Thankful Thursday: Serendipity

I love it when inspiration comes from the most unlikely sources...Was upset today at some point, like really really...Stumbled on Brittney Gray's youtube channel; haven't been on in ages..and hey paradigm shift..good video on peoples attitudes and how it's easy to get desensitized and apathic from media we let affect us, and a whole bunch of things that made me aware of my own apathy in recent times...Plus all that hair stuff just inspires! and when we are inspired...the world is a better place..

I am a stubborn person...typing this is hard..i'm supposed to be learning self control and restraint from all this expressiveness...speaking of which..it's one of the few things i get carried away with..i start out timid..curb here, call it discipline there...and before you know it i'm running a bootcamp on myself...i find myself starting to watch those videos again on Youtube..starting to give food the side eye...i don't want to slip down this road again..but resisting it ends me in that place where i am angry at me for having no control..and on and on and on...

I am thankful for life

I am thankful for my friends...they are a lovely bunch, them...

I am thankful for music

I am thankful for inspiration...lol seminar class was productive scribblewise...long story short...do things for you, not grudgingly for "somebody else". See the ways in which whatever you are doing is a plus for YOU before anything else. Call it experience, call it growth, call it learning..like one of my fave verses says..do things as though you were doing them for God and not for man...do it all with a song in your heart..in my case..study not because the lecturer doesn't know the definition and REALLY needs your copied work to make his life better, but because knowledge is everything, and once you have it, nobody can take it away from you...it has added to who you are, and there's no reverse function..this is just one example...There is wisdom in the bible

I am thankful for wisdom

I am thankful for chaos

I am thankful for the order we find in the midst of the chaos...or is it the order we create? there is a pattern, thus potential in the chaos...so yea..we find it..it is all inbuilt..we just have to learn to read..like life..all the answers are here..we just have to learn to read..

I am thankful for empathy

I am thankful for awareness

I am thankful for warmth

I am thankful that he is always there for me...

I am thankful that he is who he is, just the way he is...i love my boyfriend much!

I am thankful for Him..

I am thankful for my relationship with Him..conventional "formulas" and guides to Him work not for me...Which i believe is the most honest conclusion a person can come to. There is no such thing as a mass relationship. You and a multitude cannot be in a committed relationship. Sorry. There are other names for that. Each person is supposed to find God, define God in relation to himself, and only then will there be any truth in whatever you have going. I cannot have a relationship with a person based on hearsay or the way they were/are with someone else. God is not into mass production. It is an individual thing...different people produce different relationships...if you decide that your God is a tyrant..na you sabi...the God in my life created bunnies. yes, bunnies. And kittens..that sort of God is cool like!

Lol which brings me to my favourite place...My God made bunnies. And waterfalls, and forests and skies, and oceans and fields, flowers and me....if one more ignorant dumbass asks "then why does He allow wars?" I will smite them dammit. Oh...so....maybe God should just kill you and live instead of you then? make you into a zombie and control you into not causing the war? cuz you know, last time i checked, God never came down and shot anybody...again people refusing to take responsibility..Ingratitude..all God ever put in this world was beauty...people came, wrecked that, and have the audacity to ask for more...oh and while God is running about living for them, could He for crying out loud give them some freedom? democracy? #God is Great, beer is good...and people are crazy!...crazy! ingrate population. That's one of the original sins...Greed...gimme more, gimme more..even if i haven't learned what ought to be done with that i've been given..just give me everything! On the debate of the original sin, i maintain they are several. Greed is ranked highly.

I am thankful for enlightenment...

I am thankful for people who want to learn, want to grow, put aside prejudice and seek meaning..

I am thankful that i have such people in my life

I am thankful that ignorant people melt into the shadows of my life

I am thankful that i am so thoroughly blessed...even when i don't feel like i've done anything to deserve it...lol especially when i'm undeserving..

I am thankful that He does not abandon me...He must have a plan...for even at the peak of my rebeliousness...He's inspiring me? what gives?

Seriously..i don't think it's clear how blessed i am...it's like the cartoons where trees bend for you to cross rivers and birds bring you three course meals while the stars come down and make you a tiara..THATs how blessed i am...no really...*sigh* nobody gets it...

Now...I am thankful that i started the TTs..because they put these blessings in perspective..it's so easy to take for granted and wallow in self pity and unhappiness...just let the misery grow exponentially...now that is a sin, no? I am thankful for the TTs because i learn and grow with each one i write...while i write...i make them up as i go, see...so until i write...i don't know...i don't know anything...

I am thankful for family

I am thankful for S's messages

I am thankful that S is on my mind last thing every night and first thing before i open my eyes...in its own way, it eases the distance...i know he's there...
