Tonight I sat in the back of my best friends truck out in the country, and we watched the heat lightening under the stars. Sometimes I need things like that. Just simple good conversation with good friends and...heat lightening. The simplicity of it all makes it that much more enjoyable, I think. And it's always nice to bask in things like that. Just to know that not only did God create you...but He created that electronic-like squiggle in the sky.
So, we're all broken...yeah. I was thinking about that. As meteocre as my struggles may seem to be or as big as they are...I'm not alone. And this is a comfort. Yet this also allows me to see how selfish I am. How I shouldn't let things so small, sit for so long. While I just stubbed my toe and am sprawled out on my floor wincing in pain...ever 6 seconds someone dies of starvation in Africa. As I struggle to find meaning in my destructive life, someone tries to find meaning in why God took away their parent. As I become so easily angered by things that don't matter, a little girl comes to peace about finding out Santa Clause isn't real. Heat lightening can really put things into perspective :).
