• hi again

  well, i haven't been on here in a long time, and a lot has changed since then, so i've decided to basically give it all a fresh start.

  wow, how to sum up my life in a few sentences....

  i'm a recent college graduate..... looking for some support and encouragement and advice, specifically from a christian perspective. i enjoy reading about other people's lives who really are so similar to mine - its encouraging to really know that i'm NOT "the only one."

  so, why psalms 16? its recently become like a theme chapter for my life..... maybe i'll go into that more later, but for now,

  psalms 16, my own paraphrase:

  Keep me safe, O God. I trust You with my life.
  Be my Lord, my all-in-all! Without you, nothing makes sense.
  Your people are wonderful and they make me happy, but those who run after other gods will never be happy. I refuse to be like them and do what they do and say.
  My choice is you, God, first and only. You are all I want. And You say You want me too!
  You make my life worth living, and I don't worry about what the future will hold.
  I praise You for being my guide and adviser. Even in the darkest night, words from You fill my mind.
  When I am feeling down, Your words give me hope.
  I will always look to You, as You stand beside me and protect me from fear. You are my Hero. With You by my side, I can face anything.
  My heart sings and I will rest in You. I will rest in hope, because I know You know and want what is best for me.
  Show me the path of life that You have dreamed for me. With You there is joy beyond all measure.
  You always give me reason to be happy. I know that You will never leave me.
