On my drive home last night I was listening to john mayer… I think he has some good words to say. His song about daughters is pretty sweet… I hope that guys listen to it and it reminds them that yes the way they treat their daughters will affect many more in the future. I hope that I am alright…. And that if and when I get married and have kids I hope that I will raise them knowing that they too will affect many others lives. yesterday was a great day…. Quite possibly the best one for me in awhile. I spent good time with james and micah in the morning climbing and well trying to accomplish routes that I was oh so unsuccessful at, but I enjoy it and that was good. We listened to some quality music and I enjoyed my fellowship with two bros that I haven’t seen enough recently. Hmmm. I also spent the afternoon with micah and we hung out doing different things and also got to see dave, shawn, and eric who are also guys I enjoy being around. Basically a good day. I crave this sort of fellowship…. I sure don’t have it at poly, but I am thankful that I have it anywhere. Hmmm… oh yes I was also listening to avril lavigne at the climbing gym and then I heard her numerous times on the radio throughout the day… I hadn’t thought about it in awhile, but she is talented. I give her credit for writing her own music and not doing what everyone else thinks she should… that takes guts. She has some good things to say and I admit that I like some of her angry girl songs when I am feeling down about boy stuff. Lame I know, but it’s good to know that even a rich musical artist like herself has “boy issues”. Another highlight to my day… I was able to take a compliment. I tend to be really awful at that, but today was a success. I think it’s important to realize that God has made us wonderfully and we are insulting his creation to deny or reject compliments. Just a thought.
Jesus thank you for friends and for reminding me that I am loved. Thank you for never leaving my side and placing me in times of loneliness to draw me closer to you. You have made me perfect in your image and although I struggle to see that and when I look in the mirror I see complete dissatisfaction and someone unworthy of love you have called me your chosen. I am blessed and if I fail to notice that I am overlooking the obvious. You my friends are wonderful and Jesus you are even better… you provide and you can take away… thank you!
