I should be working on homework...

I couldn't complete today without posting my thoughts from one of my classes today.  I'm 28 days from completing my first semester in college (not that I'm counting or anything) and the work load is starting to multiply.  Thankfully, I feel okay about it, and know that if I keep trusting God, and reorganizing my priorities, eventually everything will be completed.  Each one of these 28 days will bring its own struggles and challenges, but I will push on towards the goal. 

Anyways, onto my main point of this post.  Today in my Foundations of Marriage and Family class, we talked about people as the reach the middle age and elderly years.  My professor ended with showing us a clip from Good Morning America that featured Robin Roberts being transformed from her 45-year-old self into an 85 year-old-woman. The whole concept puts everything in a new perspective, but there was one part that stuck out the most to me.  When Robin goes to the grocery store as her 85-year-old self, there's a hidden camera that goes along for the ride.  As she narrates her journey, she points out that some people laugh at her, while some others tried to help her if she had problems reaching an item on the shelf.

As I watched this, the following thought hit me, "What happened to those people who helped Robin once they found out it was Robin Roberts (if they watched the end result)?"  Also, I wonder how many people would have helped her if they would have known?  God decided to run with those thoughts and bring me to another conclusion.  We do that to Jesus.  What if Jesus wants us to reach out and help someone in need?  How many times to we brush these off notions because we think it won't matter?  Personally, I don't even want to know, because I'm sure many times I haven't even thought about opportunities to help staring me in the face.

So there it is, what I wanted to share with the world.  I hope you appreciated me coming up to breathe in the form of posting this on my blog.  Realistically, you probably won't hear from me again until December 17th.  But, that's only 28 days away!
