Be Careful What You Pray For
I have prayed to God for many different reasons with many different requests over the course of my lifetime, but for the last three years, I have had one consistent prayer:
"Lord, do whatever you need to do in order to make me what you want me to be."
He's doing just that, whether I like it or not.
Be careful what you pray for, you just might get it.
And it just might be worth it.

Hey there! I noticed the link on the bottom of your emails and checked it out. I read several of your entries and I don't want to embarass you, but I just feel like I need to tell you how similar many of my emotions were going through college. Feeling hollow, uncertain about the future so far away, feeling that you neither belong at home nor at school, that you really don't have a place in the world yet, and just utter loneliness and self doubt. I wonder if college forces depression on people! Anyway, your blogs are beautiful-- your faith is beautiful, and though you are the one hashing through it day by day and at times it might just suck-- from an outsiders standpoint, I think it's wonderful! I am mentally preparing so much for motherhood that I sat here thinking-- will my child tell me when they feel this way? What will I say? How will I encourage them? How different will his or her life be from my own? I don't know, but I wanted to let you know you are doing great and even though time drags when you are lonely-- 2009 will be here before you know it, and one day you will miss these days. I'll be honest, a happy marriage beats college life hands down any day of the week, but you'll get there, and all of this time of making yourself a better and stronger person will make you that much better of a husband-- promise! Anyway, keep writing, dreaming, praying, believing and doing your best-- it's a wonderful thing and I am proud of you!
