- Others are always more important than I am: This lesson seems to be a constant theme in my life, but this week was different. I was so conscious of my selfishness, and then God really convicted me. Though personal time is important and necessary, my time with people needs to be more so.
- I am terrible with procrastination: Many college students fall into the procrastination rut, but it tears me a part. I hate the feelings of stress, anxiety, and self-consciousness, like most people, but when these feelings are connected to academics, I feel sick. So, I am committing to using the time I have wisely. Long process? Probably, but I'm ready for it!
- My family is better than yours: I'm so amazed by the family that surrounds me. This week, I've had so much good happen in my family relationships. I can't get over the joy I know with them. It's amazing, and I can't wait for more!
- Rest is good: For any one who knows me, rest has been a huge part of my spiritual growth. Just read my last post and you'll understand. Again this week, God used people, music, and his Word to draw me to his rest. So, so good.
- I am in head-over-heels love with music: Music is definitely a part of my life - I sing it, listen to it, occasionally create it. Yet this past week, any time I'd be struggling with classes, friendships, inner battles, and so on, God used music to speak his Truth to me and to simply comfort me.
In all these lessons, I realize the glory goes to God! My humanity failed this week, yet God made something lovely from it all. AMEN! So be it.

Your family is not better than mine.
Aside from that, I am so glad for what God is doing in your life. He is wonderful.
It took me some time but I realized for me that music is my muse, not my passion. It was liberating to find that discovery because it helped validate me on the course that suddenly fell upon me. I doubt that when I was in high school that I could have known that I was going to be the person I am today. Of course, I still have similar road blocks, but my approach is completely different. I'm glad that you have similar aspirations that you did in high school. Remember, God doesn't want just a piece of you; he wants to use every last part of you because he loves every last part of you and was willing to die because of the value that he sees in you.
