People...

So...I think today, my eyes have slowly been opened up to the people that God has provided in my life. Accountability group was good tonight. I learned that I'm not the only one that feels kinda overlooked sometimes. It always makes things better when you realize that you're not the only one going through that. But, anyway, about people. Maybe sometimes I'm blind to it, but there are people that care about me. There are actually a lot. I guess sometimes I don't feel that or see that because I just feel disconnected and alone sometimes. But, they are definitely there. I asked God to show me, and He did. So, thank You God! I know He is going to continue to bring new people in my life and develop some really cool relationships. So, I'm really looking forward to that.

I think that I'm going to try to get involved in some type of service or ministry. Well, let's just say I was talking to someone today, and I told him a lot of the things I've been struggling with lately. He asked me if I had been serving in any kind of ministry or just any form of serving others. I told him that I hadn't really, aside from just trying to help people in my day to day life, even though I'm not exactly great about that. He told me that it would be good for 2 reasons. First, obviously, it's a great way to glorify and serve God by serving others. The other reason is that well, sometimes I just get really caught up with problems I'm struggling with in my own life. I kinda get consumed by them sometimes. Not that it's bad to take care of yourself and acknowledge things that you are struggling with, but he basically suggested that if I put some of that energy into serving others, it would probably do me a lot of good. And I definitely think that for those two reasons, I'm going to try to get involved with some sort of ministry. I dunno if I'll be able to do something regularly, but at least just try to get out there and serve people. I think it will be really cool. So, I'm really glad that God showed me that opportunity today. If you know of any good ministry/serving opportunities, let me know.

Haha so, after I write this paragraph, it might look kinda stupid, but my spanish professor said something just really random today in class that made me laugh. It was funnier in person because he has an accent, and it just sounded funnier coming from a guy with an accent. But, he was telling us that basically our first essays we had turned in were not very good. So, he's like ... "it's kinda like when you go to a barbeque place...and you order...ehhh a T-bone steak. So, you get your steak, and there is a little bit of spaghetti on the plate too. And you are like, why is this spaghetti here?? It doesn't belong on a plate with a T-bone. It's the same way with some of your compositions. You put random sentences that don't belong with that paragraph. And I don't know why they are there." First off...I'm pretty sure at a barbeque place they don't serve T-bones. At least when I worked at C&J's, they didn't...but it was just such a random analogy it was really funny. I hope that made sense, and that it was funny to you too.

Hm...gettin kinda late. I should be asleep. I kinda like writing in this blog again...it's kinda cool. Writing is definitely good stuff. But yeah, sleep.

Oh, yeah, before I finish writing...I thought I'd just say I love Thursdays. You know all day that the next day is Friday, and Friday is cool because it's the last day of school for that week. It's just...good stuff. Looking forward to having a couple days of no school.

Ok, for real, bye.
