Blessed

How come i have sooooo much stuff and yet i'm still discontent? Recently i've been struggling with contentment. It's really easy to act content and happy on the outside but in my heart i want more. anyways, last night at Cru i realized that i've been trying to find my joy in relationships with people. Of course there's nothing wrong with relationships...but when others come before God, life is no longer pleasant. So often i try to please people and make myself look good in their eyes. So i decided to think of at least three things that i'm thankful for and write them down each night. this is actually an idea i got from Dr. Mattern (my flute prof), who encourages us to think positively about our playing and not just analyzing it critically.
In reality i find that i am so blessed and God could allow everything i have to be taken away if He wanted. I'm super glad it's Friday! We (Nicole, Amanda, Emily and I) are going to see Diva tonight. they're an all female jazz orchestra from NYC and Dr. Scagnoli gave us free tickets in Wind Ensemble! yay!! Talking about Wind Ens., we have our first concert on Feb. 19 (sunday) at 3pm. It's going to be amazing! We're playing a bunch of really cool pieces like Heroes, Lost and Fallen and The Carnival of Venice where the soloist (a euphonium player) is fantastic...he does a lot of triple tonguing thoughout almost the whole piece. there are also a bunch of flute recitals coming up....joy's is on tuesday at 5:30pm, I can't wait!!!!
Well....it's time to go to dinner! Happy Friday ya'll!
