Ode to Jenny

So for those of you who noticed a few days ago on my facebook, my car was stolen last monday. It's been a really interesting experience, because I really actually....don't care. It's very strange, and I think it has something to do with all of my friends. I honestly have the most amazing friends in the history of the world. I'm so fortunate to have them. Let me give you some examples!

The morning it happened Sharon came straight to my house to comfort me (even though I was ok), and then picked me up on her lunch break so that I could use her car for the rest of the day. She's also offered me her car while she's at EFY for the next 3 weeks.

My roommate Susie has borrowed her parent's car for the weekend, and let me use hers until Sharon goes to EFY, and she wrote a poem about it. She's pretty good at poems.

I told my friend Randy and his first concern was that my massage table was in my car, which it was. My massage table is second only to my hands in terms of importance for my job. The car I don't really care about that much. My table....was really sad. So Randy called up all of my friends (that he knew) and started a fund to help me get a new table.

Before my mission I sold my scooter to one of my bosses, Dr. Vance. When he found out about my car, he offered me to use the scooter, or to help me find a new car.

My other boss, Dr. Adams, happened to have a massage table that someone asked him to sell in his garage that hasn't been used, and said he'd let me use it, and if I wanted to buy it, I could get a really good deal for it.

Not to mention all the phone calls, and people sending their regards to the late and great Jenny. It's been a really great experience for me. Which is amazing, because it should be something so devastating and difficult to deal with. The Lord has blessed me with such great people in my life, that it always makes big things seem so small and insignificant. It's also friends like this that will bind together stronger during these hard times. This experience has changed my persepective so much, and I owe it all to Jenny. Here's to you, wherever you are!

Here's some of the sweet stuff my friends did

We all went out to breakfast and and the money was presented with this beautifully handmade card.
