Life Full of Color

Have you ever been in a room full of balloons? I mean, balloons of all different colors just side by side? If you haven't, go out and buy some balloons, find a few friends, inflate them, and enjoy.
Tonight, we did just that. As I was helping a group on campus prepare for a school-wide community service event, we inflated about 100 balloons and scattered them around the room. If that doesn't make you happy, then go and buy a kitten or something(unless you don't like kittens ...then I guess you're just out of luck).
I felt like a child as I zigzagged through the maze of balloons, and I couldn't help but smile.
Lately, life has been confusing and overwhelming at times. Growing up came faster than I was prepared for it to. In the midst of it all, I have prayed continuously that The Lord would give me peace and would help me to remain joyful through it all. It's cool how when we pray to our Heavenly Father that he surpasses anything we could ever think of for ourselves. He has given me peace in every moment and has given me a joyful spirit, of which I'm incredibly thankful for. Just like to tonight, as I stood amongst the vibrant colors of balloons, I was reminded of how carefree a child is. We are told to have childlike faith. That's just it. When we pray to Him and trust in His timing, He is faithful. Always. I am thankful for what seemed like such a small meaningless thing at the moment, to remind me of how awesome God is each and every day.
