Spirthday/Oh Discordia

Today's the day!

This day, last year, I gave up my life. And it's been a wild ride ever since. I wish today hadn't been such a rat-race; it would've been nice to really be able to sit back and appreciate how far I've come. I can get down on myself throughout the day, but honestly God's done a lot in my life. I FEEL the same, but when I read what I've written or remember what I've done, (or watched videos, for that matter,) there is a definite change in my attitude, in my thoughts, and in my love.

It's obvious how my friendships have changed. Now it's commonplace for me to ask for help, to get open about stuff that I don't want to beat out or that I already feel in control of. It's weird because...I don't like to be open with people. I like to impose my thoughts, when it's applicable, but as for being vulnerable about things...that's not me. Or, it wasn't me. I'm really excited to see where my character is going.

Another thing I think I've learned pretty well is how to do male-female friendships without...spoiling things. I've ALWAYS said that girls and boys can "just be friends," but I wasn't terribly good at it. But I'm happy to say that aside from K2, (who I met before I became a disciple, actually,) I haven't had any trouble or drama with girls in...well, not at all in the past year. And this is with me going on more dates than in the rest of my life put together, literally. DATING relationships are another matter. I'm not jumping into that pool yet. But it is pretty rad to be able to treat Girl X as my sister and know how to protect her and myself from...well, from awkwardness, hurt, small-scale idolatry, etc. AND it's pretty rad to know they're doing the same for me.

Mmm there's more. I have LOADS more of an understanding of my faith, my strengths and weaknesses, what being a disciple even means, (that was an interesting time of my life,) and what I can expect from a life of following God and making Jesus lord. It's intense. And it's ALL just from studying the Bible with people who aren't afraid to do what it says. I had a lot of random feelings-based faith and dogma floating around my life that...well, it wasn't biblical. Scary stuff.

But I'm going to cut off the intensity for the moment and head off for TNL. Peace
