Vitameatavegamin

Do you poop out of parties? Are you unpopular? I have something better than vitameatavegamin. This week has been surprisingly refreshing for the most part. Don't get me wrong, it has been the same amount of crazy as normal, but God has given me an extra dose of inner sunshine. At the end of spring break I was having a hard time remembering why the heck I am putting myself through all the craziness. I was finding myself treating everything as a chore. It was really weighing on me because I really wanted to have the bright and shiny attitude I started the semester with. So I asked for some reminders of why I am doing what I'm doing. Knowing that you have healthy and God-centered intentions or motivations help so much when you are driving home at 1:00 and know you have a test early the next morning or when you realize how long it has been since you have had a hug from your favorite people back home. 
Matthew 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. 
How many times have we found this to be true? God does not let us down. Instead, He will send us those little reminders to build us up. These tidbits of motivation may be an email from your SLHS teacher asking you to be a research assistant next year or maybe laughing until you cry with your pledge sisters (cough Romeo and lola cough). Where is your heart this week? Don't go through another week thinking the grass is greener on the other side. Ask God for some green tinted glasses and dance your way through work, school, and even play. Above all, if you are glorifying God you will be satisfied and He will delight in watching you. That is more powerful than anything this life could throw at you. 


P.S. I prayed that God would send me a lot of money at the casino on Saturday because it was my first time. Not that He is a fan of gambling or anything but I won $200 on the first penny slot I paid. I cashed out and that was the end of my gambling. Taylor Swift here I come!!!
