emo

I learned...well, I guess I already knew this, but I had it spelled out for me yesterday, that I really am an emotional person. (more so than logical, anyway)

I wonder how much this has to do with being an artsy.
I wonder how much this has to do with how happy I am (or, am not) in the CanRef Church.
I wonder how much this has to do with the time I spend (or, don't spend) in diligent, disciplined devotion.

I wonder what I'm gonna do with how I feel about all this. Because really--it's not how you feel about things that counts--it's what you do with how you feel. It's how you respond in that emotion, how you act out the things that you know and how you react to things that you know. It's how you decide to live your life.

I KNOW I have JOY in my life. I don't always feel like it...but I definitely can strive to live this way.

With His help, of course.

I can be very emotional too. Especially reading books and watching movies . . . even if they are cartoon or animated!!
