I should very much like to be better at praying. I'd like to be strong in it, lifting weights off the shoulders of my friends and my family through petition, then letting God take all that is heavy in my heart.
I would also like to be decisive. I think the two desires will help each other in creating a state of actual being.
I think I feel a change coming on. A tickling of green in my stomach, a little tree perhaps. A flower?

Before I change all the way towards good decision making...I might have to back out of going to college. I went for my placement test the other day, and became overwhelmed. I have a lot to learn, and maybe not the energy to devote toward the necessary study. *sighs*

Will you take a suggestion from someone who stinks at praying yet has been inspired deeply by something simple? Try the Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner." For more info, check out "The Way of the Pilgrim" by an anonymous Russian of the 19th century. Go to the public library and find it. I guarantee they will have it. For a literary tie, try "Franny & Zoe" by J.D. Salinger.
Chuss.
you have a real poetry in your expression. it is a delight to read.
