Do you ever wonder why your mood changes for different circumstances? My mood can change if the weather is bad, if my room is clean or dirty, when I listen to music (and different genres of music put me in different moods), when I'm talking with friends, even if I stay in bed too long. What is it that is programed in our DNA that involuntarily makes us feel a particular way even when we try sooo hard to feel the opposite? Maybe you're trying really hard to stay mad at your [boy]friend, but once you hear [your] song you just can't seem to be mad for too long loL. Or maybe you have absolutely nothing to be upset about but it's gray outside and looks like it's about to rain (but never does) and you're just in a sucky mood! Why?! Why do we do this? I'm sure there is some neurological explanation to this question, so if you know what it is and care to explain, please be my guest!
I spent the last two days at my religious assembly, learning to separate myself from the world (meaning to separate myself from trivial worldly pursuits) and imitate Jesus in every way possible. I am materialistic. There, I said it. I am. I want all things under the sun and I want it now! That is usually my attitude, but the more I learn about the bible and actually care to understand and apply to my life the more I am changing and I love it! This weekend I associated with so many like minded people, it was great! Although these people are my friends, and I am used to being around them, this time was different. This time my mood was different. I'd gone to the assembly Sunday with a sour mood (had a rough morning) but after taking in knowledge through bible based talks/speeches and positive [up-building] association with my friends talking about what we've learned and how we want and need to apply certain things to our lives gave me such a boost of energy and the outcome is priceless!
I had a wonderful weekend and I can't wait to put into action putting God FIRST in my life (which is why I'm not waiting, I'm starting this very moment). My education, my career, my recreation all need to come after my service to Him. I'm ready for this journey I will call my life, and this blog will be here as documentary of [all things] my life. A check point at random (or maybe not so random) moments in my life. That way I can always look back and see how much progression I've made throughout the years. To all readers [if you made it this far reading this post] thank you. Thank you for allowing me to express my thoughts and feelings here. And thank you to care enough to read it.
