I failed miserably. I invited many people, but only two of them actuallly came. But I guess I need to look at it as two is better than I did last semester when I focused on three people and had no one come. At least this semester I invited a ton of people. So, in a sense, I did better than I did last semester, but I still failed my goal.
dang it!
This goes along with my take one day a week goal I completed, but I wanted to do something new along with it. So, for the next two months I am going to start on Tuesdays and pick one friend of mine and make sure that I pray for them the next seven days. I think that I’m gonna really like this goal just like the other one. But I want to make it clear that I am still going to keep the whole one day a week of putting my selfish needs aside and pray for nother people… I’m just going to make sure that person is included.
yayy!
So, I did something else with it too. I dyed it! =] Now, it’s not a drastic change, but a change nonetheless.
and guess what?!
I love it!
So three months have passed and I have done this goal. It has pretty much changed my life, I love the feelings I get when I know that I put aside all my selfish crap for one day, twenty-four hours, to focus on other people’s needs, like finances, illnesses, harships, and even somes salvation. Its a feeling that I couldnt even begin to explain, you just have to expierence it for yourself to fully know what I mean.
And don’t get me wrong, just because I can finally check this goal off as done, I will never really be done with it because I am going to continue to do it for as long as I possibly can.

Today I bought a journal. It’s a beautiful one with gold lined pages and black bound leather. I think it will inspire me to write everyday like I want to. It will inspire me to write my life story. I’m excited.
As of last thursday, two people. Two weeks ago, I invited two girls and only one could make it, then last week, both of them came together.
I still have three people to go, so I am getting out there, speading the word of Fusion. This goal WILL be accomlished!
I went a full week resisting those tempting buttons. haha This goal will get checked off at the end of the semester, but if, and only if, i don’t use the buttons at all! Even if I push one button one time, I will consider this failed since there is only two weeks left, which means ten days. If I cant refrain for ten days, I’m a failure at this goal.
haha
ST. Patricks church. I have always loved it, and not because I went there the first 15 years of my life, but because the design and colors of it amaze me. There is something about the architecture that sets it apart from other churches and makes it just beautiful to me.
So far, I have on person. Four more to go. And only a month left. Dang, I better get moving!
I’ve been looking around and I have a few cars in mind. However, I’m waiting to actually buy one until after I get back from the cruise, that way I can talk to my grandma about cosigning for me and everything and I can actually make the payments.
woohoo
This used to be one of my goals, but it somehow disappeared. haha. But you’ll never guess…
My went to the travel agency to pay off our cruise and came back with three booklets. I was so confused, and then I thought that maybe she was just being my mom and wanted to look through them. But then, she hands me one and says here, take a look. And the front of it says “Italy in 2008” and I just look at her and she smiles and told me that she talked to the lady and if we start paying when we get home from the cruise, next summer… WE CAN GO TO ITALY!!! Ohmigosh, my lifelong dream vacation is coming true! The trip we want to take will take us to Florence, Venice, and Rome! I cant being to explain to you how excited I am.
God is so cool for letting this happen!

I think I’m going to work on one big thing for this goal. I likt it so far. =]
I am seriously working hard on this goal. School is pretty much amzaing this semester! I am actually going to class, I havent skipped in a while now. I was behind in my english class, but I got the late papers done and they will be turned in Tuesday, so as far as school work goes, everything is done now. I’m still stressed out, but thats just because I know that I have to keep this up for the rest of semester otherwise I will totally get behind. But as of right now, things are going great!
=]
I finally think I can check this goal as done. For now. I fasted about it, I got an answer, and I have been trying to follow through with it. Things have been really good, I’m not thinking about him… actually, I’m hardly thinking about him at all. God spoke to me when I fasted and I came to the conclusion that there is so much that would have to change right now that it isn’t worth the time right now. God pretty much told me to stop holding on and let it all go back to Him again and things would be okay. And it isnt one but suprising that He was right… everything is okay.
I am not ruling it out for good. Because God has something in store for me and I don’t know what that is, but I AM ruling the possibility and the want to be with him out for now.
funny/great thing? I LOVE writing this entry. It’s amazing.
So, I think that I can check this goal off because even though I DO think about him, it isn’t in the same way… not anymore… for now.
It bothers me when other people push those little red buttons to get into the bathrooms at school and to get into the school in general, yet I do it on a regular basis. It just shows me how lazy I truly am. It is going to stop. Until the end of this year, I vow to not push those annoying buttons!
thats that.

CYM is totally going to do as steadfast does and MOVE. Last year, we raised $5,000 for speed the light to buy a missionary a vehicle, and this year, we are going to raise so much more to buy them fuel to fill that car, as well as others. A dollar a day, thats all we need to sacrifice.. to me, it doesn’t seem like a sacrifice at all.
This is going to be amazing!
This is a tough one. Tough because I have passions in my life already like God, writing, singing etc.. but I don’t think that I LIVE passionately. I want to start having a passion for life. The fact that I am living and that I am living the life I am. I am giving myself a timeline on this. Three months. I want to blog about this daily with a new passion about life. (or semi-daily). I am going to find small things and make them bigger, take dull things and make them beautiful through passion. I think that by the end of this goal, my outlook on life will be so much more positive, and I will be able to see the good in almost every situation because of the passion I will have for that situation.
excited!
This pictures was also taken on the outskirts of town on a country road by Dimmick Grade School. I went to turn around and I did a U turn and there it was right in front of me, the sun getting smothered by the dark clouds, and the road that led me do a destination unknown. I loved it!
I saw Kates goal to list strange, unique, beautiful things in the Valley, and that inspired me to adopt this goal. On Easter, my little cousin and I drove around and got a head start on this goal, and I realized that there are truly some beautiful places in LaSalle that no one takes the time to notice. So, this goal is not only for me, but for others to see the beauty and potential that LaSalle really, actually has.
The picture above is a picture that was taken on the out skirts of town, I’m not quite sure what it is exactly, (it is part of a landscaping business I think) but all I knew is that with the snow coming down and the angle I was at, it was beautiful.
