1) go to the doctor since you haven't eaten for the past 6 days. get tested for an ulcer. wait for results.
2) admit that you are, in fact, human and may have made some mistakes.
3) realize that, in His mercy and glory, God can and will redeem those mistakes.
4) understand that nothing has to be permanent.
5) figure out a way to have your own space, even if it means moving down into your parent's basement with peach-colored walls and a mountain goat head mounted in the corner.
6) start. praying. not the half-hearted, only-when-there's-something-really-important-that-i-want kind of praying that you have been doing. acknowledge that you may never get your act together and just lay it all down at His feet.
7) look out your window at the beautiful colorado sky and remember that there is Something greater than you out there. Someone who loves more fully and more deeply and more perfectly than we can know. Someone who's purposes always prevail over our own.
May the Lord bless us and keep us tonight and always...
