God does in lives.

The other good stuff is that (shameless plug) I have had the change to get to know a super sweet girl. Yeah - she’s the one I’ve talked about previously. I am enjoying her company and friendship for a while now and look forward to where the road could lead. No, there is no official title yet... just two people who are trying to figure out the will of God and each other all at the same time. I just have to say that Becca, she’s the bomb. (Hope you don’t mind that your name is on here Becca.. if so, let me know) If you think about it people, pray for us. (PS: pray for her right now - she’s not feeling the best ... illness wise)

As for the suckiness:

My dad has been sick for the last week and a half. No one knew what was wrong with him. No doctor could diagnose what he was fighting.... until yesterday. Yesterday test came back positive that he had the West Nile Virus.

The initial news of this had me floored. I can’t tell you how long I spent in tears. The thoughts that flooded my head, the words that flashes across my screen, the unknown elements of the situation. Thank God that Matt and Jason were in the room to offer a word of prayer and arms to hold the broken pile of mush that I became.

You know, it is really easy in the times that everything is going right to praise God for what He’s doing in your life. It is the times that darkness hides His face from us that it takes faith to stand firm and unwavered. It was tough for me to come to grips, but I accept whatever is going to happen to my dad. It is on Christ, the Solid Rock, that I stand.

I talked to Dad on the phone... he’s doing ok. Keep praying for him. His fever is broken and like all viruses, we just have to wait for it to run its course. I have a friend at the school that said that he should be fine... Dad is still young and his body should have no problem fighting it off. Your prayers are appreciated... if you wanter to send my Dad a get well note our home e-mail is: dongula@ptd.net ... write a lil something in the subject of the message just so they know it’s not junk mail. Keep praying, he’s gunna make it!
