"Only when we are no longer afraid
do we begin to live in every experience,
painful or joyous,
to live in gratitude for every moment,
to live abundantly."

I came to the realization that I was trying to live out other people's ideals.
It had less to do with God, and more to do with other people's perceptions of what they think God wants and what they personally think is the only way.
Self-deception. It's so natural and easy to live in denial.
The fear of man.
"God is on my side;
I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?"
(Psalm 118:6)

Emily at chatting at the sky talks about grace for the good girl here.
I was a good girl gone bad, then I was trying to be "good-er" than good, and now, well, now I'm just trying to be real and genuine. Some people have farther to travel than others.
