So I guess I've passed the intro post, and now I have to decide when I want to blog and what I actually want my blog to be about. But, I am making a promise, or at least a goal for myself:
I want to post every day.
Or write everyday, that is. It's something I try to do already, but this gives we a reason to, a necessary thing. And I feel like that is something we need in every aspect of our lives: accountability. Accountability in writing everyday. Accountability in going to class everyday.
Accountability in being positive. In focusing on the present, not the past. Focusing on what is here, on what I have, and what is Good. And God is Good.
Accountability is important to me. And it's important that I find people to hold me to what I need to accomplish.
In my 10 AM Calculus class, there is this guy that sits next to me and walks to his next class with me. And every day we have class, he proceeds to tell me about what he has accomplished for God on that day. And regardless of what day it is, whether we've had an exam or a terribly confusing problem, whether the sun is shining or it's pouring buckets, he always has a smile on his face and an amazing, uplifting story about the opportunities he has seized to share the gospel. And every single day, he asks me what I am thankful for.
At first the question psyched me out. What am I thankful for? Some days I honestly would be thankful for the day just to end. But when you're staring at a smile, it's hard to think like that. And it makes me think...I am so thankful for so many things. So many people. And so, so many opportunities.
God made me with a plan in mind, and though it's hard for me to comprehend the fact that there is an endpoint someday, it makes me remember just how thankful I am to live for that plan. Because no matter what, He's got this. No matter how badly I fail, He'll pick me right back up.
Now when the question comes, I'm expecting it. And I live my mornings thinking of all the things I am thankful for, so I can answer his question with a smile, too.
Some days I am thankful for the sunshine. Some days, I'm thankful for the good people that have stepped into my life since college started. Some days, it's just the fact that I am breathing in the air God made for me.
I'm hoping this blog is one of those opportunities, and I'm hoping I make good use of it.
So peace out, my Popcorn's.
