Midnight Musings

So since coming to University/College I haven't had too many early nights...most have been quite late actually but then most of them have been worth it as I make new friends and grow closer to others. I also find that late at night is the time that I end up thinking the most...or at least I think very deeply at these times. Now whether this is a good thing or not I have yet to find out but since I can still wake up in time to get ready and be on time for classes I am okay with my late night musings for now.

What has struck and stuck to me more and more lately is how complicated life actually is. As the intelligent humans that we are (or assume to be), we try to simplify everything in life. Yet there is not always a certain "Yes" or "No" to every question or situation that arises and sometimes there may be no right answer...or maybe there is no wrong answer. What do you do in that kind of situation...I wonder.

Another thing that often pops into my mind these late nights is how little I know. Yes I am a teenager, a young adult who is admitting that I don't know everything (drat). and no matter how much I study, how long I attend school, there will always be something I do not know. For example I have done at least 12, yes at LEAST 12 years, of bible studies both with my family and on my own yet even after these many years it astounds me how little I actually know about the Bible...how can you fit so much knowledge into one little (depending on the size of your Bible that is) book? Will I ever be able to understand everything? Most likely not...but is it even possible? I wonder.....

So what do you think about late at night?
