Blessings.

A good way to have a better perspective on life? Simply count your blessings. Today I was just sitting around my apartment, and I started to think about how blessed my life is. I tend to get caught up in the bad, in the struggles and the suffering, but I have so much to be thankful for! Sure, sometimes I might not get hot water or heat, I might not have built in air conditioning, much food or always functioning internet. But I still get an apartment all to myself with running water, enough food to fill my stomach, a roof over my head, and people to spend time with in this little 3 room living space. Not only that, but I have all these extras like TV, a personal laptop, a comfortable bed, dishes to cook and eat with, and every once in a while a little extra money to spend on entertainment. Plus I've got God to turn to in all instances, which is so amazing.

Now I get to go to Cru, where I have the opportunity to spend time with a couple hundred fellow college students and worship God as a collective body! The first time I went to Cru, I was overwhelmed with how many college students were taking responsibility for their faith and came to worship the same amazing God, and to tell the truth it still captivates me!
