i'm going home tomorrow, and i couldn't be happier.

i know it's been a while since i posted, but life has been crazy. a good crazy though.

i had a conversation with some people who said how different i am this year in comparison to last year. they say i am so much happier. it's amazing what a few months and life changes can do to your overall life.

let's see. i've really been learning not to let the little things bother me, and i feel like i'm improving everyday. we talked about this in church on sunday. pastor jack talked about being thankful--and asked us to seriously consider if we feel thankful--or if everything else is taking over?

he used the comparison of goats and sheep in talking about jesus discussing the end times in matthew 25. sheep are pretty chill creatures, but goats are really jumpy and cranky and let the honk of a horn bother them.

our worth is not wrapped up in jobs, school, or boyfriends--we don't need to flinch or freak out when bad things happen...we need to be more like sheep because it's about the little things. it's the small stuff---we are in good hands, and should be thankful.

"we should be thankful, he's coming"--JESUS is coming. and we should be thankful for the greatest gift ever. and try and spend time everyday--at least a second where we put aside the lists, and don't say anything about ourselves, the future, or the past--we should think about and focus on jesus coming back.

think about it...it's so true. i know i get wrapped up in a million things throughout the day. but maybe if i stopped, for a second every day and was thankful, it would make my life a better place.

i got an interview for teach for america. i'm thankful. pray for me.

keep the faith.
