So What do I do?

Well, I am having a hard time being an RA. No, not with my freshman girls - not with the rules - not with questions. But with dealing with everyone in my life. I want to hang out with old Pittman. I want to hang out with my new RA friends. I want to hang out with my new girls. I want to hang out with David and Tyler. I want to keep in touch with Noah's people. I want to skype SB.

What do I do?
I feel like I end up blowing everyone off.
I don't know how to balance everything.
There is no time in the world.

But either way.

One word: Freedom.
I feel so free. And not just spurts of freedom, but real, true freedom.
Free of judgment. Free of fear. Free of failure. Free of bitterness. Free of Nate. Free of Fairhope people. Free from the past. Free from anxiety about the future.
Just free.
And it is so wonderful.
I know "Free to Dance" is some cheesy little saying, but tonight, when I was dancing wildly/wrecklessly in front of the entire Samford class of 2014 and at the 90's party, I felt so much freedom. I was wild, sweaty, and ridiculous. And I was having the time of my life. It was so much fun.
Thank you, Jesus, for your grace that brings freedom - your love that covers fear - your forgiveness that allows me to forgive others - your strength that brings joy out of pain.

I know I've probably posted these pictures already this summer, but I like them.

    I hear ya. Its bard to BALANCE!!! I end up neglecting old friends because I'm focused on "my girls." Sigh.
    I want to skype too. What about later tonight? I'll text you.
    And what a good reminder about freedom - I love that. I'm so proud of you and I love you and I can't wait to skype.
    Oh, and I really liked one statment you made but I can't comment on it on a public website. ;)
