Early this morning I really got to thinking about some things. First, I started to think about my out look on life and what I am showing others. Most people have one of two out looks on life...either positive or negative. I am in between but lean more towards a negative out look. But I began to realize that my out look on life may cause others around me to gain the same perspective. That's not something I want. I want my influence on others to be positive and uplifting. Not negative and depressing. I want them to see that I have something good inside because what Christ has done for me and what He in turn can do for them. Why should life be negative? There is a secret behind this...IT'S CALLED A CHOICE. We don't have to walk around feeling negative. We can CHOOSE to be positive even if life is a little tough. Jesus is always here for us no matter what we go through so we should defiantly something to be positive about!! :D It's also about how we view ourselves. If we think negatively about ourselves then that is what we will portray on the outside. This has been very eye opening for me today, and now I know how to change this negative outlook that I have, by renewing my mind and transforming it through TRUTH! Wow, I am going to change my outlook so that others might be influenced to have a positive out look as well! :) Now as for trying something new..My goal for this next week is to do something kind for someone. It doesn't have to be big, it could just be a smile to brighten someones day. That is my goal. I want to show kindness to others and this is one way that I have thought about doing it. Don't really know how it will work just in trying stage as of right now! Might call it something like "Make a difference Monday" I used to hear this on the radio and really like d the idea of it. Some of the ways this can work: buy coffee at Starbucks and start a chain reaction. In the line @ 7-11 buy someones drink. Just start doing things that cause others to think and get them to doing the same thing. Just a thought, hope it works out. If you want to join me, send me a message and let me know the ways that you help someone this week!
Today (Saturday) I went to CR for the first time. It reminded me so much of Rescue the Girls, but so much deeper because it is a 12 step program. The girls that come have such heartbreaking stories it tears you apart. You can try and picture what it must be like to live through some of their stories and try to understand the grief they are going through because of the choices they have made but its next to impossible. You listen to the girls share and tears will stream down your face because you can't fathom what they are going through. You can tell them they have hope and a future but what if they don't feel that way, what if they feel that they are too screwed up to change their messes? Tell that to them, you might get a good response or you might get one that says something that kills you. I spent much of the day in prayer for these girls. I don't really know what to pray, just that God would be their hope and that they would realize that life in Him is worth living. That they would just make it through another day. What else can I do?? Nothing. But let me tell you. I was totally with my element today, I know that this is what God is wanting to do. Help girls in the same situations...and it won't be easy and it will take much prayer and effort. But I feel right at home. I don't feeel anything toward them but love and hope for their lives. God's timing is just right as always, I am gaining training & perspective in the best way possible: seeing how these women with such hurtful past take it minute by minute just to survive. My heart is heavy. All I can do is pray.
Wow, these past few weeks have really flown by! I have been under alot of stress/pressure and having some strange health probs with head aches, vision and other things. This is all due school lol! I cannot wait for May 8th to be here! I am literally going to take all of my stuff and burn it. With that said, life is been undergoing some major changes! Firstly, I have been focusing on my health, well as far as my eating, excersing! I think I posted about being on the brink of something big and new??? Well this is just a part! In the past two weeks I have lost a little over 12 wks. I have been combining Weight Watchers & The Biggest Loser together. Both programs are really great and plus I really love the show!! The people on there are so inspiring. If they can do...certainly I CAN AS WELL!!! :) As far as more changes....I am not addicted to myspace any longer....however, I am still working on FB and these sillly blogs. What makes this awesome?? Well, nothing quite yet!! LOL As soon as school is over I will have more TIME i feel as if I have none and it is driving me insane. My grades are all good with the exception of 1....to much to do....I am so good at procrastinating which really makes my stress level worse...so this week I finished up THREE projects and have started one that isn't due until April 20th. I want to get it finished so that I have time to focus on finals! Finally, I have a new scrap booking buddy!! My Mom has joined me on the addiction and it is so much fun watching her create pages and become more creative as the time goes on!! I have started my 5th one!!! I love it!!! I'll add some of my lay outs to show how cute they are!Well, that is my crazy life!!! Oh yeah, got a hair cut today and its super cute!! Will upload new pic later on!!
