Learning from the past

Ok, so I moved back home to Iowa, living with my parents now, was looking through all my junk last night, and I found this journal entry - yes, I was reading them - and I wanted to share it with all of you because it touched me so and I thought, 'This will be perfect for my blog!' So here it is.

Make Life An Adventure
July 14, 2007 Saturday

It's pretty cool how a movie can just grab you, touch you in so many ways, inspire you to do something more with/in your life, or let you know you're never too old to be young and free and full of imagination. I don't usually cry in a lot of movies, but I did cry, a lot, in the one we just finished watching: Bridge to Terabithia; one of the best movies. It reminds you to "keep your mind wide open, all the possibilities." A few hours ago, the things that were on my mind and the things that I thought mattered to me, don't anymore. I kind of think this is God's way of bringing my mind back in the game. The reason why I'm here. The reason why we're all here: To return to our Father in Heaven. Destination: God's Kingdom. We never know when we're going to go and this earth, this temporary home, has so much to to offer. So many tings to see, places to go, people to meet. We should all look at life as a a grand adventure. Life isn't all that dull that we make it out to be . If we could see the world differently, not taking everything so serious or so literal, life would be grand. Only you can make you're life suck. Only you can believe in yourself and do the impossible. Make life an adventure. Dot he impossible. Be free. Be you.
