The past few days the Moon has been so full and bright. A few nights ago I was walking around Lake Baldwin with my boyfriend and the way the Moon reflected off the water was tantalizing. My mind went blank and all I could do was stare in awe. God’s creation is so amazing and beautiful and out of my control. The way the Moon makes the tides and reflects the sunlight so perfectly can only be done by such an awesome and powerful God.

I couldn’t help but feel so small in comparison to the Moon’s full, bright beauty. In that moment with my boyfriend holding me as I looked out upon the rippling water and the Moon I felt at peace. It didn’t matter that I had homework piling up, an alarm clock awaiting me in the morning, and a long work day ahead of me.

I have been learning to live in the moment and appreciate all the little blessings in my life. There is a much bigger plan than what I can currently see, and I am taking time to acknowledge that. I think that is one of the biggest problems in life. Too many people are focused on the future or the past and not taking advantage of the gift of the present moment. Treasuring those moments like photos in my mind is a way I can find solace among all the stress and choas that life brings.

Thank you God for the Moon.

Well here I am. I decided to start a blog after an assignment for my business law class. Of all things the assignment was about copyrights and intellectual property. I’ve tried many times in the past to keep up with journaling or some form of creative writing. I find it refreshing to express myself through words.

Everything from poetry to fan fiction has fascinated me, and I’ve even tried to dabble in it myself. Although I am an accounting major I love finding ways to show my creative side. Sure, I’m not the most creative but I do have my own interests and views that I think are worth documenting. If for no one else, then for my future self to look back and appreciate all the ideas that were swirling around in my 20 year old brain.

I hope you will join me on this journey through the digital world of blogging. Let’s see where this thing goes.
