I really want to post a blog, but I'm not really sure what I want to write about. Hm, this is a problem.
So... I was thinking about going back to school and everything. I think I mentioned this before. I'm not looking forward to being one of two Christians in my school. I'm also not looking forward to being around immature teenagers. I know that sounds lame. But I am so sick of the drama and the attitude of everyone. I can't exclude myself from this either, but I am so sick of the kids from my school acting like the world is against them.
They must not get it. They must not understand how freaking lucky we are. Yet they act like idoits. It's so frustrating. Why are we so concerned with ourselves.
I've noticed something. When I watch documentaries and videos of kids in Africa they are sooo happy. There's this video put out by Invisible Children (which I have mentioned before) about this boy named Sunday. He is 15 years old and has no parents. He lives by himself in a hut in a displaced camp. He hopes someday to be a doctor. He can't afford a uniform, and is not welcome in school because of that. But he is so persistent and keeps trying to go back to school. Listening to him talk and watching him live his life you begin to see what greed and ignorance has done to us.
I am never satisfied with what I have because I know that I can obtain more. I am convinced that more will add to my happiness... but it's a vicious cycle, because once you have more, you want more and then more and more.
I'm ashamed. So I guess I really can't dis my peers. I'm just as guilty. Wow, this blogging without direction worked out for my good.
Which brings me to another topic I was just made aware of...
Why do I think I'm better than other people?
Wow....

I guess what I have learned through my life is when I do Gods will I am happy; when I do my will sorrow soon follows. However this is just what I have learned and the path I try to follow. You may follow a different path in your life but in the end they all lead to one God.
