Everyday, we have opportunities. Opportunities to smile at a stranger, to talk with someone you don't know very well, to do what God is calling you to do. Sometimes God brings about an opportunity more than once. Being kind to a random person can impact their lives forever without you knowing it. Smiling at the teenager sitting on the bench at Walmart might lighten his day, and make him question his decision to commit suicide. You may think I'm a little far-fetched, but just because you didn't experience it directly doesn't mean it didn't happen. Sometimes we make decisions and we regret them, whether it's the fact that you avoided someone who needed help or acted on something and it went awry.
Opportunities can range in "importance" to you. I had the opportunity to go to Kings Dominion for competition, and I did it. I also had the opportunity to spend time with a friend, but I made an excuse not to go. Sometimes turning someone down is okay, but not if you know you should do it. Don't rush your choices, but trust that God will show you the way.

Laminate flooring
To be honest, I know absolutely nothing about laminate flooring. But laminate flooring led me to think about cleaning floors, which led me to think about cleaning with Grandma, which led me to think about jobs, which led me to think about the fact that I have one, and that job happens to be mowing lawns (I could have just titled this something about lawns, but that's no fun).
My brother got a couple mowing jobs a few years ago, and this year he is way too busy with college and the other two jobs he has, so he passed them on to me. I had never mowed until I started last week. 1) Yay, I have a job, and I can start managing my own finances. 2) It's very satisfying to watch the grass magically get short. 3) WHY IS THERE A HILL HERE. I probably amused the passers-by with my amazing arm strength (ha) mixed with my intense determination to get the job done. Plus there were a lot of grass clods cause the bag on the mower is ripped ._.
Anyhoozles, it's a good thing I have a job, because I can get an early start on adulting and I can earn back all the money I spent on getting people birthday presents. I mean, why are so many people born in April? I guess I can't complain, because my birthday is in April (today, to be exact).
And because I didn't do any spider-webbing today (sarcasm), I will now share this wonderful picture with you.
