As another way to procrastinate on my ever increasing amounts of homework, I have decided to create my own blog in which I will share thoughts (or lack thereof) for the world to see. For some strange reason, this has been a goal of mine to create my own blog for some time. Now here it is...and (gulp)I have no idea where to begin.
I have been thinking just now as how close I am to accomplishing my many goals I have in life. I just received my driver's licence (yay me!) and I am just a few months from saving up enough $$ for my own car. :) After chipping away at my homework, I wondered how much longer I will havta be in school...so I dusted off my degree checksheet from the folder and was pleased to discover I had only 26 credits complete after this semester. The wheels started spinning...eh, if I do 13 credits in the summer and again in the fall, I'll be a graduate by December! Again, so close. Never mind the fact that I have no idea what to do after I finish; I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
And while my life is going smoothly like a well-oiled machine--I am concerned that I just might forget what is truly important. In one of my classes called "Balancing Work and Family" my classmates and I are constantly challenged by the professor on how we will leave a legacy. What DOES that look like exactly? How do you go about doing it? What am I really chasing after? These and other questions haunt me for some time. Probably because I tend to think my future begins later--after I finish school or get married, etc. when it really begins NOW.
My closest friends know I always have a song running in my head and I would like to habitually close my posts with a song lyric that is relevant and has been impressed on my mind and heart.
Lord I Need You--author unknown
Sometimes when life seems gentle,
And blessings flood my way.
I turn my gaze away from you,
And soon forget to pray.
But when the sky grows darker,
And courage turns to fear...
My anxious voice cries upward,
With words you long to hear--
Lord I need you!
When the sea of life is calm,
Oh, Lord I need you.
When the wind is blowing strong,
Whether trials come or cease..
Keep me always on my knees,
Lord I need you...Lord I need you.
