Thought Number One:
A person's personality never quite fits in with life. It's interesting, cuz we all have very different personalities, but we all struggle with some aspect of ourselves (like being really hyper when I should be sleepy). I think God made life so that it's not quite suited to what we want and need. That way we want and need HIM! It's pretty hard to make life go perfectly for you, Type A personality or not. Sometimes I think we need to accept that a situation just isn't gonna work out for us. Then again, determination is important. Ah, it's all a balance I guess. But what if the thing I'm bad at is balancing?? Agh! :)
Thought Number Two:
Jacob was reading from this book "The Heart of the Artist" on Monday at Whiteout rehearsal, and the author had some pretty good points about being an artist (go figure). He/She mentioned that to improve as an artist, we need to continue to experience and take in good art! I like that idea cuz I like art. I want to go to more concerts, art exhibits, dramas, whatever. Good art is so amazing. The author also said that we can experience art that isn't Christ- focused even if our area of art IS Christ-focused. It can still give us ideas on how to connect with an audience and try new methods, etc. So GO EXPERIENCE ART! (Oh, and invite me along please :D)
Thought Number Three:
I don't have a thought number three yet. So I'll improvise. Umm... why is life so busy? Do you ever wish you lived in a different time period? Which one? I wish I lived in the Depression Era, or in the early nineteenth century. Oh goodness... I can just feel someone reading this and starting to fall asleep, or wishing they could fall asleep. Sorry! I feel like all this writing is cliché and tacky. Blah :P
Thought Number Four:
Somehow I managed a fourth thought even after a lame improvised third! Okay- how do you decide who to be friends with? Not that there's a limit, but you know how there's those people who are just casual acquaintances and those people you're super close to? Why is that? The Bible tells Christians to love everyone, but I've been told that doesn't mean "be friends with everyone." I mean, some people would just never get along with me enough to be my friend! Can I still love them? Are you friends with people who are similar than you, or different? Or both?? If you're like me and you're friends with all sorts of different people, what's stopping you from befriending someone who you think is a little weird? What is your standard that you compare "weird" people to anyway? Yourself? Maybe it's YOU that's weird! Is there someone that you want to be friends with but you're not? Well get going!
Thought Number Five:
Last one, I promise. You should read The Message bible. It's really good.
"Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, "How can I help?" Romans 15
If you read this entire thing, congrats! Oh, plus Jesus and I love you! And YOU'RE WORTH IT!
lots of agape love and hugs forever,
k (:
