"Do or Don't Do! There is no Try!"

I learned this little saying about a year and a half ago. And I have to say that it can be very useful. I am trying to motivate myself to do all the things that I need to be doing. Making some New Year's resolutions before the New Year.

1. Start going back to church. I never knew that leaving my church family could be so hard! I miss them...I need to find a new one but I have been shamming!

2. Get on top of Grad school and the GRE!! I think I'm just scared to go through applying and preparing to be in school again! I know that if I don't I will get antsy soon because I'm not really a person that likes to just sit there and do nothing!

3. 2 months ago I sent a letter to the first female football coach and have yet to hear anything back from her. And I know that I need to send a follow-up letter. I just haven't yet...

4. I went and bought new running shoes and workout pants in the hopes that this wold motivate me to be more diligent with my health...and to an extent it has. But I need to push myself over the hump and I just haven't done it!

5. Volunteer!! I just feel like a bum on my days off from work! I keep telling myself that I need to find someplace to volunteer my time but I haven't really looked into many places.

6. Get in contact with this lady about a new job. I have loved Trader Joe's because they have been so good to me. But a part of me just can't take working there anymore! I'm tired of pretentious people looking down on me! I'm over bagging and stocking groceries every single day! I try to hold my complaining to a minimum because God knows I'm thankful to be employed!

7. Get my cello and start playing again! Now all of this isn't on me! But I need to be persistent with people. I WANT my cello so bad! Maybe I should act like it!

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

RIP

Yesterday, I found that my Aunt Lou (my grandmother's sister) passed. This is my first time dealing with the of someone so close to me. When my sisters and I spent summers in Detroit we spent a majority of our time with her. It has been hard for me to deal with mostly because my grandmother has lost both of her younger sisters. The only thing I can think of is that my grandmother being the oldest is going to be gone soon as well.
