I am back! Let me explain myself. I grew up being the type of person that was ALWAYS happy. I had a constant joy and thankfulness for my life. God has challenged me in a lot of ways these past couple years and I think I lost my constant joy. I definitely had moments where I was happy, but I think that I was "faking it" a lot more than I did in the past. It was easier for some people to notice this than others. Whether it was anxiety about the future, stress about school, or just a bunch of little problems, I let everything add up and begin to bog me down. It is easy to become complacent in life and fall into these types of moments. There is never a reason to stress about life. God is in control, not us. So why do we let stuff burden us?
This trip was a leap of faith for me and God has already been working in my life. Separating myself from what I am comfortable with has encouraged me let go of some of the things that I have been so worried about recently. I am also realizing how important friends are. I have been focusing on those who make me feel like a "million bucks" and it truly does make me feel "awesome." (as my good friend Barney says) Life is too short to invest your time in friends who bring ya down. I miss MN and all my friends, but I am excited to come back a better man; a son of God who is excited for life and excited to spread joy. :)
