Last Firsts

Well, Today Was The Day. The First Day of School. I've been dreading this all year and just hoping that summer would just be prepetual. Unfortunatly, God didn't smile on this request. I woke up at 6:50 and the day started. So much happened today. I realized my last firsts today. It was the last first day of school. Undoubtedly, there are many more to come. I also had lots of work to do. Schedule changes, senior adjustments, locker switches, essays, info, ,my job....the list goes on and on. So this whole day sounds horrid....right?

Actually no. It was actually exactly what it needed to be. A day where I had...Absolutly HAD, to rely on God. Throughout the day, I was throwing the pity party all day long in my head. But then, as I walked out of the doors of Central Center Hardware, I realized that it was perfect. I prayed all day long, thanked God for life all day long, and depended on Him....All day long!!! It was just what I needed to realize how much I needed Him. My life is so much better than I deserve and all I could think about was how bad school was. I deserve nothing I have and have it better off than most and all I could do is be selfish. God really smacked me in the face to be honest. He woke me up to who I was being and who I needed to be. Goal for the year: to make sure that all my last first's reflect Christ through me. I feel this is appropriate:

Things that God Has Blessed Me With Today:
  1. I woke up and was alive
  2. I rode to school with Lauren
  3. I made it to school alive
  4. I didn't make anyone mad today
  5. I saw all my friends except Joe
  6. I got my own locker on the right end of school
  7. I get to be with Lauren 2 periods in a row
  8. I made it to work safe and out safe
  9. I ate all 3 meals
  10. God smacked me in the face. (yes, this is a blessing)
See, these are just but a speck of the blessings that I recieved today. Just remember, even the worst could be the best, and sometimes your first is your last first.

God Bless,
-D.j.
