Forgiveness & Grace

I get these really deep blog post ideas, and then I go and do something and totally forget it.

Today, was well, a bit dramatic.
I got an opportunity taken away (I think), fell of the long board, and uh, i still don't think my parents have changed their minds.

I am working on forgiveness and grace right now. I am not the quickest to forgive or the quickest to give grace. Today was a great example of grace I did not receive, and forgiveness I don't know if i am willing to give. But, then, in the Lord's prayer, we ask God to forgive us as we have forgiven others. So what makes me expect to be forgiven if I am not willing to forgive others?

I, i guess you could say, have a tendency to get disappointed over big things, and yes, little. but I just feel like its and end-of-the-world situation, but I know its not. i just wish that situations like this would stop happening to me.

It is incredible to know that God always forgives, and i think i will come to forgive.

Actually scratch that, i know i will forgive.

I want to leave you in the truth that forgiving is worth it.

Have a great Wednesday.

The joy in the big, little, and giant.

I am finding more and more how much the little things matter. Like the little blister I have on my foot...painful. Or like a night spent staring at the night sky looking at the moon and stars watching the bats dance in the sky, all while talking to my best friend.

Today, Labor day, I had the blessed opportunity to go and spend time with some of my favorite people on earth, well more like 50 of them. 

Currently, i am watching a recap of the Super Bowl, what a sad day, and just trying to remember all that has gone down today. Seriously, it is all a blur.

Here are some bits and pieces of my day:

1) I got to see people that i had not seen from about a week to about a year ago.

2) I long-boarded till I got this little (more like giant) blister on my foot)

3) I worked a little on biology

4) Thought about and thanked Jesus for all that He has given me. 

I just think about how different my life would be if I did not know the people I know today.

Sorry for the short post, but remember to be thankful for who is in your life, I hope ya'll have a fabulous week!!
