So, hello dear [probably non-existent] readers [well if there are any, thanks. I think you're awesome for spending some of the precious minutes of your day on my silly thoughts]. It's 2010 now, and months since I last wrote anything. [The reason I really don't write that much is because I have this philosophy that people & relationships are the most important things in life. Because people are the only living beings with souls [that's my belief] therefore I spend as much time with other people as possible. And next to people I spend my time doing school work [it's costing a fortune so it must be done]. Soooo anyway I spend my time with people & doing schoolwork so I have no/little time for writing. Thanks for being patient & trying to understand my reasonings].
Anyway, it is now 2010 & a few things have changed in my life & I have some goals for this year that I'd like to write about. First off for the changes, I have a boyfriend now. His name is Justin & we've been friends for almost 3 years, & then bAm! things got a bit more serious between us over Christmas break:). He's pretty awesome.
Also, I'm a prayer leader/small group Bible study leader on my hall this semester. Several girls that were in this position had to step down for various reasons, so my RA's prayed about asking some others of us to step up & take the positions. & so I prayed about it, & felt God telling me to do it, so I did. I'm really enjoying it, & the 5 lovely ladies in my group are amazing.
As for my goals, first & foremost, I would like to grow closer to God [I'm a Christian for those who don't know]. I have an incredibly busy schedule this semester, & I won't lie, it is a struggle sometimes to pull out my Bible at the end of the day when I'm super tired & its 2am [because I stayed up watching Gilmore Girls with the ladies in my quad]. But I know that I would suffocate without my time with Him -- SUFFOCATE. His words are LIFE to my SOUL. It would be like I didn't drink coffee in the morning when I'm forced out of my beautiful slumber by a harrowing alarm clock [is harrowing the correct word there?]. It is also paramount that I stay close to Him so that I can lead my prayer group ladies in their walks with Him -- for if I cannot teach something I do not live. Stemming from this, I plan to at least ONCE this year travel to a different place & serve my God. I would really love to go to Europe but I don't think that will happen in the year 2010...my church back home, however, is going to Ecuador in the summer, & Honduras in December, I would love love LOVE to go on both trips but I do not know if that will be possible. I also intend to better my relationships with all the people close to me, & there are also various books I would like to read this year & get good grades in my classes to bring up my GPA & things like that....
but anyway, those are the major goals for myself this year. I should probably make myself re-read this post every week, to keep these things in perspective...because it is so easy sometimes to loose perspective [especially when one is in college..]. Any thoughts? What are your goals for this year? Truly, I would like to know [if you are there...ha].
