No more numbers.


Today i'm confused. 

I'm a generally emotional person and I feel deep empathy for those around me, all the time. It's not a selling point but it's who i've always been. With the plane shot down over Ukraine today, I'm confused. I haven't particularly read deeply into the situation, but from what I've seen at a glance, the world scares me. It's times like this when I shy away from just about everything and just keep to myself. I don't want to be one of those people who flies through life, fearless, thinking nothing can touch me, but I also don't want to be one of those people, walking through life terrified to turn a corner. I am not either of those right now, most of the time I consider myself generally apathetic to my surroundings, when it comes to things others consider a big deal. I pray, and thank God for a country where I am free, and go on with my day. One thing that bothers me is when others say things like, "Well this freedom might not last" or things like that. That's like going to a marriage saying first thing, "Well we might get divorced". Yes things CAN happen, but speaking of them only makes it more likely. Everyone knows that you can't be completely aware of what is going to happen at all times. Be thankful for the moment. The moment where you can chose to drive your car to the store, get something you WANT to eat, and sit and enjoy the sunshine while you eat it. There are so many little things that I am thankful for that I've taken for granted before.

-I have a job, and I get to use my money that I make there to make a life for myself.
-I have a family that loves me, and is close to me, not separated from me.
-I can go to church and worship God freely on Sundays. My favorite day of the week.
-I have food! Gosh, and clean water. With the amount of water I drink a day, goodness knows I'm thankful for water that is drinkable.


And those are just a few things that I cruise through life and don't think about.

Just a quick note to get me back into the loop of things.
Sorry for my absence. It won't last much longer.
