Today was chock full of events from four in the morning all the way until now. I listened to NPR news on my way to Atlanta as I gazed on the rising sun. I drove my car to get serviced there, then went over to Alpharetta to eat lunch with a friend. Driving back, my eyes glazed over and my head nodded. I needed sleep so much. In Auburn I took a nap before eating dinner with a friend at Creole shack.
I think a lot.
Why does God make us who we are? After dinner I had a five hour long conversation with the friend about our lives in college and things we struggled with before college. Driving home from the conversation I wished that I could be a better example to my friends. I feel stressed out almost every day, and sometimes I am jealous of those who have so little to do. But, this summer has both challenged and blessed me. I have grown. The generosity of others overwhelms me. Never in my life have I known what it is like to have my work depend on the generosity and kindness of others, other than my parents. It's humbling and rewarding. When I must partner with someone to carry out my job, it tempers the ego. I really accomplish nothing. God accomplishes through our partnership.
Life is difficult many times, but full of blessings.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Going their way they went and wept: scattering their seed. But returning, they shall come with joyfulness: bringing their sheaves with them.

"Life is painless for the brainless."
May I be so prideful as to say I don't have that blessing? Haha!
You may say it, because it's true, not because it's prideful.
Still, I think there is a price to being un-brainless. Pain?
