This Christmas Eve has been one of such incredible insight. Through the course of these past 24 hours, I have felt more alive than I have for a very long time. And you know why? Its because I have a PURPOSE again. I have a reason to keep on going, a reason to strive ever onwards. This period of coasting in stagnant waters for ever so long is finally behind me, and a new beginning is in front of me. I have a job, I'm starting a savings account, I finally chose that school I'm going to be attending for the next two years, and am working on trying to get housing at said location. - -- -------, --- --- ----- ---- -- -- ----, ----- -- -- ---------- ------ --- ------ ---- --- ---- - ---- -------- ---. (Ain't redaction great?) I feel like I have so much to live and work for. And I've given some very important things to God. If there's one thing that's effected me today, it was what Pastor Doug said at the Christmas Eve service about the wise men: that they didn't bring things to Christ that they thought He'd want or need, they brought was was most valuable to them to Him. So this Christmas season (ie: tonight), I've given what I currently hold most valuable to God. Its a scary proposition, but one that couldn't be more RIGHT. And it is such a load off of my heart and soul. Because who else could take better care of things? I'm so glad to be alive. So glad to have a purpose, so glad to be okay with how things are. Merry Christmas everyone, Merry Christmas.

you are being very enigmatic about this whole thing. what school did you choose??
Fullerton! I actually wasn't trying to be, its just that I'm out of debt, I finally have a school I'm 100% going to (I'm working on housing currently), and things such as being worried about the future, both near and far, I've been able to totally give over to God. Its been something I've been struggling with (and focusing and fretting over way too much) for a while, and it is such a huge weight off of my chest! I feel like I'm finally moving in a forward direction after a semester of doing almost nothing. I'm just really excited to see what God has in store. Even 12 hours of work over these past two days couldn't get me down! Plus, this is the happiest I've been for a while :)
