My life has not been extremely exciting in the past week; definitely not exciting enough to write about. Keeping track of my life and my thoughts daily has proven, once again, to be more challenging than I thought it would be. Some days I do want to write but nothing comes. Other days I have to force myself to stop by my blog even though this should not be something that I should have to force myself to do. I should probably start writing in my real journal as well. Watching The Notebook for the thousandth time reminded me why I need to keep track of my thoughts and my feelings. You never know when your mind may leave you.
Speaking of The Notebook, the movie got me thinking about the contents of my last post. I do think I am ready for a commited relationship. I am not saying marriage but definitely commitment. I want a love like Noah and Ally's. I want someone to love me like Noah loved Ally. Why can't real life be like the movies? Why can't there be that someone who would move Heaven and Earth to be with you? If only life and love were not so complicated!
The cicadas have arrived! I have yet to see one though.
Joey, my bestest, asked me if I wanted him to catch me some in a jar. It looks like I'm going to have to take him up on that offer if I do not get to see one soon! They do not live very long; I do believe it is only two to three weeks at the longest. I can hear them whenever I step outside my house, but I have not seen the swarms like so many people have told me about. I don't find their 'song' to be all that annoying either. I think it is kind of soothing even if it is a bit loud. I can even hear it when I am inside my house!
I finished reading Judges yesterday. It still amazes me how disobedient the Israelites were. How could a people who witnessed first hand God's wonders turn away from Him so many times? I suppose I could say the same for modern day Christians as well. Even though God does not speak to us in the same sense that He spoke to the Israelites, we can still see God working in our every day lives. How many times have we heard God whisper to our hearts and we simply turn away? How many times has God saved our lives and we not even thank Him? How often do we truly stop and thank God for carrying us? Not often enough, and yes that does include me. How do we get to the point where we revolve around God instead of wanting God to revolve around our lives and our schedules?
