Hello 2016

Hey guys. Long time no blog. I know, you don’t want to hear my excuses but my first semester of college was an adjustment. And it seems like every time I went to blog something would come up! But I’m on winter break now, I’m going to try to start posting at least once a week and hopefully that’ll be my first step. Imagine if I could upload multiple times a week. *GASP*

Right now, my mind is completely focused on 2016 and everything that I want to accomplish. I think that if I write them out, I’ll have more of a desire to get them done, because now they’re out in the universe.

  My Goals for 2016-

1.     Read my Bible everyday – My faith is very important to me, but lately it’s been taking a backseat to everything else in my life. I want to try to read the Bible through this year, and also have a more personal relationship with God.

2.     Workout 6 days a week – I want to try-out for my schools Track & Field team and right now, I am in horrible shape. Also, I want to feel better about myself and help boost my self-confidence.

3.     Daily Journal – I have kept a personal journal on and off for almost 5 years, but this year I want to make journaling a daily thing. It doesn’t even have to be super long. Just a little synopsis of how I’m feeling, so when the year is over I can look back and reminisce.

4.     Be Positive – I am very environmentally impacted. Meaning if someone around me is sad or happy I tend to lean more towards their feeling. This year I want to be in charge. I want to look for the good in life.

5.     Blog – I have a lot of goals for this blog. Mostly I want to put more effort and really begin making it a priority. I also want to branch out in the blogging community and be a part of a network/ group that helps and uplifts each other.

6.     Me First – I have a tendency to put others view of me as who I actually am. I’m learning that living that way isn’t helping me at all. I am going to start thinking about how I feel and what I want before I allow others opinion to sway me.

7.     Read More – Between school, work, and blogging I really don’t have as much free time as I would like, but reading has always been something that I enjoy. I am challenging myself to read 30 books this year.

8.     Socialize - For my first semester in college, I didn’t really branch out at all. I didn’t talk to many people and I want that to change. I don’t want to look back on my college experience and only have gone to classes. I want to make lasting friendships and live a life that I would be proud to tell others one day.

*DISCLAIMER- I am by no means trying to push any of my goals onto anyone, I just wanted to share them to help keep myself accountable and hopefully inspire someone else to create their own personal goals.

~And that's the way the cookie crumbles!~

Your Time Will Come...

     I attended a wedding recently and it was so beautiful. It was in a backyard of a restaurant and it was lit with café lights and Christmas lights and it was at night time. It was just so magical, and it got me thinking about my wedding. Things that I would do similarly and some things that I would change. I, like most girls, have a Pinterest board dedicated to that special day. What wedding ring I want, what style I want my dress to be, how I want the reception set up, what I want my invitations to look like. The whole nine yards. While I was standing beside the beautiful bride and witnessed magic happen, I realized that I was missing one very important part in my happily ever after. MY PERSON! How can one get married without having someone to say "I Do" to.
      While feelings of sadness began creeping in, I had to give myself a little pep talk. I had to reassure myself that I would have my magical day when the time is right. I would meet my person at the appointed time. When God sees that we are both ready to fully commit to a relationship, He will cause both of our paths to cross. And it will be great. It'll be my greatest love.
     That's what I wanted to remind you of today, don't stress over being single. I know it sucks being the only single person in your group of friends but your day will come. And you will meet your person. The one who turns your world upside down. The one who drives you crazy. The one who makes you count the days until you meet again. The one who makes you forget all of the bad things that's ever happened. The one who you want to wake up next to the rest of your life. The one who you want next to you when tragedy strikes. The one who will remind you how much they love you when your old and gray. Your time will come.
