I'm alive :)
"Oh, really?" you say. "Why don't you tell me something I don't know?"
Yeah, I'm breathing. Yeah, my heart's beating. That's not exactly what I'm referring to. I feel....bubbly. haha :) Full of life! Energetic! But wanting to do something that means something. Right now, that something is reflecting my Master in every point of my life. School, family, friends, chores....music.
I rediscovered my piano last week. I 'haven't had time'....or so I've been telling myself. After sitting down and playing through a few hymns and a couple instrumental pieces I was reminded of how much I absolutely love it. There's time, if I make it a priority. (Oh, by the way, Philippians 4:13 is THE KEY. My procrastination is leaving, and I'm so happy.)
I can't wait til I can get out and ride my horses!! I am so ready to canter, jump, go on a long trail ride... it's been waayyy too long. Sure, I go up there every day to feed, water, and muck out, but I want to do something. :)
School is going great, I can make an astonishing amount of progress when I put my mind to it...haha.
And my friends are the best ever. I love you guys! Y'all add so much to my life!
My spiritual life is what's behind all this, I do believe. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, after all, so Who/where else could it come from? I'm learning to listen, and not just make noise when I pray and study the Bible, and I'm loving being amazed every single day of how much He has to tell me!!
...this post ended up being a swell jumble of thoughts. I think I'll end there :) Kudos if you read all the way through my nonsense!

Random jumble of thoughts is the best way to express yourself. Most of the time the people reading it can relate to what you have experienced. In this case I can. I have been feeling the same way for the last few days. There are several things that I thought triggered it. One of them was you, you seem to be dedicated to doing your best in everything, and I think some of that has wore off on me. Another was getting closer to God, I have been cleaning up some things in my life lately, and have redoubled my efforts in resiting Satan's temptations on my greatest weakness, and it has given me more energy. Another source of this energy I think comes from thinking of my grandpaw, he was such a hard worker, and I want to be more like him. But anyway, my comment is about as long as your blog post, so I will stop with that.
I echo John Luke's statement--keep rambling, because that's the best way to say what you want to say!
I loved reading this post, and I'm thankful for the continual encouragment you are to me, Mattie. I'm really blessed by having you in my life, and reading your blog is a never-fail way to give my day a lift. I especially liked what you said about "learning to listen and not just make noise when I pray". That's something God is slowly teaching me, too--sometimes I'm so wrapped up in what I want to say to Him, I'm not listening to what He has to say to me!
Eager for more of your ramblings!
