Happiness

Someone asked me how I was today, and I actually had a long think, due to the encouragement of my pastor for Christians to answer honest, and answered honestly.
“Fantastic.”

I don’t know when I realised how happy I am, but I am truly blessed. I have a very heavy workload, but I’m on top of it, I made huge grounds with my project today, including doing something my supervisor reckoned I wouldn’t be able to accomplish in a month. I’ve got two flatmates who I get on really well with. I’ve got great friends at church and on my course. Most of all though, I’ve got the two best friends a man can have, Jesus and Lindsay (my beautiful girlfriend and soulmate).

People think it’s funny talking about having a relationship with Jesus, and, to be honest, if you aren’t a Christian, I full on give you permission to call me a wierdo for it, because it does sound strange. Since becoming a Christian almost 4 1/2 years ago now, my life seems to just get exponentially better each year, and I become more fulfulled and satisfied with my life today, rather than looking forward to some future event or relationship or job or possession I need to make everything right in my life.

Things are right now. Things are great now. My project may not be done, but it’s in progress. I’m far from perfect, but I’m growing and improving as a person each year. I’m a dick, but I’m becoming less of one. I’m not married to Lindsay, but, I hope, I will be one day. This doesn’t matter though because I’m happy now. Thank you to all my friends, my family, Jesus and Lindsay for making my life what it is. I wish as I go to bed is that more people might be as lucky as I am.

Night.
