Blog Virgin

Today has been such an amazing day. So amazing in fact that it inspired me to start a blog. I had never really considered myself the "blog" type, but it seems like something that you do once you get to college so I figured I would join the band wagon. I don't really know what I will be blogging about hence the "babbling" part of the title. Consider these blogs like an inside look into my life, thoughts, and ideas.  So lets get this started...

I mentioned before that I had a great day today and  there are several reasons why. Not only did Chartwells actually have great food today, but I also got a perfect on my Psych quiz (which is due to the fact that my friend Zach helped me, but it was still a satisfying accomplishment) and I got to have my much anticipated coffee date with my friend Tara. But those are only the superficial reasons why December 8, 2010 was such a great day. The more significant and really the thing that I will remember most is that today I finally became content.

Contentment has been something I have been praying about for a long time now (like 4 months or so).  I have been so busy whining and complaining to God about how unfair my life was and how I didnt have anything I wanted (I call this the Veruca Salt Syndrome). But today was the day that God put everything into perspective for me. He showed me, through a conversation with a friend, what would have been the outcome if I had things me way...and it was not a positive outcome. He showed me that the place where He has put me in, both physically and spiritually, is the best place for me. I am so glad to have this burden of discontent, ingratitude and selfishness off of my back. I am so grateful that God has placed these trials in my life (which is something I never thought I would be able to say). I realize now that God really does have my best in mind and that if I just let go of the reins then He will do amazing thing in and through me.

Well, the computer in the library is giving me my time warning and I still have half a book to read for an assignment due tomorrow (oops). So I'm signing off for now.
