It is finally winter in Oswego. Yes it is. I was excited about it at first, but now I jsut want it to be over already, haha. It is beautiful though. I've realized that the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars are my favorite part of God's creation. I am always so awestruck by the bright sunsets, and sunrises, and then the subtle, darker night sky with the moon and stars shining brightly (if it's not cloudy). And sometimes, even the clouds add to the amazing beauty. Yeah. Not sure what brought that on, but oh well. Jsut thought I'd share.
Continuing forward, people need to start sleeping in their own beds. I don't care who it is or what their excuse is, it's just not cool. Things like that can reflect badly on us as Christians, get people who don't know us well thinking negatively about who we are and whether we really believe what we say we do or not. Enough said on that.
I was sitting in my Sophomore Seminar, one of the most boring classes I have ever had, and I was lost in my own thoughts. All of a sudden, I came to a wonderful realization. It was actually because this girl was talking about something that happened when she was in the ROTC. It made me think back to high school, when I was exploring future paths after graduation. At the time, I was the goody two shoes and pretty much did whatever my parents said. They decided to have me look into joining the ROTC, so that afterward, I would be able to get a free college education. So one day, there was a recruit at my school and my mom and I went to talk to him. Come to find out, I weighed too much to join. I have always struggled with my weight, and I've always been self-conscious of it. But in class today, it hit me that at that moment in time, my being on the heavier side was a blessing. Why, may you ask? Let me tell you. Because if I had been able to join, who knows where I'd be now, but it probably wouldn't be right here, sitting in this crowded computer lab, reflecting on God's blessings. I probably wouldn't be saved, and what not. But because I couldn't join due to my weight, I am sitting here in this crowded computer lab, saved and reflecting on God's blessings in my life. How about that?
There's this wonderful book I'm reading, whose title shall remain anonymous. I was talking to Lisa about it and how I wished everyone could read it. And I said something about how it would be cool if there was a book study on it or something. And she said, "Well, maybe you're the one who's supposed to lead the book study." I found it really interesting. I usually hate discussion groups, let alone having to lead one. But I'm learning to keep different windows of opportunity open because you never know what God is going to do in your life. Maybe He does want me to, maybe He doesn't. It's definitely something I will be praying about.
On anything else I might have to say, I plead the 5th. Good day ladies and gents.
