I’m like a biiiird I wanna fly away
Recently, I managed to lose my favorite purse in a ridiculous and careless series of events. To make things worse, I somehow decided before going out that day that it was a good idea to pack all of my gift money from Christmas, my new s95 camera (the whole reason I made a tumblr..), and various other personal belongings including a wallet with all my identification and spending cards. In less than an hour, I lost almost all of the most precious material belongings I could think of, and all I could really feel was self-pity and irrational hatred towards whoever had taken my purse and had the nerve to keep it, especially with all that was inside. Today, right before my flight out of San Francisco, I decided to sit down and go through pictures from winter break, maybe just to cater to the sulky attitude which accompanies any thought of a camera, especially mine. But now, like so many times this year, I find myself humbled. As corny as this is going to sound, I decided to go straight to the last picture I ever took on the camera before I lost it, just for fun. I hope that I can learn a lesson from this picture and the context in which I viewed it. I know, I know. Cheesy. But whatever. When I saw this picture, I felt a little guilty, as if someone was pointing a finger at me to make me realize what a HUGE attitude adjustment I needed. I actually forgot I took this picture to begin with. But there you have it: “In our trials , we’re given comfort and strength by Jesus Himsef.” Amen.
Material things will come and go but one thing is constant.
thank you Jesus
for my family and my friends and for today. I am so blessed<3
