I decided that after I type this entry and let it circulate for a couple days, I am going to delete my xanga.

It's something I feel I need to sacrifice for God.

Please don't scoff, but take me seriously here. 

This semester worry has eaten away at my life, and having something like xanga foolishly makes me think I can deal with it on my own, by typing it out, getting comments from friends, etc.  It also distracts me from really working out my problems. 

I need to remember that God is my only true and perfect source of wisdom, and if I am going to worry, I need to cast my anxiety on him (1 Peter 5:6-7).

Plus, I am working on not worrying at all (Matthew 6:25-34).  I want to clarify that sometimes a healthy concern about a problem is a good thing, because we do have responsibility in our lives.  I think it's important to remember that, because sometimes we can't just let something loose in a journal or to a friend; we do have to take necessary steps to get ourselves in the right place.  And I want to do that.  I am definitely a girl who likes to take care of business. :)

So I just wanted to say my little goodbye, give my reasons why and throw one last public smile on my holy and wonderful God, who is so good to always be there for me when I turn to Him.  He's there for you too, you know.
