God, Guys, Architecture and Questions...

Ok, I know my last blog commended you guys out there and was sympathetic towards you but I feel like I should take it all back. The amount of heartbreak I've heard of over the last couple of days has been immense and as much as I hate to say it, pretty much 90% of the time it was the guy doing the breaking, the manipulating and taking advantage of the girl's heart. But I guess you can blame the girls for falling into the continual trap. Its an endless cycle of heartbreak.
But moving on to greener pastures...I've finished all my many essays and now feel a little freer! I spent the whole of today reading, sitting on a window sill admiring God's glorious sunshine. On Wednesday we went spontaneously to the beach and I was (as per usual) breath taken by the scenery, I love the beach and it never fails to amaze me. I'm like a kid with it, the sea and sand are amazingly good sources of entertainment, God knows me too well!!
Wednesday was a basically a day of having my breath taken away, as I walked around Canterbury Cathedral it was continually striking-the architecture, the clear blue sky and the overwhelming sense of history behind it. Everything, all of it combined made me reflective and pensive and think what an amazing God we have, that someone would build such an awe-striking Cathedral to try and show one snippet of how amazing He is.
What have I done to show how amazing He is? I know it's not about works, but I never thank Him enough (and never will), I never praise Him enough, when every word and action I say and do should be a reflection of it.
He saved me from despair and heartbreaking situations, I'm listening to the song that reminds me what He has brought me out of and what would have been a completely different life. I owe Him everything and I want to spend the rest of my life continually thanking Him.
How will you spend your life? Will yours be a life that is continually thankful or continually bitter? One that looks back at what could have been, with a mournful sigh or one that looks to the future with a smile because you trust God has it in His ever capable hands?
