“I want to be a better human.” 

 

I’ve said that a lot lately. Like multiple times a day for a few months. 

Words have a lot of power. Did you know? I forget that all too often.

We have two constant companions as Christians: Jesus and our own self. Which means we have two voices to hear in order to make decisions, to determine who we are, and to realize our worth. The unfortunate part is that humans mostly, are incredibly loud when it comes to opinions- we always feel the need to voice it. God however, oftentimes, whispers quietly. So it’s SO easy to listen to your own opinion of yourself. 

I’ve been doing that a lot lately. Which is kind of a bummer because I end up thinking too much about myself and those thoughts always end up being self depricating lies. 

I have been immobilized for the past month regarding the race because of fear. Fear is an outrageous feeling, that is always a dirty liar. I don’t hate feelings, mind you. They are however, not something that should be relied on to control actions or lives. 

Its February 15th, and I’ve decided to not let fear or lies ruin my life anymore. 

Wanting to be a better human is foolish. 

I want to be like Jesus. 

 

All my love,
