One Thirty Eight. A Simple Smile.

Yesterday the rain came down like there was no tomorrow. As if there had been a drought for like 10 years and then God let it rain, haha! Well, for once I actually decided to drive to school, but this was because 1. i had to go to kinkos, 2. it was pouring rain to the point of not being able to avoid getting soaked.

Before i get to the smile part of my blog i'd like to praise the Lord for putting my car in park!!! i had to reverse at some point in my trip and was at a stop light. The light turned green and i did what most people do at a green light, accelerated. But my engine reved and and i was confused... i looked down and i had been in park but just minutes before i had been in reverse! There was a car directly behind mine, so i would have been in a pretty bad wreck, caused by the one and only me. PRAISE THE LORD!!!

so... yesterday walking to class from the parking deck and there was a river puddle between stuffy's subs and the other building. i saw this guy walking towards me and i could tell we were both thinking about how to get around this... so i go left and find a smaller area of the river, and he follows but to his right. The conversation we had was just a smile and a simple laugh... but this really hit me in a poetic way... God gave us the ability to smile and laugh. Now bear with me for a second... imagine yourself going through your day and all of a sudden something just makes you smile BAM! there it is a smile bigger than your face! Now remember that feeling? The feeling of a true smile occuring all in one instance, and sometimes we don't even know why this smile occurs. i like to imagine these pure smiles as little presents from God. Something to mix up our day... something so simple, but with such a huge impact. i love smiling. i love that feeling... when i know it's a real smile :)! i have always described these as the ones you can feel your ears go up. It's a whole face kind of thing... your expression tells it all, without words.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SMILES.
gah, i love You!

(taking the shortest break in history to finish up the blog i started this morning... now back to the GO GO GO of end of the year final projects and printing my life away at kinkos sooooon)

oh yeah and just got the new meg and dia cd... it's so different...
