A Dream

Had a dream night before last. I know it was God showing me this...it's not like I pondered it all for a long time and just figured it all out. I say 'a dream' but it really came in those strange moments inbetween unconsciousness and when memory kicks on and begins recording data. It was like someone else was saying it, but I was saying it to myself as well, in agreement. It was this...that I have been living my life as if I need to do everything right the first time around, that mistakes are dreadful, and that I need to strive to be absolutely perfect.

But now, I am to live my life as one big, huge learning experience. I am going to make mistakes, going to do things imperfectly, so I don't need focus on being perfect, but on learning from those mistakes. That's it. It was as simple and easy as that.

But it's like a brand new day! It IS a brand New Year. It's a brand new mindset! It's a brand new outlook on life and the business of living it! It's a fresh start! It's a second chance! Everything really IS going to be ok! I'm ready to get back to FSU, and to take advantage of the small time in college that I have left! I want to make every day count. I want to LIVE MY LIFE, TOTALLY ALIVE!!!

Deut. 4:4. But you that adhere to the Lord your God, are all alive until this present day.
