He has made me Glad

So this is where I pledge my allegiance to St. John's Citadel.

Tonight, I shall finally be receiving my St. John's Citadel epaulet bars. It actually means a lot to me. I'm no longer a visitor or a temporary. And I'm no longer considering transferring to St. John's West. I am part of St. John's Citadel.

My retreat weekend has made me realize just how much of my happiness has stemmed from the Citadel over the past few months. I am grateful for the people that comprise its assurance. I am grateful to be a part of something so hopeful. I am grateful for the attitude change that came just in His time.

I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart.

I will enter His courts with praise.

I will say, "This is the day that the Lord has made!"

I will rejoice, for He has made me glad.
