Back to school...to prove to dad I'm not a fool...

Here I am sitting in my makeshift bed complete with plastic mattress sweating in the football dorms. This is a fantastic experience. Catch the sarcasm? I moved in Saturday afternoon so excited to see all of my friends again! And with the excitement of all the new freshman coming in...it's always neat to see who ends up befriending who. I'm anxious to see who my crew "adopts" to the family as our own. I'm ready to begin all of the rehearsals and study times...mainly the rehearsals. I've been wanting to sit down and think of some questions or better yet GOALS to set for myself this year as a performer, as a believer, as a person. What are some of those? As a performer I want to really get my voice settled into where it needs to be. I want to delve deeper into my characters. I want to give 120% in every rehearsal and performance. As a believer I want to get back into habit of going to share in corporate worship with friends and fellow believers every Sunday. I want to get closer to the Lord (who doesn't?). I want to be more loving towards everyone...showing them the love of Christ. As a person? I want to be more kind. I want to be more loving. I want to be more compassionate. I want to be more humble. I want to be more welcoming. I want to be more open. All of these can also go with what I want to accomplish as a believer. If I diligently follow and seek the Lord...then all of these things will fall in line. These are traits of a true loving born-again Christian. I want those traits. I no longer want to blame my anger on my heritage (Irish). I want to forgive! I don't want to be seen as hard and callused over. May the Lord do His will this year. May everything I do bring Him glory! And I thank You Lord for giving me these abilities and passions...and I thank you for allowing me to use them for You! God bless all!

God is love...Love is real...
