I need to blog a bit. I get home from a 2 1/2 hour class (that let out early) and not being home all day to a flood of e-mails from students asking me to e-mail them an assignment that I have sent to them back in November/December. This is also the 4th time I e-mailed to remind them about it. Ugh...and on top of that I don't feel great and haven't all day. Ok...done venting...thanks for putting up with that.
Anyway, besides the rain and snow and ice we had between last night and today the roads are a bit tricky. On my way home I had to pass an accident but I only saw two cop cars and an ambulance...it reminds me of how quickly our lives can be taken away. There are a lot of accidents happening, but only God knows when and where you and I will be taken from this world. Personally, the thought of living forever with God in Heaven is both exciting and a tad unnerving. I'm excited because I know I will be with my Savior and be able to worship Him all the days of my life. It's unnerving because I think about things I want to accomplish before I die...get married, finish grad school, have a kid or two, see them grow up, have grandkids...the list is very personal and my goals in life. I know God has a better plan for me and is showing me his plans every day. I am grateful that I can live in an apartment, have wonderful friends, a loving family, a job I enjoy, and a healthy life. That is really all I should need and sometimes there are days I just want more....more money, better friendships, healthier life, a boyfriend...you get the idea. I know I'm only human and only God knows how to fulfill the void in my life right now and reading a Proverb a day because of the fast is helping me see what God is trying to teach me.
What is he trying to teach you? What are you filling your void with?
Top 5 for the day:
1. Starting grad school and getting back into "student" mode
2. Coming home to an e-mail from a parent just to say "I hope you're having a great day"
3. Texts, hugs, and "good luck" from coworkers, friends, and family for grad school
4. Seeing and hearing the American and Korean students sing a Korean song in chapel
5. Catching up with a former "small group girl" on her new college life
