life

I have written on this blog and too long. Maybe the blame can fall on the fact that college does have a way of making a person busy or maybe I can face the honest truth and just say I haven't been writing because I haven't been thinking.

I write because in the 18 hours or so of the day when I'm awake there is usually something that happens that I want to write down so I will never forget it. Because I'm very prone to forgetting... like the massive theology test I took yesterday. Please don't ask the definition for anything the need for me to remember it is gone.

I digress. Somehow I have gone through days without thinking about why I'm thankful. Why life is wonderful, beautiful, and just extraordinary. A person can get frustrated at their habit of forgetting or they can just simply change.

I lived 2 weeks without a laptop and it was awful. The dinosaur of a computer in the library was very faulty and of little help at all and it makes a person feel like a big pain to always be borrowing.  When my brother who is a computer extraordinaire fixed my computer from 11 hours away I couldn't have been more thankful for the skills God gave to my brother, but not to me.

I'm finished bragging on my brother now.

I'm thankful for all the questions the teacher didn't put on the test. The ones which I might not have remembered and could have made my day a terrible one. I'm really thankful too for the people who like to eat chocolate ice cream with me while we stuff  our brains with facts. Chocolate always helps that process you know.

I'm thankful that I'm not here to be turned into something I'm not, but to be shaped by the grace of God into what He prefers.

That has been a life of late. No I didn't write everything, because well sometimes my life is too complicated to write about. Being thankful should never ever be complicated. I don't think I understand why I forget...maybe because naturally we would rather be absorbed in ourselves?
