You're Essential

This being happy and joyful thing is working amazingly well...I've been trying to give everything I have to God, and it just makes things so much easier to handle. I can't stay upset for very long.

Last night, I had...a revelation, I guess. I dunno what you call it. But...I'm almost sure that I KNOW my future has to do with music. And if it doesn't, God will let me know. Nothing is certain except Him. And I'm going to trust Him and give Him my all and work on loving people like my family...

The one thing I have trouble with is resisting being mean when people are making fun of my friends behind their backs. I want to take those people and shake them and remind them that no one is perfect, and everyone is good in their own way, and God loves everyone the same. But I know if I do that without praying first and preparing, I'm going to say something that God won't approve of. That's the one thing I need prayer for...being filled with the Spirit and being able to let Him use me as a puppet for His Will...
