I am dead tired, but can't sleep

I am dead tired, but can't sleep. Ever have that happen? You are laying there and don't have the energy to do anything and are trying as hard as you can to fall asleep, but you can't quite seem to get there? Ashley got some tests results back. I can't remember exactly how much I wrote on here about her situation, but she started having back pain a couple of months ago. Recently it got so bad that she went to the doctor and they discovered that it wasn't her back, but her kidneys. After more tests the doctor thought that it was either cancer or an STD. (despite the fact that she told the doctor that wasn't possible) Ashley kept insisting that she thought it was Kidney stones. I asked her if I could pray for her (even though I was doing it anyway) and she said that that was fine. It was very ironic because even though she says that she is a pagan and worships Diana she asked me a couple of weeks ago if I was worried about what was going to happen after I died and if I ever thought about it. I told her that I already knew what was going to happen to me when I died. We ended up talking about different stuff and she told me that she sometimes prays to Jesus and diana. That Jesus was there for her through some things, but seemed to disappear when she needed him in other times. Anyways, she got her test results back today and-----:) She has an infection and a kidney stone. Not that I am praising God for that, but both of them are treatable and she doesn't have cancer or anything else that could be much more serious... I was teasing Clark (her man) when he told me and I mentioned that this is what happens when you pray. He told me that they had prayed to diana also and that all of our prayers go to the same place, because utimately they are all the same god. I didn't say anything. I am not going to argue. I want to love them the same way that Christ loves us. I think that after listening to them and watching them that they have really had a rough time with life, more so than a lot of people I know. Which probably explains alot about their personalities and their struggles. Maybe they have experienced a lot of people promoting the church as apposed to being the church.
---I am feeling alot better today than I have been in a while. Thank you so much Danielle for everything that you wrote. I read it and it made my spririt feel light. Chris and I are going on a "date" tomorro. I am really excited:) He is taking me to see Pirates II. I'll have to write and tell ya'll how everything goes...
Love ya!

    See, you ARE being Jesus to your friend Ashley! I think it's wise that you didn't try to argue or "fix" Ashley's and/or Clark's thinking. Just keep being Jesus and speaking truth.

    Thanks for praying for my interview. It went well, I think. It's all up to the Lord in the end.

    I didn't kiss anyone in recent weeks, by the way. I'll have to tell you about kissing a fool some other time.
