Remember Whose You Are.

We [humans] are pretty cool.

Today I Thought:

College age is weird. Once I was telling shelby about something I was feeling and when I finished telling her she looked confused. I responded with “It must be a college thing.” She says, “No, I think it’s a human thing.”

I just keep figuring out more and more stuff and I feel like I’m going to explode. (Forgive me if I’ve lost you already).

I return to list-making format…

1. I belong in Knoxville and in Murfreesboro. The lies tell me I don’t belong in either place, but the reality is I belong in both.

2. I can’t even see myself going back to Knoxville now that I have been home for 3 weeks, but I know I’ll be back there next week and I’ll feel like it’s home again.

3. I am 1/2 grown and 1/2 a kid. What do I do with that?  (Cue lame Britney Spears song)

4. Choosing happiness is harder than it looks. I’ve preached it for so long and I don’t know if I knew how to do it myself.

5. Paulette (my small group leader) sent a text to the small group freshman year spring break that said: “Have fun. Remember whose you are.”  Remembering that I am His is really difficult.

 

It’s amazing how much easier things are when I have perspective.

This is shelby:
