I am blessed

It's only 23 minutes until Friday! Warrensburg got their first real visit from Jack Frost last night and it was a little icy and quite snowy out this morning. I went to Ecology with the Laurens and Sean. I ran to the bookstore in between classes because I thought I had enough time. The lady at the cash register was taking forever and I was running very short on time. I sprinted to Wood and made it to Writing and Editing 2 minutes late. Thank goodness we didn't have a quiz today or he wouldn't have let me take it. I am so nervous about that class but I am trying to keep an open mind about it.  That class actually seemed to go by faster then Ecology did. I went to lunch after class. Then I had the whole afternoon to myself. Of course I didn't get my book until around 4 so I couldn't get my homework done. I wasted some time on pinterest then played Zumba on the wii for awhile. I am very sore today from working out yesterday and I have a nice blue bruise on my leg from falling into the locker while doing a scorpion. When I finally got my book, I did my reading. Kaitlin came over and hung out for a bit. Mom called and informed me that adult Russell Lasley had passed away in a car wreck today. We went and ate supper at Todd. We went to the bookstore afterwards. Then came back and watched Ms. Congeniality. Kaci came over and watched it with us. Then Sean, Katie, Lauren, Russ and I watched Gnomeo and Juliet. We watched in talking with British accents I might add. I did today's bible reading. I see a lot of people are posting about Russell Lasley and I never knew him. It makes me think of how blessed I am though. I have 2 parents who love me, a sister,brother, a sister in law, 2 nephews and 1 niece, friends and family-all who are always there if I need them. No matter how bad I think my day may be sometimes its really not. God's there making sure of it. I fell kind of bad because this Christmas I was acting selfish which isn't me and I hated feeling that way and because of it, I caused myself and others to not get the most of the day. Sometimes I wonder how much I should exactly put on this blog but then I think about it and I want to know when I go back and read it in the future that thats exactly how I felt. That is what I thought my Freshman year of college. Even those who seem perfect sometime have faults and I know that I am for sure not perfect. No matter how I felt this Christmas, I was 100% truly blessed. I had food, warmth and love. Somethings that a lot of people in this world would kill to have. So from now on when I am feeling down on myself, I just need to remind myself of that. Changing subject a few months ago in church we wrote down 5 things we really want. One of mine was to not have a hard time with school-that I would have an easy semester I guess and that did come true. Two weeks ago at church we wrote five new things. Well this time I decided that I thought something else was more important then having a easy semester and you know what I can tell the difference. Classes do seem harder and I am worrying for no reason of course. I know that I choose to put something else but I just know I made the right decision. Even though I wrote something else, I know God is going to take care of both. He knows the desires of our heart and answers them. I read that tonight in Psalms 37. Well here's to an amazing Friday tomorrow! Please pray for one of my friends' stepmothers, pray for the Lasley family, for Julie Brickey's baby who is home today yay! and for anyone else who needs it. Good night!
