Accomplishments

Today I feel accomplished.

I woke up early to come to the library, printed two papers, finished five pages of notes, and even have time to blog! 

This weekend was filled with fast flying days and some good memories!

Saturday I had a track meet. Both of my relays took second place and I took 3rd place with a 12.89 in the 100 meter dash. Considering that was my second time running an open 100 this season, I am excited to see where my time will end. Nationals is 12.20 so lets see if I can go to outdoor nationals.

Sunday at Freedom Church we had 29 adults and children. We are outgrowing a one car garage and we are now looking for a facility to rent. Freedom Church is growing, and I am so blessed to be a part of its foundation.

This last week my head coach announced that he is not returning next year. What does that mean? That means that there is a potential for an entire new team of not only athletes, but coaches. Talk about a change. For my senior year I will be looking into graduate school, working toward my psychology degree, and ending my track career with an entirely different coach. This will be a new experience for me, but we grow from experiences. Right now I will focus on today, and only think about tomorrow (I have a problem of worrying about tomorrow).

What challenges me on a daily bases is the future. Yesterday, I found myself in one of the best stores. It is called World Market, and it's amazing! Alija and I had a fun time exploring all of its authentic treasures. I was looking at table cloths, beds, pictures, plates, matching dish mats, cups, tea mugs, anything and everything I wanted for my future home. I was matching colors, imagining where a deck would go in my back yard, placing summer dish mats on the covered patio, and this went on and on in my mind. Then I realized and had a small fear of when that will come. What if it doesn't come when I need it to? What if my plan doesn't work out the way I want it to? That's the funny thing about life that I am learning (I have always known plans don't always work, but now as I get older it's becoming more apparent), life will just happen. Whether we like how it happens or not, tomorrow will come. I guess where I am getting at is this...try to not worry about the small things. Have fun with matching dish mats and patio chairs, because one day it will most likely happen. Most of the things we worry about don't happen, so why not think about what we want to happen? When we focus on fear, it can undertake our thoughts and over take our emotions.

Focus on all of the good, thank God for all the days that come, and know that when God changes your plans (my plans) that he is protecting us from something that is less than the best. 

4 more Mondays left of school...and that even includes the Monday of finals week!

Forgive any errors as usual. After two papers and five pages of notes, my brain does not want to think, its just wants to do!
