I admit that I am human and I make mistakes. In fact, I make a lot of mistakes. I am often irrational and act on what I am feeling in the moment. Being young and in college, I find that there are plenty of opportunities to make new mistakes. Young adulthood is often the time in a person's life where they make a lot of choices and must learn to suffer the consequences. It is a time in a person's life where they are presented with lots of freedom, as well as lots of responsibility.
Although responsibility is often seen as a good thing, it doesn't always feel that way. When we fail to take care of the responsibilities we have been given we fail ourselves and must learn from our mistakes. I sometimes feel like I am in a dark place, but it is in that darkness that I also find comfort. God speaks to us all the time, but sometimes it takes us hitting rock bottom for us to really hear Him.
The darker of a place I find myself in, the more I am humbled. It is when I am at my weakest that I am forced to cry out to God for help. Although I know that as a Christian I am called to be more I don't always do so. Rather than setting myself apart, I often find myself held captive to the ways of this world. I do not always reflect my faith through the way I live my life. I make the same stupid mistakes as many non-believers.
Even though I am in no way perfect, God continues to love on me and pour out His grace over me. Although I do not always make the wisest choices, I know that I still have a Father who loves me and is proud to call me His daughter. I also have supportive friends who take care of me when I am at my weakest. They look out for me. Even though I do not deserve it, they continue to love me and show me grace through their own words and actions. Although I am a wreck, I also know that I am saved by grace and loved by God.
