What about the simple things in life that are amazing? A nice run on a brisk morning. A newly lit candle that smells like vanilla. Baking brownies on a rainy afternoon. Watching Modern Family or The Office every week. Being around those who share the same beliefs as me. I could go on and on.
Today was just an average day. I baked for Clarity, but other than that, just average. I was still in a daze from spending time with a certain someone yesterday, but that usually goes away within a day or so. But what made today so amazing was actually what happened after 8 p.m.
Clarity was amazing tonight. I had a wonderful time speaking honestly with fellow Christians who are dealing with the same things I am. We had such a great discussion tonight. I felt so comfortable sharing my heart, which is something that rarely happens to me. Not to mention, I learned about others who I didn't know much about.
I came back home, thinking I would go to bed and wake up for another day. Instead, I got a phone call from a friend who I dearly miss from home. I never thought I would miss someone so much that wasn't in my family, but I do. I am beginning to realize what friendship truly means. I want more days exactly like today. Beginning, middle and end. Well, throw in a job that I love and I'd have it all.
But that goes against what God wants for us. At Clarity, we talked about doing God's will instead of our own, which is one of the hardest things for me to do as a Christian. As with everyone else on this temporary home we call Earth, I am not perfect. I don't try to be. I try to live every day, every moment, for Christ, in hopes that someone's life will be changed because of it. That's all I ask.
