So I had the weirdest experience yesterday. I woke up in a bad mood, as I had for the past week....all I could think about was what was going wrong, what wasn't happening that should, what was happening that shouldn't...and then I walked into the bathroom (that's not the most amazing part).
When I walked in, I suddenly decided that I was totally sick of being in a bad mood. I was tired of the burden of bitterness and of thinking that everyone owed me something. Martyrdom has run its course, my friends!
So I changed my attitude, just decided I would do it. It worked!! I walked out of the bathroom and THE WORLD WAS NEW!
I'm not even kidding. Before I walked in the bathroom, I turned my electric heater on thinking, "Well, I'm going to be cold anyway" and when I walked out and saw it, and I was overwhelmed by gratitude and happiness - I have an electric heater!! I have an electric heater!!!!!! That's so nice!!!
Weird, huh?
The other great thing is that last night I was starting to slip back into my mood when I got back from Jessica's party, and started journaling (highly recommended). Jesus totally met me there, reminding me of who I *really* want to be. I don't want to be a bitter old lady at the age of 20. No no no. He filled me with hope, and I'm really grateful. My baggage still drags at my feet, but there's hope, you know? So there you go. Pray for me...I hope I don't forget all of this :)
