my heart feels so full it could burst

i think i am the most optimistic i have ever been in my life right now.

retreat left me broken, vulnerable, and pretty perturbed.
but after my eyes had returned to their normal size (took about 24 hours though) and i calmed down enough to think things over, i realized that
i am so, so blessed.
i have the most amazing people in my life.
God loves me and forgives me for my sins.
He has given me so much and up until now, i took these gifts for granted.
starting from right now, though, i'm making a change. i'm going to put in so much more effort to maintain my friendships. i'm going to try to bring my sister back into Christ again and read the Word of the Lord to her every single day. i'm going to love everyone around me because i love God and God loves everybody, regardless of who you are.

oh my gosh this is so jumbled and i cannot even put my emotions into words
but i'm really, really joyful right now.
i have been given the opportunity to truly make a difference, and i won't let it go to waste :)

you're happy!

so now my heart is full too.

i love you. i love the Lord too. remember that you need Him especially when you think you're doing everything right.

there seems to be a lot of complicated stuff that needs to be done for salvation, right? but remember, in the end, loving Him gets you wherever you need to be.

i love you so so much...
