that i need to work on some things that are really getting in my way. they have mostly to do with self shaming, guilt, being too critical and ocd tendencies.
i also need to work on structuring my days so that i can be more productive, self motivation and self discipline.
oh and just love.
loving and trusting myself and loving and trusting God
that i am okay and that everything is going to be okay.
that i need to spend less time on cc.
also possibly posting the serenity prayer up in my room :
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things i cannot change;
courage to change the things i can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
i like this one too :
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
and this :
[SIZE=+1]Trust in the LORD[/SIZE] with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

That even though boiling vinegar is a good way to clean the scale build up from the bottom of the hot water pot, inhaling vinegar steam is mildly painful and will send you into a coughing fit.
That even when I have plan B all ready to go, I still don't like the uncertainty of knowing if I will need it or not.
Oh and also if you are going to drive against the traffic at night, you really need to use the headlight on your bike no matter how annoying it is.

just as long as kim doesn't bring any emeraude, i'm all for it. ;p
i'll bring the leftover chocolate souffle.
well, in meetings i always say, give the action items to the person who's not there. works for me. : )
and y'all might regret making me the "CC get-together coordinator".
we may be doing a lot of hiking. : D
and i'll finally get my chance to beat grace-like-rain in a spirited game of tennis. *bwhahaahahaaha*

I learned...
That stepping on a piece of glass really stinking hurts. It's amazing how something so tiny can hinder one's walk so much. That can definitely go for spiritual walks as well, I am learning. Something that I deem small and therefore doesn't need to be worried about can actually affect everything else.
That even though it took a while and I procrastinated on the little stuff, being totally unpacked/organized is so freeing.
That I am more loved than I know.
That I have distrust issues that are like that piece of glass, cutting into my thoughts and my heart and my walk with Christ. And it's painful to get it out so I don't, but in reality that's a terrible path of logic because then it creates more problems.
That I really do adore candles. I've been lighting one in almost every room of the house, not even all the same scent. I love their fragrances and the soft, flickering light they give.
All in one week. Phew.

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I’ve learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you’re finished.
I’ve learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
I’ve learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place!
I’ve learned that 99% of the time when something isn’t working in your house, one of your kids did it.
I’ve learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.
