Sometimes it means to shut your pie hole and contain yourself. Even when you feel like you're about to burst and think screaming and punching will make you feel so much better. That's not love.

I've slowly been learning to be more patient and openly loving spending time with the girl I babysit. I thank God that this is something I enjoy! I was feeling a bit out of it today and was feeling very impatient, but really because of God, I was able to take a step back and compose myself and love more.

A brother of mine surprised me with his kindness. He knows about my state of confusion as to what to do with my liiiiife. So not too long ago he asked me if there was anything he can pray for and I told him I need vision! direction! While talking today, he told me that he tries to pray for me everyday. How comforting and encouraging is that! Thank you brother. You have no idea how much I appreciate your looking out for me.

Yesterday, a friend had a team walking in the Buddy Walk and with another friend, we went to go show some support :) woop woop!

Today, a friend said she needed to talk so when we both had some free time we talked it out.

HAHA.

By the grace of God I stopped to think instead of reacting. Hopefully this is just the beginning. To show unconditional love instead of getting mad and expressing that anger.

HAHA.

Interesting, not something I'm used to, tension-filled, but had a good moment with my accountability friend. We were both upset, but with his help we were able to talk honestly and that really helped. I need more people to push me to speak the truth in love. Right?!

HAHA.

An exchange of fears and reassuring words/encouragements.

A friend needed help doing some stuff for a project - print, cut, fold, assemble. I was free in the morning so I went to go help. FUN. Bitter memories of doing this kind of work at school is slowly being replaced by FUN ones like today. Thank you, God.

HAHA.
