too many times i’ve jumped into conclusions and assumptions about people before i ever even meet them.
a few weeks ago, i was
freaking ownedextremely convicted after i saw a man, who looked on the very sketchy side, walk out from the gas station convenience store. the instant i saw him, i judged him. no hesitation whatsoever. in the next instant, an old lady asked this man for help with directions. without skipping a beat the man responded by dropping what he was doing to very pleasantly help explain and direct where the woman needed to go.-i was instantly filled with shame. i had judged this man so quickly without even giving him a chance. it’s sad and pathetic, but i needed this in my life so badly. sure, i may never see this man again for the rest of my life, but that’s not the point. god rocked me to my core and showed me that i need to stop being so quick to make assumptions about people before i even get the chance to know who they are.
-believe it or not, but most people are good.

i am tired. i am cranky. i am studying. i am not sleeping.
-these things make coreyannoyingirritable.
and i sure as heck dont want to be doing any of this. but it doesn’t even matter.i can do anything and everything that would normally annoy me at this point and it would not take away from how much joy is in my life right now. i have never been this happy.
god isgoodamazing. in every way. he reveals things to us in our lives at times that we least expect to either teach us and help us grow through struggles we face, or just to simply bless us. i have never felt more close to god and i am thanking him daily for the all blessings in my life. he is good.this is only way i can describe how i feel:
—thank you god for the blessings in my life you’ve given me.

i’m not one for saying things in an elegant or beautiful manner. so i’lll just spit it out instead of making it purrty.
i am content.
con·tent
[kuh
n-tent] 
adjective1.satisfied with what one is or has; not wanting more or anything else.
usually around this time of the year, when school is starting up again, i don’t get too excited because of responsibilities that arise in my life. but life is different these days.naturally, i’m a happy person. it’s just who i am. but as of recently my life has been substantially great. so great that even class isn’t bad to me. (and if you know me, that’s really saying something.)
now you may ask, “corey, what’s making you so happy?” and i might answer straight up or i might not, but really all i need you to know is that life is good. whether you see it or not. it’s there. you just have to be ready to see it for yourself.
i can see it.
and honestly. i couldn’t be happier.
