Bring in the New Year...

    In two days we will all be celebrating the ball drop and remembering that you write 2012 instead of 2011!! I have never done a big New Year's celebration. My family and I just have a mini celebration at the house. This year I get to join a few friend's for a celebration at someone's house!! Par-tay over there!!! Anyways...that's not the point
     I have always wondered why everyone waits for a New Year to make resolutions. If I plan on bettering myself or making a change I don't want to wait for a new year to make changes. Why not tomorrow? What's wrong with going into 2012 already a new person? I appreciate the concept of, "a new year, new me." Personally, I feel that on July 7 I should be able to make the same resolutions.
     Instead, we should be focused on making new habits...everyday. If I noticed that I have been lacking in faith and need to be more prayerful I shouldn't wait until the new to change that. I should find a way to work prayer into my everyday or whatever my 'flaw' may be.
     Needless, to say I didn't make any New Year resolutions. I'm constantly working on being more positive and bettering myself. I'm determined to make better habits. More volunteering. More smiling. More praying. More praising. More loving. More reading. More understanding. More learning. More exercising. I think you get where I'm going. With that being said:

What are some of your New Year's Habits????

Untitled thoughts

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

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...
