Humans can be confused people. At least I think so. I was thinking today how about a month ago, I thought that if one thing in my life changed, then my life would be great; fantastic! But then as soon as that one thing changed, it just made my life more confusing and now I sorta wish it never had. Has that ever happened to you? It just makes me realize how little we know and how much God knows. Theres been so many times throughout my junior high and high school years where I thought "if I acted this way, if I did that, if I (insert comment here), life would be better!" But it never was.In reality, I was usually worse off in the end. In fact, this reminds me of a certain disney song... "The seaweed is always greener in somebody elses lake; you dream about goin up there but that is a big mistake; just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor. Such wonderful things surround you, what more is you lookin for?!?" Its when I took my eyes off of God, and off of the amazing things He has given me and I try to put my eyes on my steering wheel and try to control my life and look at that one thing God hasn't given me that I start to lose. Lose everything. God has blessed me with so many INCREDIBLE things. I'm not kidding. I have fabulous parents, amazing sibilings, wonderful honarary brothers, great friends, I've been blessed incredibly with my education and economic status, and much more! But above that, I have a God who loves me...who says He has a plan for me...who wants to hold me when I cry myself to sleep...and wants to dance with me when I am overfilled with joy...who forgives me no matter how many times I throw mud in His face...and STILL wants me to run to Him. That is the most amazing incredible fabulous blessing that I could ever be blessed with! And yet I still demand more of Him? I still like to take my life back and say "hey God, now if only I could change this one part, you know, edit it a bit...maybe make it a little better for me, then life would be great! Are you cool with that slight modification?" Man...us humans think crazy things sometimes. I encourage you, as I know I will be trying, to remember all the beautiful and amazing blessings God has given you! And thank Him for that! loves =)
