There's something about starting anew that is strange. It is completely refreshing and wonderful, but at the same time it's uncontrollable and dangerous. How so? Well, after going to a high school with a lot of people who knew me and my heart well, I've realized something: These people who are in this new world of mine, they don't know my heart. And I wonder what they see in me. I desire to live a life that represents Christ in the best way possible, but sometimes, I'm afraid I fail Him without even knowing it. I assume others know my heart like my close friends do. I think they know my hopes and my prayers. But perhaps they do not. First impressions rock people's worlds. Often, the way someone views a person is through their initial judgements. So I pray that I will live in such a way such that others around me will somehow see this heart of mine, and Jesus in the center of it. And as I look at the world, I hope I do not see others through a lens of judgement, but of God's love.
