...estoy perezosa

its true. i am completely and totally lazy. I am sitting at school, in the library. it is new, and there are rows and rows of computers here on which to do research and write profound things. but am i doing that? no. of course not. I am so unmotivated its almost funny. but hey, at least i'm not like the guys across from me all sharing earbuds and laughing at an unidentified screen trying, unsuccessfully, to be subtle. tragic, really. THEY should be doing homework too. and if they don't have to, why should i? see. my logic is really quite flawless.

College is a fascinating thing. being around hundreds and hundreds of students who come and go from class to class..."learning." some far more motivated than others. And just now, as in twenty seconds ago, this guy next to me just asked me to watch his stuff while he went somewhere. i am actually quite flattered that he trusts me... I mean, in this place, you can really trust no one. I don't mind telling you that i have absolutely NO interest in snagging a snack from his well-insulated lunch cooler, or copying his utterly fascinating spreadsheet of physics data. i guess one doesn't have to be super trustworthy to watch his things. unless they were science and insulated-lunch-box geeks.


Anyways, back on point. This place is a myriad of people, buildings, ideas, lifestyles, religions, shapes, sizes, gpa levels and so much more. And here i am, so small...so utterly unknown and uncared about, and yet so significant to Someone who matters most.


This building is the CLA building and is really only known as "The Pointy Building." I think it is one of our greatest accomplishments. And its architecture is quite amazing, when you walk around it. but everytime i see it, the point drawas my head up and seems to be a beacon pointing to heaven. The day i took the picture was cloudy, but on a day like today when the sky is perfect blue and the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is blowing, It seems as though someone's grand architectural scheme is my reminder of who to thank for the day and all the blessings it holds. I am continually in awe of how amazing life is. I was thinking the other day that in the midst of trouble, doubt, and terrible days, God provides little signs to me to show me how much He loves me. Things like a full moon setting in the Western sky, clear mountains reflecting the sun with a pink glow, a dog who loves me unconditionally, a text from my dad asking how my day is going, a cluster of bright purple flowers, my favorite song on the radio. And so often i miss them, or don't see them as a gift. And then i wonder why God doesn't care and leave me here to figure out things on my own. mmm how silly i am sometimes.
take five and enjoy the moment in time, right now...discover the little gifts God has been leaving you today. The ways in which he's telling you He cares about you and wants you to know that truth about Him.
