Yes I know the title of my blog is so pessimistic, but it seems fitting. Another day in a seemingly never ending reality. That's how my life feels sometimes. I feel like I'm just going through the motions, going through my routine because that's what you're supposed to do with a schedule.
This Thanksgiving break has been a much needed break after a long semester of ups and downs. It has been a nice reprieve, like the calm before the storm. Yet it doesn't seem that way. With the rush of Thanksgiving meals and Black Friday deals, and not to forget the homework on top of that, this break has turned into another busy few days. I had planned on rest and relaxation before the next two weeks of preparing for some mind blowing finals that I know will destroy my mind.
Yet amidst all this, I am as calm as ever. Not really worrying about anything. Is that good or bad? Throughout this semester God has really been amazing and merciful. He has provided me with the strength to get through the next day or to just get through the day despite the work load that I had/have. He really knows what I need and gives it to me without me asking for it. He has given me the friends that I need and countless number of others who have been there for me even in the lows of this semester and have just brought me up, out of the ashes. He has allowed me to have a wonderful relationship with old friends and my now girlfriend.
Because of His goodness and how much he gives without receiving even close to the amount he gives to me I want to keep pursuing my relationship with Him. I want to do everything that I am doing now in a way that will glorify the one true God. Unlike most of my friends who blog and who may read this I can't as easily pull out a bible verse as well as they can but music, specifically lyrics, really appeal to me and an excerpt from the song Light by The Rocket Summer really speaks to how I want to follow Him and it goes
I am yours, do what you wish
I am yours, I am yours and I know this
Whatever happens next is in your hands, in your plans
Nothing less
In everything there is a choice
Through the joy, through the pain I will rejoice
I am yours, do what you wish
I am yours, I am yours and I know this
I feel as though this is the perfect place to end it here for now. Feel free to comment or reply to me on this.
