I can't really explain why, but today I've had the overwhelming sensation of how blessed my life is. It might have something to do with the fact that God is too good to me. And that I've been shown the most powerful grace that's ever existed. It might also be that I have such wonderful, supportive friends and family who care about my well-being. It may even have something to do with all of the productivity that desperately needed to occur (and did).
I can't even begin to tell you how often I complain about things in my life. I have too much homework, I have to go to the grocery store, the bank closes at 5 so those odds don't look good...and the list goes on. But what I so often forget to do is step back from the world and revel in the fact that I am so capable and free. In this life and in this faith. I've been blessed with so much and I truly am so thankful.
I think that's something that I'm working on right now ---- letting God show me how to be content with my life and letting Him bless me in the process.
By the way, I truly am thankful for YOU. You've either had some type of impact on my life or the chances are, you will soon.
Tristan, I love that picture and I love your blog! This was such a good reminder that we need to step back and remember all the things that God has blessed us with! We really have all that we need, and so much more! Yet sometimes we get caught up with all the little details that go wrong, that we forget the big picture. I love how insightful your posts have been this semester. God is really working on your heart this year!
