Dear Lord,
Creator of the Universe, my God and Heavenly Father, praise and honor be yours forever and ever.
O, Lord, let me pour our my heart to You, for only to You is my heart stripped bare. Only to You can I let go of pretense. Lord, this I know You have told me: to rejoice, to live fully, to love completely, and to walk humbly with You. That would probably look like this. I wake up in the morning, excited about going about the work You have prepared for me. I am excited about getting to work to make games and episodes and comics and books to reach different segments of people to show them Your love, Your way, and going about showing how great and awesome and exciting Your world is. I am excited because I know I could do it. And I'm doing it for You, and it's greater than me. And so I get up excited. I eat breakfast with a song in my heart. I have sun in me, and that means energy enough to go to the gym and work out with that song still within me. Then I go to work, work that I believe in. Work that is not devoid of significance and meaning for I am doing it for the Creator of the Universe. I am doing it to bring hope and love and joy into the hearts of the young. My smile is ready on my lips. My team is there, and part of the things I hold as important is also the development and enjoyment of my employees. It is a wonderful and epic studio. We start the day with devotion. We end the week with celebration. And we help people. We go about the year reaching out. And not just giving money or feeding people. But giving them also significance, and hope, and dreams. Life is meaningful. And good. And joy is the path that is chosen.
But who will love me, Lord? Why is this sadness, this loneliness, persistent? I pray for Your love, Lord, so that I do not seek desperately. I pray for Your peace and joy, Lord, that I may be beautiful. And so my heart will quiet down.
Maybe for now, I'll just work for someone. But I will put on a different persona when I start this new job. For this season, I am soft-spoken, I smile readily, I am gentle, and I care about the people I work with. This is my training in humility. This is my training in reaching out and actually making people feel significance. I also need to reach out to my relatives. I need to give time to my aunts. And also take up responsibility for my goddaughter.
