I have had a day filled with Economics and English literature. Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day so I'm taking a moment to stop and reflect on my room. I definitely believe that the room is an extension of the self. There are so many character traits that you can pick out about a person by the type of room they keep and how it is decorated. So naturally, I'm observing my own. My bed is simple, a blue down comforter, 2 white down pillows, a throw pillow, and the quilt I made for myself. My walls all have something on them, mainly pictures. There are those I have loved, those I have never known, those I respect and admire and they each add a little character to my room. I have butterflies scattered throughout my room because they are my favorite and remind me of home in the summer time. Overall, I would describe my room as comfortable and warm. A place to retreat to from the harsh outside world.
I think one of the most interesting parts of my room are the pictures. I have so many of them and I want them plastered everywhere. It is comforting to have the faces of those whom I have loved, looking at me. I think it shows how much I admire the people who have influenced me in some way or another and their display serves as a constant reminder that God has never left my side.
So even though I'm stressing out and worrying, when I look at my pictures and go through my photo albums, I find relief in my sanctuary. A room of my own.
Song of the night: Farther Along (Hymn Brad Paisley Sings)
- Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long,
While there are others living about us,
Never molested, though in the wrong.
- Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
When death has come and taken our loved ones,
It leaves our home so lonely and drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year.
- Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
Faithful til death, said our loving Master
A few more days to labor and wait,
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweet through the beautiful gate.
- Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
When we see Jesus, coming in glory,
When He comes from His home in the sky,
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
We'll understand it all by and by.
- Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.
