Joy and Contentment

I've been home for about a week now and I must say it's really not fun, I have nothing to do (well I don't have enough to do). But I realized that even though I don't like it there is really no reason for me to not be happy. So even though I still don't have a job, I miss my friends, and I don't like living at home there is something to be learned from all of this and I should be happy for the opportunity to grow.

I have made a decision to have a better week this coming week, this will solely depend on my outlook on life right now not on what actually happens to me. After all I cant control what happens to me just how I view it.

The End of an Age

Well in two days I will be gone from here. I'm not sure how I will react to leaving everyone it doest yet seen real because I am not actually separated from everyone yet. I'm pretty sure I will be fine when I'm saying goodbye to everyone but once I get home it will hit me and I will start crying. I've made some great friends here and even though I know that I will eventually loose contact with many of them I am so excited for the friendships that will last for a long time yet. Last night I was talking with a friend who grew up at WWC (the directors son) and he was saying how PBU solidifies many of the friendships that are made here, hearing that made me really excited for my next step, my step to PBU.

Matthew 6:25-34 (ESV)

"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first^" the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
