Last night in Romans 1, I read this: "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened."
Whoa. It is super important that I am continually showing gratitude to my Father for all of the gifts he gives me. I know I used to express my gratitude with blog posts on my old blog, but somehow I lost that in the move and I just began expressing things that made me joyful. As important as that is, sometimes I am grateful for the things that don't really make me all that joyful at all. All of this to say, I have no idea what I want to do with my blog posts. I just know that I need to express my gratitude tonight. I am grateful for... ...off-campus dinners cooked by people who love and care about me. ...4-year olds. Even when they are terribly disobedient. ...Todd Stephens and every ounce of wisdom that falls from his mouth. ...really hard conversations that span days and come to beautiful conclusions. ...every talk Adam Christian has given in the past 4 days. He has been killing it and his presence in my life is something that is beyond valuable and I don't know what I would do without. ...mothers. ...everything that those three pictures above mean to me. ...friends who still want to be with me and value my time even if I'm not around a lot of the time. ...being able to do homework at work. ...getting free dark chocolate at work - seriously I was so pumped about this. I am always grateful for chocolate. ...missing one-on-one time with people, it is so hard, but it makes me realize how much I love them. ...honesty. Being honest with myself and with others. ...claiming that God is bigger than my fear and that he is present. ...all of my friends' blogs. They make my day. ...winter and how it has inspired a bout of creativity inside of me.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
