Good morning, God, and thank you very much for this new day. I've been doing my best to use my time off to take care of some things that I simply don't have time for while school is in session, so I haven't been writing these notes to you as often as I'd like--sorry about that! You know you're still in my thoughts, though, and in my heart.
I'm thinking this morning about time, and just how strange it is. When I think about it, there simply is no way that we could be halfway through another year, but when I look at today's date, I find that we'll be there in just a few days. I don't understand time, especially the relativity involved with it. Sometimes it feels as if two weeks take forever to get through, while other times it feels like two months just fly by. This half year has flown, something that can be quite nerve-wracking as we get older. After all, the faster time goes, the sooner our deaths come, right? And while I don't spend my time worrying about death (how useless would that be?), I do recognize that the time I have available to me to do some good on this planet before I leave is shrinking with each day that passes.
So one thing I would ask of you is that you help me to stay focused on doing good, on accomplishing things that will help other people. I truly want to contribute to this world, in positive ways, and I want to stay focused on you and your love and the concept of loving others with unconditional love each day that I'm on this planet--and you can help me with that, with the reminders that I may need to keep myself focused. And I also ask you to push me in the directions in which I can do the most good for everyone, if you would. I don't expect you to guide my every move as if I were a puppet, but I know that I'm not so good at recognizing opportunities and new directions, so any help is much appreciated.
In any case, I thank you much for this new day, and I hope to live up to its promise by doing the things that I truly want and need to do.
