Truly Blessed I Am

Yesterday was thanksgiving, well actually two days ago technically because it's past 12 am. I don't want to ramble on and on about how thankful I am about my family, my friends and for my life. Even though I am. But I really am thankful for EVERYTHING around me. The air I breathe. The stapler I use to staple my assignments. The teachers to give me assignments. The electricity to let me use this laptop to type this blog. Thomas Edison who discovered electricity. All these things just add up to ONE ORDINARY day.. but seriously, there's NOTHING ordinary about it! I mean seriously, for example.. my cell phone? It's my everyday necessity to have with me. I have it with me EVERYWHERE I GO. But if you think deeply about it, inside there are thousands of little cell thingys! I don't even know what they're called because I'm not a technological person but those cells make service and service allows us to text and call people. And think about it, at one push of a button you can talk to somebody 7,000 miles away from you. I have no idea how this is even possible! I can't even wrap my head around 7,000 miles!!!! It's seriously so overwhelming. So if a minor thing like a cellphone is so intricate... I wonder how profound something as huge as the power of God is. I am not one to say that I have never made a mistake before, and I don't think you are either, whoever you are.. But the fact that God STILL loves us.. no matter what sin we make. Whether it be a lie or a murder, He still forgives us. I think that truth is just a million times more to wrap my puny little mind around. The fact that his FLAWLESS son had to DIE for MY sins and your sins! That's simply unfathomable for me. I am thankful for every object, every bacteria, ever human being, and anything I've ever come across in my whole 15 years, 2 months and 14 days of being alive. Because without it I wouldn't be who I am today.

Mom, it's gonna be a exasperating 5 weeks without you. I have no idea what I'm gonna do! I've been eating out all day.. and you barely left.. THIS MORNING. I'm gonna miss you and though I don't tell you everyday, I love you!
