Moods
I was in a strange mood today. I got out my country CD's and listened to all the sappy love songs and such while I was doing my math. You know why I liked country so much for so long? (Hey, I still like it...I just don't listen to it exclussively) Well, almost every song has a story in it. Either that or a lesson to teach you. I know you're all sitting there rolling your eyes at me, but that's alright. ;) I was also in a very Christmasy mood. I got out one of my Christmas CD's out and listened to it while doing my Biology! Which I don't have this Thursday!!!!!!! I'm soooo glad! I think we have to take our test at home, but that's alright with me! As long as it's not tomorrow! And we're just going to have extra class time for speech next week. So anyways, I'm pretty excited about that.

Challenge
I had this thought after listening to Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying". Do you live each day to it's fullest? What if all of the sudden you found out you wouldn't be livnig much longer. Would you change your life? Or would you not have to because you know that what you are doing is exactly what God would want you to do with your life. So, make the most of your life. Don't sit there complaining about what you don't have. Be thankful for what you do have! When you love someone, let them know - not only through words, but also through actions. Live each day as if you won't see tomorrow. And most of all, seek God in all you do.
