Well it's started. I've finally been convinced enough to start a blog. The only problem, what to write?, who will read it?, blah blah blah. I finally just decided to do it for myself. "My first post?" you may ask?, simply this.
Lately I've been thinking. Mostly about trivial things, but more recently about one thing in particular. Ants. Have you ever really stopped and considered an ant? I mean I know it sounds pretty corny, but honestly think about it. These incredible, strong, tiny, creatures carry more then 10 times their body weight! 10 TIMES! How much do they weigh? About .01 pounds on average. that's like the size of a skittle, and yet they can carry 100, or 1000 skittles! And not only are they strong they work together. There are hundreds upon hundreds of these little insects building and tunneling and supporting each other. Each one works to gather food for their colony and help each other. I just marvel over these creatures who so faithfully work all day, and all night.
Now why have i been thinking about ants? Because If I could have half that strength do you know what I could do? Well and not just even me, but the world. Honestly, how cool would it be to see the entire nation do something together? Something like feed the world, or clean it, or even just stop fighting with each other. Again at the risk of sounding like a terrible infomercial for "Save the World!" or something like that, but I really have been thinking about that.
I've been the most terrible campaign for tree huggers right now. I thought I knew what i wanted to do with my life, get married, get a job, be an interpreter, have a family, etc. But, can i do more? Am I meant for a bigger destiny, or to help more people, or maybe even none of that? I may not know, but what I do know is that, like an ant, I will not give up. An ant won't give up when their hard work is washed away, and neither can I.
So what am I destined for? Well let's find out! I know 2 things for sure. 1 that the Lord is always on my side, and 2 as long as I keep moving forward I can not go backward, and can not fail.
