Have you ever wondered. . .

Have you ever wondered where time has gone? It seemed that just yesterday I was stuffing my face with all sorts of food; I didn't care about what else was going on in life because I was happy getting fatter. Wait. . . .time does fly. Man, being a senior and having senioritis (c'mon you all know about this to some extent or another, just another excuse not to do homework) is really fun. There is just something about knowing that you have homework and not doing it that gives you a thrill. Maybe it is just the excitement of that last minute cram, or the adventure of not knowing what in the world you are writing as you turn this paper in. To me that is where the real excitement is at!! Then you find yourself working on your blog knowing that you have to read a book and write 5 pages on it by monday. Ok got go.

Some pictures say a thousand words, this one needs none. 

Thankful

There was a time not too long ago in my life where I felt very unthankful for things that had happened. My world, which seemed to be spinning so fast at the time, came to a standstill. I had lost a brother and a friend. I remember sitting in the car with my best friend and trying to comprehend all that had just happend. How can I be thankful for such an event?
But little did I know how God was going to use that day in my life. Have you ever wondered why we are supposed to count it all joy when we fall into various trials? Because God is working out His perfect plan in us to make us complete. Without these trials we are shallow; we are lacking this steadfastness that we need. We are hollow shells; we are incomplete vessels. I am not complete. . . . . yet! God is not finished with me yet, and to make me complete, lacking nothing, God will work out his plan!
So I have plenty to be thankful for. First of all I have finally started this stupid blog. This might be the only posting in it for a while. Second I am thankful for relationships. I am thankful for love that is better than life. If all that I had was my relationship with Christ, I would need to be eternally grateful. But, God has given me a wonderful fiancee and the coolest friends ever. My family has been important especially lately in my life.
I am thankful that my brother is spending thanksgiving with the One who is the ultimate lover of his soul. Mike is thankful I am sure too.
