Thoughts of a 21 year old dude.
I have a very polar personality. I am either laughing at everything, milking the most fun out of every moment (usually by acting a tad insane), or I lock myself into an antisocial, intrapersonal, contemplative "room" of thought. I definitely can say that the contemplative side of me came first. Ever since I can remember my mind has been a constant stream of questions and thoughts about how things around me work or why things are the way they are. I think that the side of me that is a little bit crazy is basically a knee jerk reaction to what I am by default. After all a really smart dude once said that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I am pretty sure he was on to something with that.
Among other things, I feel I am in a very blessed season right now. Almost everything that is of any real worth has improved in my life in the past month. My relationship with God has grown as I have been challenged and encouraged by this new sense of community all around me at SPU. I have made friends (cool friends) fast than I ever dreamed of. And it has not been a forced thing, rather it has been a very effortless, organic (which I am sure is thanks to the Big Guy looking out for me!) experience. I just look back at the excessively relaxed manner in which I handled applying and getting my act together to come here. I waited until the last minute on everything, and I think in almost a trusting and faithful way I had no worries at all about coming here and I really did not even give it much thought until the last couple nights before coming here. Mainly what I am trying to say is that with almost zero effort on my part, God has wonderfully blessed me more than I could have thought. Now if only I could figure out my major... haha.
And now its time for Matt to sleep. Goodnight.
