Heartened.

Hey everyone, this will be a rather sane post and completely unlike the utter rubbish that was the previous post, which grows in absurdity each time I read it over.

This moment I come to the Create Post page encouraged and in high spirits, for I am heartened by what has happened through the day.

It's funny that my spiritual life is only invigorated this year in secular, seemingly academics-focused RJC whereas it had been staggering and threatening to fade away through my 4 years in Catholic High. Perhaps its the maturity of the people around me now in junior college, in addition of course to my coming out of the all-boys school childishness affliction. I am thankful that around me I see more and more shining examples who live in God's glory and are able to encourage and awaken me from spiritual laziness. It is wonderful, really, to have been placed in places where I am able to grow spiritually by God's grace.

And I hope that I am able to keep the love of God burning in me and that I may be of good testament to his Word and lead a life that is more Christ-like. It is very, very tough and a struggle to lead a life as far as possible without sin, but I believe that it is possible through prayer and consumption of the Word and will gradually become easier as I grow stronger in faith.

I am encouraged, and I am heartened, and I am excited.
