Today is June 5, 2011. Today my air conditioner broke. Today has also brought 100 degree weather. I could've stayed at my parent's house but of course clinic begins tomorrow and I really needed to prepare. Therefore, right now I am sitting in an apartment that is 94 degrees trying to get some relief from my ceiling fan I have set on high. Even though I am completely miserable right now, this has reminded me how much we take for granted. Having a working air conditioner during a southern summer is serisouly a gift from God; however, it goes unnoticed until it fails on a day when it is needed, like today for instance. Then I think about people who do not have an air conditioner and how much of a luxury it actually is. Unfortunately, I think we take many things for granted. A roof over our head, food to eat, and clothes to wear are all things we know to be thankful for but do we ever really stop and thank God for providing them? And since I started thinking about it, I also realized how blessed I am to have a supportive family and what looks to be a promising future. Why did God choose me to be so lucky when so many others struggle day to day to have the basic essentials? So... I guess a broken air conditioner is God's way of telling me to be grateful for every little thing he has blessed me with because you never know when it could be taken away.
Also, Jon is back from Brazil!!! Yay! So happy :)

Love This Song!
I stumbled upon this song by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit on iTunes today. After doing some googleing, I found out Jason is actually from northern Alabama, which is where he gets a lot of the inspiration for his songs. I love finding new artists and I love it even more when I find out they're from Alabama! The song is called "Alabama Pines".
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Ps, I've had a lot of time to browse new music since Jon has been in Brazil. I never realized how much of my time he took up! (Not that I mind too much)
