Chasing Pavements

I've given my last post more thought, but that isn't why I'm blogging it up today. All day I've been thinking about how I've finally surrounded myself with people that love and care about me. People who don't sugar coat things even when I really want them to. Its definitely helping me on my journey through life. Its so relieving to know that people have my back. I also am really thankful for the people who have given me opportunities to experience things and new ways of thinking. I wouldn't be the person I am without those select few.

Alright, was that mushy enough for the present company? I'm sure it was. I just thought I'd share my nice little epiphany with ya'll. 

When it was freak thunder storming earlier today I went outside and parked my keister on my patio and just let myself get lost in the sound of the thunder and the humidity of the air and the overall thunder stormy-ness. It was powerful and it made me think about how powerful God is. That led me to wonder where the human race would be without his love. What if he wasn't a merciful God? What if he wasn't all forgiving and ever-patient. What if he didn't wait for us to get ourselves together and live in his image? I had all these questions surging through my head, some scientific and others theological, and all of a sudden my mind cleared and I had a sense of peace. It was like God was telling me to be at peace right then and not to worry, like he was reassuring me that he had it handled. It was awesome.

I don't know what else to say, but I'll blog later with more thoughts and feelings. I have a party to go to.
