me: Hey God, how are you doing? Dumb question I know. Thank you for my wonderful family, they are just amazing and I can't imagine life without them. So thank you for them.1
Every day I understand more and more why you made my family sick. As far as sickensses go I suppose I should be grateful, after all, they could have AIDS or something even worse, but they just have CFIDS, wich I now realize is a blessing.2
I'm a little anxious about what will happen when school starts up again. After all, it has been several months since I was in school, I may be kind of rusty. Please help me do REALLY well in sschool this semester! I am so nervous! What if I've grown lazy and don't study enough? What if I try as hard as I can, and it STILL isn't enough to do well in my classes?3
God: "Ok, calm down, you are working yourself into hysterics. You know that I gave you loads of intelegence. You know that classes are mannagable, and there is extra help if you need it. You know that I will always be there for you comforting and guiding you all the way."4
me: I know, I know, I am just nervous I guess. I do know that everything will be alright, no matter what happens. You have always taken care of me and you always will. I firmly believe that. Please never let my faith in you waiver, and please help me get through this calmly. I love you God.
Author notes
ok, a bit of explaining... three members of my family have CFIDS, wich is an illness kind of like Mono mixed with horrible migrains and chemical sensitivity and VERY long lasting (my Dad has had it for ten years). I got sick last semester and ended up in the hospital. I missed so much school that I had to take a medical leave of absence for the semester and drop out. Going back makes me kind of nervous.

Very Good
A good long talk with God always help clear the air, I don't know about his answering but I believe he hears and helps in some way. Heaven knows I have bent his ear enough this past year to do him for a while with me.

This is a very nice write. Thanks for sharing this. Just one thing though. Spell check is your friend dear. There are several misspelled words that if you had used it they would have been found.
I am sorry that your family has to suffer with this disease. Personally, I have never heard of the disease before. It would have been nice had you explained the disease a little better in your AN as to get the word out about it to other people like me who have no knowledge of the disease itself. However, this is a learning experience and all in all you did very well.
I am glad that you are doing better and since you are so worried about school I bet that you do well in it as well. Thanks again for entering this contest. -
