God :) thanks for being with me even when I'm feeling so distant from You.
Thank You for the rush of excitement I get when thinking about social policy, my racing heartbeat, my desire to work hard to make a difference.

You've clearly been by my side... The conversion from econs to social work was amazing, but what blows me away even more is the fact that I've come full circle, back to policy, back to equity... By bringing me to social work, You've affirmed my love for econs, You've put me in the best place I could be to work for equity... I'm so thankful, so thankful.

You've blessed me infinitely. You've never made it difficult for me to follow Your will. In fact... Your will truly is what's best for me, what makes me most happy... I know it now.
You've been so good to me. So good to me. I'm so sorry, so sorry for hurting You. Please... help me keep You in sight.

"It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal."

O Lord, I want to do so much... through You, for the people You love. Through policy, through research, through the skills and gifts You've so generously bestowed upon me... interpersonal skills, music, intelligence, food-related skills, joy, love...

Keep me rooted in You always.
