Today was an interesting day

I was completely dreading it - dreading waking up, getting ready, and the walk to school.  But today was actually a lot better than I thought.

The reason I think so is because I had the constant awareness of the Holy Spirit within me.  I know this may sound irrelevant, but just this mere fact made my day a whole lot better.  I was praying throughout the day to not be so indifferent to people and to be as friendly as I could (or at least I tried to be, if I didn't come off as so then I wasn't intentionally trying to make anyone upset?)- because for some 'coincidence' the devotions I've been reading and some sermons I've listened talked about walking like Jesus did and being a faithful follower.  For most of the day I just kept repeating in my head 'What would Jesus do what would Jesus do what would Jesus do'.

And then I was reminded that self-confidence as a Christian doesn't come through me, it comes through the Holy Spirit.
