Being thankful...

Blaahhh I'm so bad at blogging!! I haven't posted in like 3 months...woopsies! Life somehow seems to creep in and steal all the time away...is anyone out there anyways?? Just wondering!

Anyways, being back at school today was a struggle because I was seeing the world through the world's eyes instead of seeing the world through Jesus's eyes. Sometimes I make the excuse that it's because I've grown up in this world for 21 years now, that's why it's so easy to listen to the world's view on life and what it should look like. Instead, I should be looking at how Jesus lived in this world, so that I may be a little bit more like him and adopt his perspective on life. It's a constant struggle to do this but somehow seems to be an even bigger nuisance when I'm at school...seems like you're only as good as your future plans, future occupation, graduate school plans, how many awards you've received or are going to receive, etc. All those lies in my head! Yikeseroni!

So I decided today to start looking at the things I'm thankful for instead of focusing on those things I'm stressed out about or worried about, hopefully then I can start to look more and more like Jesus. So here's my something to be thankful for today:

LOVE IT! I always joke with Fed telling him "just play with me buddy!" so that made me think of that but also just being a kid again...when I was a kid my biggest worry was if I had creamy or chunky peanut butter on my sandwich, oh gosh the problems I had huh?! Ha It's a good reminder to have child like faith that everything will work out and work out for the best and to get joy out of the simple things...like this picture!
