Dan is totally onto something.
Why DO we need so much freaking attention? Every few days I get a little down, a little doubtful... for no real reason. Yeah, maybe I could pick out a miniscule reason to support it, but someone could argue it just as strongly, for sure. I was praying earlier that God would just make His love enough for me. He'll never let me down. He's there 24 hours a day, anytime I let Him in... and even when I don't let Him in, I know He still loves me. I don't know. I've just felt a little baffled lately. One day I see God's hand in each and every event. The next I float around pondering my existence and everything that felt so certain the day before. Why does that keep happening? Does anyone have any advice to kick this thing straight in the rear? It's no fun, and it can't be where God wants my heart.
I am thankful for everything He's given me. Friends to fellowship with, hang out with, be lazy with, eat junk food with, do nothing with. Family that I see all the time, and family that I don't. Church alive with energy and smiling faces. People who genuinely care and pray for me and others. People who want to know God or just know Him more. I am thankful to those who show me love in infinite ways. I am thankful that little things like food, hugs, smiles, "how are you"s, and second goodbye kisses can make me float on air. For technology that allows me to sit here and type about nothing, and that I have so many opportunites to further my education and continue learning through school, church, and friends. I am proud to be an American... ha, but it's true. I am thankful that George W. Bush won the election and will bring more conservative judges to the supreme court. I am thankful that Jesus Christ died on the cross for me, for you, for every person... and that His ultimate sacrifice covers all sins committed in the past, and the crap we will do later in life. God is so faithful, so loving, so everything and everywhere... He gives and takes away... and in all this He is SO amazing.
That wasn't supposed to sound like my thanksgiving post... i just know when I get down about stupid things, or nothing at all, that I need to re-focus on God and all that He has for me. He is my ultimate hope and in Him alone can I find true joy. Not only that, I know I don't need anything in addition to Him either.
Remember, if God is for us, who can be against us? (accent and all)
