Dear God,

I had a rather interesting day today.  It started off great, you had your palm on my head all morning.  I can't believe how hard you were working on me today.  You got me thinking about me for a change and what would make me happy.  See, I'm starting to realize that pretty much my whole life I was worrying about what other people thought of me and what I did/would do.  That's what caused my selfishness.  I would always be doing what, I thought, others wanted me to do which was the wrong thing because it angered me instead of made me happy.  But now with your guidance I was able to think and open up to my parents about what I wanted from life and how I want to live.  I was able to share what I was happy about and what I wasn't happy about in my life.

Thank you for giving me that strength to be open.  That's how I want to live, that's how I want to be.  I want to be true to you and everyone that I interact with.  I want to be dancing everyday of my life.  I want to be happy every morning that I wake up.  What makes me happy is when I can help someone accomplish their goals.

With your grace and my faith in you, I know that I can live the life you have planned for me.  I know I can worship you great on my own, but I know that with her by my side we can worship you better and spread your word better together than apart.  I am asking that you guide us on our own as we learn about ourselves, but I'm also asking that you guide us back together.

Thank you for this day.

Love,

Mike
