Life is back to "normal" at home. Schedules are set in motion, and the little things in life are now becoming "important" details in the way I live my life at home. Its like that "God" thing, or other important stuff can just be put on hold. They are themes for my life, that means I don't have to deal with them now. Right...? Lol. I'm trying to escape that mindset, and I find myself in it in places I didn't see before. The mundane things take over. The things that are of no real consequence run our lives. Sure, things must be done, and in those mundane things, we can show God's character. But I'm trying not to let those distract from actual life.
I've been trying to call myself out on things. When I wake up in the morning, I try to thank God. I'm alive, breathing, and able to see, hear, taste, smell, and stand and walk. Incredible this gift of life. Also, Before I go to bed, I try to do something that is meaningful, so that if it were to be my last night, I would be content with the way things ended. Thats why I'm trying to read instead of watching TV.
Sarah came up this weekend, and it was awesome. Nobody quite has such an approach to studying anything in life. I'm quite the opposite. I'm very surface level. It is a wonderful thing to be able to have a friend with such different questions and with a different thought process than me. I want to be able to really own things. Not just accept them.
Food at home has been incredible. Working out, not as much. lol. Going to go head off to do my cool things now. My bow is temporarily out of order (there is friction along the cam that I don't like), so I guess its working out, reading, or banjo!!!
