I’m not exactly sure where to begin with my thoughts today. There is a lot going on inside my head. I guess I can start with what I am feeling about my focus. This semester has brought in a whole new light. Something was just off last semester. I’m not sure what it was, but it really brought me down. I felt tired all the time, and I had no motivation to get anything accomplished.

This semester, however, I have been more focused and goal driven than I have been in a while. I have been able to wake up early and accomplish so much, without being tempted by the devil for more sleep. I am excited to complete this semester, even though I still have no idea where it is going to lead.

I am making a short documentary about poverty this semester (which I am really excited about), I’m really excited to be graduating, I’ve already met a lot of awesome people this year, my dive group is growing not only in numbers but closer together as well, and I am a part of two of my best friend’s most magical moments in life (their wedding of course).

On other thoughts, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how two people end up together. To me it is completely crazy to think that a little priss pot high maintenance gal, could possibly end up with the manliest outdoorsman in the world. It just absolutely baffles me how sometimes the saying, “opposites attract” really can work out. I’ve also come to realize the beauty of it all too. I think about my parents who really are opposite. My dad is such a carefree, superhard worker, A.d.d. man, with a very humorous side. My mom on the other hand is such a worrier, extremely organized, very status oriented, and an administrative mindset.

It is so strange to me that these two have been together for so long. For some crazy reason it works though. I’ve been learning to accept this. I’ve been learning to accept the fact that the beauty is in the mystery. God planned it that way for a reason. Just when you think you’re ready for one type of person He completely bombards you with another. I really love it, and I’m learning to keep an open mind about circumstances and people.

I’ve found that with an open mind God can open many doors that you never expected before. This is beautiful.

In His Love,
