Thank You.

Hey everyone,

Well, I've got some stuff I need to get off my chest before I begin blogging. I just wanted to say thank you to those of you that read this. It means so much to me that you take the time to listen to and hear out what I have to say. It's a really nice feeling to see a comment on one of my posts. It lets me know that I'm not just typing this and no one is getting anything from it.
Anyways! Onto the blogging. I've never really thought about posting this as an entry before, but I guess God's put it on my heart to talk about. Feelings. Emotions. We all have them, we all suffer from them, depending on how you look at it. Personally, I'm not always a fan of them. Like today. I had a horrible day. All I wanted to do was go home, cry and eat chocolate. It was bad. But I toughed it out, got through it all and tuned everyone out while listening to my Ipod on the bus ride home.
Then, I guess I kind of had this epiphany. Even when I'm feeling horrible, or sad or hurt or happy, God created that EXACT feeling for a reason. Whether it be to learn something, to feel how others feel, anything. And that is so powerful. There's a quote I really like, and it goes like this.
'Without suffering, there would be no compassion.'.
It's like Neuton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Think about it. What you're feeling has a million other things linked to it.

There's no challenge for today. I just wanted to put my thoughts out there.

Thanks guys, for alot.
Happy Tuesday.

  3. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

    Thats not actually true, its not actually a action/reaction relationship as one doesn't occur first to cause the other... what can i say, im a physics geek ><

  4. Caleb, I'm a huge physics geek to, but you sometimes need to suspend reality in favor of Becky getting her point across.
