Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about appreciation. I mean, my life hasn't been exactly the easiest lately, but it is amazing all the wonderful things God has been placing in my life to counter the hardship.. But the thing to remember is that grace sometimes comes in the smallest ways, but that doesn't mean it doesn't leave a big impact.
The little things leave the biggest impacts on our hearts... at least that is something that I believe. For example, a smile from a friend when you are having a bad day can change that bad day into a better one.
So here is my goal for this summer.. or rather one for my life. Always appreciate the small things. They make up life... now I want to tell you about the last few days because they have been really really awesome.
.
- Friday night I went to riverfest with some friends... We watched the fireworks together. It was just one of those moments when, even though things aren't perfect in life, it reminds that there is hope.
- Friday late night the same group of friends and I went to Mcdonald's and tried to drive an "invisible car" through the drive thru. It didn't work haha... but I did something I'd never thought I'd do.
- Saturday morning my and a friend when to Taco Bell at 11:30 in the morning... in our pajamas.
- Saturday afternoon I went to the lake for a friends birthday party... I got to go tubing with one of my best friends in the whole wide world.
- Saturday night I saw a dear friend in a dance recital... She is so beautiful. And I can't help but smile when I think of how talented she is.
- Sunday night I headed back to riverfest... saw a country concert (another thing I thought I'd never do) and then hung out at sonic afterwards.
It's been a wonderful past couple of days... and I'm incredibly blessed. Those are the things that pull me through when I am feeling down... and I am forever grateful.
Kelly, I love it! Your reflections are so beautiful!! And you are such a beautiful young woman of Faith. I love you!!
