    Thank you guys, seriously, so much for everything you’ve said. I don’t think these feelings are just gonna go away overnight, but I do feel better today than I have in a while.
    I don’t know that I could honestly say I feel the same excitement you do about what God is gonna do with us here, but I feel more hopeful than I have in a while that God can change that in me. Not only that he can, but that he will. Being so encouraged by you reminds me how important it is to be open with people, and talk about the hard things. I have a tendency to keep everything to myself. I didn’t even realize how bad I am, but God is showing me just how much I distance myself with people to protect myself. That’s so wrong though. If you guys would, I could really use more prayers that I would be less selfish. Honestly, I’m so, so selfish I can’t even tell you. I hate that about myself so much though, and I want so badly for God to change that in me. I really think selfishness is the root of all my problems. Especially my struggle to be not only content, but excited about being here.

    Of course, it’s okay with me, grace! I want to do whatever I can to help you with whatever you’re struggling with right now. (I can completely relate to what you said about self-pity xD) Same with you, Ashira, or anyone else who might read through this thread in the future. Please don’t hesitate to talk to me. Like I said before, keeping things to yourself isn’t good.
