AAAAHHHHH!


So much is going on and NO I am not going to work for the Colts! However if I did I bet there would be a lot more people who added me to their blog links! lol I am in school and involved with church and have started working a LOT more and on and on and on. But this is life, everyone lives this way... don't they!??? Any who my English teacher "Dave" told us at the beginning of this semester that "School is not a competitive sport" Ya know what I say? HA! He must have not been very good at school, maybe SKOOL MADE HIM SOOOPER SMART? Who knows. He is a cool teacher but seriously, it is a competitive sport. He handed back our first "real" paper, after we had an hour lesson on grammar and punctuation. YES I am in college, but apparently we are not writing at the college level. Dave handed them to us on our way out the door at 9 p.m. and I could not wait to tear it apart to find out my grade and..... there was NO grade! "This can not be for you see this is 5 pages of gloryisnessssss" I desperately ruffled through each page in search of my GIANT red A! Until at last I came across that beautiful A on the very back page in black (who grades in black? hello the standard is red), now mind you I did have to cringe through 5 pages of "corrected mistakes" to get to it but in the end all that mattered was my A. Now I am sure that some of you may be thinking that I am a lunatic and you are right. I have a deep bond with accountability and if I am not competitive with myself and always strive to go beyond what I think is my very best and achieve what I thought impossible then I have let myself down. I have to hold my self accountable in everything I do and if I don't, I rely on my accountability partner to point out what I need to fix. I believe that God wired me to be an overachiever! Yes I believe this because somebody has to do it. I think he is going to use my quirks like this to do something great, I don't know what but he will. After all he has a plan for everything! So long story short YES SCHOOL IS A COMPETITIVE SPORT, I may not be competing with others but I am competing with myself. God did not create us to be lazy, he created us to do great things. Granted he did give some people a little more get up and go than others in some areas. By the way he forgot to give me some get up and go in the exercise department. :0p

To do or not to do...... THAT is the question!!!!


How many of you have tried to find deep guidance from the all mighty magic 8 ball?? During my childhood I relied on the wisdom of the magic 8 ball a lot, well at least until I kept getting "Ask again later" What was that all about anyway???? I had dinner with a friend tonight who works at "another" institution and for some time she has been trying to get me to convert to the blue side and I always think about it however I never take any action, until tonight! I am actually thinking about taking a "CLOSER" look into what team blue can offer me. It just seems too good to be true. I like being a big fish in my current pond and the thought of being just a wee fish in a great big pond makes me weezy. However Change is Good For You :0) For the first time I am going to place this particular issue in God's hands. He will give me the guidance I seek, unlike the magic 8 ball. How often do we seek guidance and comfort from the wrong thing, instead of seeking it from God? It is clear where we should get it from but why do we make it so hard to do sometimes?
