Quick Thoughts

....I'll catch up more later. But for now this is what I have been considering a lot lately.

His mercy.

A quote from a girl named Tyra on one my favorite t.v. shows, Friday Night Lights, regarding a college application essay:

"Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything.
I figured wanting would lead to trying and trying would lead to failure.
But now I find that I can't stop wanting.
I want to fly somewhere in first class.
I want to travel to Europe on a business trip.
I want to get invited to the White House.
I want to learn about the world.
I want to surprise myself.
I want to be important.
I want to be the best person that I can be.
I want to define myself instead of having others define me.
I want to win, and have people be happy for me,
I want to lose and get over it.
I want to not be afraid of the unknown.
I want to grow up to be generous and big hearted, the way that people have been with me.
I want an interesting and surprising life.

It's not that I think I'm going to get all of these things,
I just want the possibility of getting them.
College represents possibility.
The possibility that things are going to change. I can't wait.."

The reality that HE is where my contentment and joy is. Not in my close relationships, proximity of those I love, where I live, my school, my job, my money....etc. I already have it all.

Cherishing His word.
