I think this is what people mean when they write their goal is “to enjoy life” etc. It is a laying down of tasks, it is a laying down of the fairy tale wonderland that we think we will have if we just did “this one last thing”.
It is picking up the day moment by moment and embracing the life we are given.
I dont mean to sound as though I am abandoning all initiative- There are still things I’d like to do-
however I am only approaching the truth of the real ultimate goal, and I do beleive there is one.
It is laying aside my plans for my life and listening to what God’ s plans are. It is a laying aside of thinking that activity and acheivement are what makes- me. It is a laying aside of putting my hope in the ability to achieve. And it is picking up the assurance that God has complete love for me, that my life is really His anyway and that He can bring about so much more and better than I could- even if I had all the plans, the insider tips, all the money or whatever else I needed to make my life a success.
I can Do so many things to make me or my life better, but only He knows what I need to Be better.
Well thats the end of my monolog here,
Blessings to anyone who reads it!

Registered for my pre-requisites today. 11 hours- almost 3/4 time.
I really lucked out with scheduling also-The opportunity to work two doubles per week has allowed me to take an extra class that I need.
So yeah- I am on my way.
Now, I just have to get as close to a 4.0 as possible in order to get accepted into the nursing program.
Wish me faith, perserverence, patience…

I dont think this is a goal to be “checked off”, but I would like to, more and more often, be able to give to others the Love, Mercy and Grace that has been poured out onto me.
