Love This Life.

I love this life. Not so much the life as in what most people would say (parties, living it up, whatever), but the life that God has blessed me with. It's good and He gave it to me to enjoy. Thank Jesus!

Father, I will enjoy this life. And I will take time to grow myself in you and not worry so much about other people. I will not be selfish, but I will not neglect my own life to try and satisfy someone else's. I will no longer be ashamed when I am happy, or feel guilty if someone isn't appreciative of my decisions if I know they were right. I do not need to fix people or fulfill them because I can't. What I can do is love You, and live in You, and be filled with Your joy despite this world and all the crap it throws at me. Because it's ok. I have You and You are all I need. 

And when I go to Chapel Hill, I'm not going to worry about "saving" people, or saying the right thing, or making the best argument. I'm going to love You. And heck, I'm going to enjoy the college life! It will be wonderful, and good, and beautiful. 

Thank You, Father!
