perspective

I read my previous blogs and mentally smack myself for all the complaining I do. It's so easy get caught up in the problems of life and forget all the incredible blessings that God has given us. I know it sounds like a cliche, but it's really true; I'm not saying that the bad things that happen aren't legitimate, but in perspective of the world and all it's problems, my getting evil looks from the show cast and not being able to go home more than once a year are absolutely nothing. Instead, I need to be thanking God for giving me the opportunity to attend college away from home that has a theatre program confident enough to hand the reigns of it's final show of the year over to a freshman. I should be thanking God every day when I wake up instead of going over the list of crappy things I have to do that day.

God,
I'm so sorry for being ungrateful. You have literally given me more than alot of people in this world will ever hope to have. Please help me to keep my priorities straight and remember that as tough as things are for me right now, they're tougher for someone else. Thank you for everything you've given me...Help me to trust you in everything and have faith that your plan will follow through in my life. Thank you for being...You.
