Wheelchairs and Injuries

So I busted my left ankle again-this time iceskating. And of course this all happened the DAY before I left for spring break. I sprained it both ways-biliteral sprain (I think it's called that...). This weekend my family and I went to California! :D It was very much fun, except for my stupid injury. Six Flags Magic Mountain-that's where this is all leading to. I had to use a wheelchair for that day, and while my brother and I had tons of fun going up and down hills, being in a wheelchair sucks. Yes, I got to get in the front of the line, but it was still pretty stupid. When you're in a wheelchair people either become one of two people-the I feel so sorry for you, or the I don't care you're not better than anyone else. You don't need to feel sorry. I think that's probably worse, because they make you feel helpless, like you can't do anything and are stupid. And while I don't want people to be jerks, just because you're in a wheelchair, you aren't better than anyone else. Now I was just in a wheelchair for a day-think about someone that has to spend their whole life in a wheelchair, how do you think they feel? And having these jerks make you feel like you can walk, get up. That's just stupid people being stupid people I guess. But when I am treated like there is nothing wrong with me, when there is, that irks me quite a bit. On another note, the bathrooms at this place were impossible to get through in a wheelchair and are tiny. There was only 4 stalls in one of them. This is an amusement park people, hundreds of people-everyone has to pee at some point. But whatever, I just think that we should think more about others. Because their living their lives too.

Happy Easter

On this Easter Sunday, I am listening to my wonderful church's General Conference. Most of the talks today have been spoken about what Christ did for us. And when you think about it, no one can imagine what Christ felt as he suffered for our sins in gethsemane. Jesus Christ bled from every pore, and He felt every pain that we have felt, in a small time, when we feel our pains over a lifetime. Jesus Christ overcame death and was resurrected, and because he was resurrected, we will too. And isn't that an awesome feeling-to know that we will live again in perfection! For me that is amazing, because I know that even after I die, I will be able to live again with my family. That, for me, is the greatest feeling in the world. And I also know that Christ atoned for my sins, so that I can repent for my sins and be clean. I love knowing these things because this makes me happy. Christ did so much for us, and I know that when I think that no one else has gone through what I have gone through, I can know that He has. Isn't that amazing?
Happy Easter everyone! And enjoy the blessings of the Savior.
He is my Prince of Peace and the King of Kings.
Just some thoughts,
