Hmmmmm

I know its an interesting title. Maybe it's because I missed class today or maybe it is because I am not too worried about it. Hmmmmm. That is exactly how I feel. Like an outsider looking in and wondering what will become of this day, this week, this month, this year, this life. Somewhat in anticipation and somewhat in idol curiosity (if there is such a thing), I await the events that will come. What kinds of actions and reactions will happen. Should I be worried or should I accept what comes my way. Am I making the right choices or will I soon crash. I am of the opinion that when things all seem to be going downhill fast, I am often exactly where God wants me to be. So I wonder am I right? Have I lost my mind, or am I just choosing to trust? Maybe sometimes they are the same thing and God understands and will work it out in the end. Of course, I know He will. He has never failed yet. I just wonder at the journey. This must be the peace and joy that passes understanding. When things all seem to be going wrong but you are not worried in fact you anticipate great things to happen all the same.

A plan for the day

I find myself in need of a list. I have been wasting time frivolously lately, and I must make a plan to actually accomplish more than one simple class assignment today. This seems like a good place to make lists and record my doings.
1. Practice Piano
2. Clean out car
3. Complete my Spanish story and take quiz
4. Make Shauna's present
5. Do laundry.

That seems pretty good.

This bubble has weathered the storm of depression and by depending on God is now out of the danger zone. I haven’t popped yet and I am as resilient as ever. As bubbles often do I am flying high to another adventure. I am back in school and I have 2 classes (a relief from the normal 4-5). I am taking Spanish IV and ASL III. Both of these are fairly easy classes although their subjects aren’t as easy to master. Estoy trabajando mucho a mi espaƱol y mi ASL.

My mother has started her own Etsy store and has one item to sell so far but she is working on posting several other items soon. She has become a scrapbooking fanatic and is making beautiful minis and cards and things. I am supposed to be helping but haven’t done much so far. I plan to start soon.

Lethargy, Procrastination, Overall fatigue

Okay so I haven't been doing too great the last week or so. I seem to want to either sleep or do nothing all the time and have no energy or self-motivation to get done with what needs to be done. Thankfully I have done all homework assignments faithfully, but today I really am struggling to function. I will use the 15 minute strategy from flylady.net, and I know it will help, but I'm really concerned about this fatigue I have that doesn't seem to want to go away. I have never been one to sleep an exorbitant amount of hours but lately I can fall asleep anytime, anywhere and sleep for hours. It doesn't help that I have a pinched nerve in my back and I strained a muscle in the back of my thy. Ah well I feel like I am complaining over much. Nonetheless, its true and I needed to put it down somewhere. I needed to be honest with myself and my friends so that I can defeat this thing. I will take strength from God's word today.

Philippians 4:13- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

And I will let this chorus take me through.

I'm an over-comer,
Always the victor
I refuse to be defeated
No matter how high a mountain
I must climb
I'm an over-comer
and the victory will be mine.
