Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonian’s 5:16-18
Even on the Cross, Christ had every right to talk bad about everyone who put him there but instead he shows grace and mercy to the man next to him.
So partake in the suffering of Christ by not accepting that life is not fair. Accept that there are things that are out of your control and instead of complaining to every one who will listen trust that God is in control.

I have decided to take on this challenge. Every day I will write about something that I am grateful for in my life. I hope that by making an effort to be more actively grateful I will assume a more positive, thankful attitude for all of the blessings and situations in my life.
There's no better time to begin than the present:
I am grateful for my professors. It sounds kind of cheesy, but it's really true. I have been blessed to be a part of a college whose faculty are among some of the most incredible educators, not only for their devotion to teaching, but for their hearts for myself and my peers. This morning, like other Tuesday and Thursday mornings, I sat in on a lesson in one of my professor's offices with my friend, Alyce. Dr. Eggleston, my Hebrew professor, was going over a lesson from my Hebrew class that I hadn't done well on before. He knew that I was struggling, and he wanted to help me see the bigger picture for the things we had been learning. This evening, I had dinner with a group of peers, two professors, and their families at a local Greek restaurant. I am a part of a group who will be traveling to Greece and Turkey in May, so our professors, Dr. Borders and Dr. Jeffcoat, met us for a taste of true Greek food and fellowship. It's little things like this that make me so thankful to be a part of the community that we share at Huntingdon. The relationships and guidance that I have gotten in the past four years have really been the best part of my education; without my professors supporting me and helping me along the way, I don't think I could have ever been a double major, much less be heading off to seminary in the fall.
