I'm quickly learning...

that nothing is going to be quite as easy as I have always thought it would be. I am going to have to work extremely hard at every single thing I do. That is a little bit terrifying to me and a little bit of a relief. It is terrifying because there is so much that I want to do. It is a relief for two reasons : One, I know how to work hard, that's all I have ever known. Two, God is faithful and will provide energy for all the hard work I have to do.

I have just come to the realization that things are not going to be handed to me. They never really have been, but even with school, I have never had to work that hard to get good grades. I am learning, always learning. I will have to put everything I have into everything I do, including school, including music, including acting, including it all.

God wouldn't have called me to do this, if he wasn't going to give me the capability and the love for it. I am certain that I was called to this. I am completely in love with what I'm doing with music and acting, now all I need to do is believe that God has given me the talent to pursue it.

I am thankful that God gives new mercies every day.

He is such a personal God that he has designed mercies for every day that I will live. Everything is covered. Thank you Jesus!
