I am so blessed. Each and every day I feel the joy that God gives me bursting inside of me more and more. I feel like God is melting away the things of this world in my heart and sending his spirit to fill me with overflowing joy and peace and excitement. I am so blessed.

This morning Texanna (greatest best friend on the planet) sent me this prayer:

Grant, O Lord my God, that I may never fall away in success or in failure; that I may not be prideful in property nor dejected in adversity. Let me rejoice only in what unites us and sorrow only in what separates us. May I strive to please no one or fear to displease anyone except Yourself. May I seek always the things that are eternal and never those that are only temporal. May I shun any joy that is without You and never seek any that is beside You. O Lord, may I delight in any work I do for You and tire of any rest that is apart from You. My God, let me direct my heart towards You, and in my failings, always repent with a purpose of amendment.

-St. Thomas Aquinas

This is the prayer of my heart, this is what I want my life to look like. Expect some change.
