It's been entirely too long.

it's been entirely too long since i've written a blah(g). i obviously haven't kept up with that two-week blogging that i previously stated. it's been much longer then two weeks since my last entry. anywho. as of late my mind keeps switching from one thing to another so fast it's hard for me to keep up. even tonight my mind has switched from a hundred different things within the span of a few minutes. just watching the sunset tonight was the calmest i've been in quite a while. just sitting outside feeling the cool, and at times chilly breeze watching the sheer beauty of the sun setting was immensely calming. it was just one more example of how God is in control of everything. just trying to process all of the things being thrown at me at once; the beauty of the sunset, the chilly air, the softness of the grass, the simple delight in hearing kevin playing the banjo, reading the psalms, hearing the bugs buzzing, etc., i couldn't take it all in. i was overwhelmed. overwhelmed, not by the things going on around me, but overwhelmed by my Savior and how good He is. perfect in all His ways. simultaneously reading psalm 7, 8 and 9 were just amazing testimonies of how truly good my Lord is. All of creation speaks to the glory of His name. the rocks need not cry out because the sun is enough for me to shout 'glory!'. currently sitting in my room on my desk beautifully highlighted by my algebra textbook is a mug of hot pomegranate tea lightly sweetened with sugar. it is delightful. in the background is the amusing sounds of my hall mates discovering something i'm sure is hilarious on youtube or something of the sort, and the muffled music of needtobreathe's album the outsiders soon to change to something else that requires a little less attention so i can focus on the small pile of homework that has accumulated. the book that needs to be read for new testament. the math problems that seem endless. the new box of cinnamon life that is begging to be eaten. as well as the box of capt'n crunch which will not be vanquished by ants this time due to my insightful buying of plastic bags that will keep [hopefully] the cereal from getting stale, and simultaneously keep the ants out. as i sit here at this desk i can see a figi apple sitting gracefully next to my computer silhouetted by harsh white light. the apple, however, is a lovely golden yellow with sporadically places red splotches which makes me want to eat it all the more. the apple i had at dinner proved to be nearly perfect. i say nearly because i was done with it entirely too soon, and in my professional opinion it should have been bigger. i feel that this night has been kind to me. not too much homework. hot tea. sunset with kevin. hall camaraderie. an overall good evening. i feel all warm inside even though my feet are a little cold. currently i am content with the world. Lord make me more content. remove from me envy, deceit, and every vile thing. make me more like your Son. allow me to be a reflection of you to those around me. even on cloudy days when it seems to rain, allow me to be a flashlight in the dark. allow me to be a torch, no, a bonfire for you oh Lord. make me the man you would have me to be. make me Your man.
