we should all smile more often but unfortunately life is very serious. i think about all the horrid things that happen to people. and i am so naive to the world at large. you know how sometimes you feel really moody and just down in the dumps? well today i had a moment like that. and you know what happened? my friend alicia told me that she wanted me to be good and not just fine. i know lots of people say that all of the time. but for some reason today it made me feel really good. and later i was involved in a conversation about a homeless person. he has no where to live. nothing to eat. he has nothing. i can't even comprehend that. honestly. we say it is so sad but what do we do about it? what CAN we do about it? i don't know. i really don't know. do you? then i step back and look at myself and my life and all the wonderful things that God has done and will continue to do for me and i am in awe. truly, in awe of the power of God. i mean, i can't even get my mind around it. He spoke and things were created. He spoke and things were created. not just things. animals, plants, people! it reminds me of snowdoubt: Jesus is wow. that's the conclusion my small group came to. there are so many words in the english language and not one can come close to Him. what else can you say but wow? i guess all this randomness comes down to that. smile because Jesus is wow.
