Should take my own advice

I am being pulled along like a fish on a string. When will I stop?

Travel

I really want to go to Australia

Firsts

1.) Today I ran 5 kilometers in 29:21!!! I've never done that before, and I'm pretty satisfied. I can honestly say I gave it my all.

2.) By the end of this week I will have run a total of 26 miles. Another first.

My goal in life is to give back.

True that

‎"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." ~ Albert Einstein

Cojones

Some people just need to grow a pair.

All of the things we want each other to be, we never will be

New endeavor

It's official. I have decided to switch my major to nursing. This coming year I will attend community college to get the prereqs out of the way and then off to Belmont University's School of Nursing! I can hardly contain my excitement. Now if I can only keep this excitement and motivation throughout these next 3 years. In 3 years (if all goes according to plan) I will have a BS in nursing. God is good.

Class schedule of death! :)

Words to live by

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."


Theodore Roosevelt

I feel so free.

It's pretty nice to be able to look back and say, "wow, I made it."

Human resilience amazes me.

For those doubts that swirl all around us,

For those lives that tear at the seams,

We know,

We’re not what we’ve seen,

For this dance we’ll move with each other.

There ain’t no other step than one foot,

Right in front of the other.

There’s so many wars we fought,

There’s so many things we’re not,

But with what we have,

I promise you that,

We’re marching on,

For all of the plans we’ve made,

There isn’t a flag I’d wave,

Don’t care if we bend,

I’d sink us to swim,

We’re marching on,

Right, right, right, right left right,

Right, right, right, right left right,

Right, right,

We’re marching on.

We’ll have the days we break,

And we’ll have the scars to prove it,

We’ll have the bonds that we save,

But we’ll have the heart not to lose it.

For all of the times we’ve stopped,

For all of the things I’m not.

We put one foot in front of the other,

We move like we ain’t got no other,

We go when we go,

We’re marching on.

There’s so many wars we fought,

There’s so many things we’re not,

But with what we have,

I promise you that,

We’re marching on 

Right, right, right, right left right

We’re marching on.

Regret

I don't regret many things but if I could turn back time, I would. What now? How can I move past this? And is there anyone at all that really truly cares?

"Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things."

Ecclesiastes 11:4-5

Fighting words

Tell me something Adventist Education, what could possibly be so good about your institutions that we have to pay 25K a year for it? A "good Christian environment" and a few Bible classes thrown in that's what. I just don't know what to do, my mother breaks her back to put all 3 of her kids through Adventist education. Financial aid never seems to be enough, sure we get jobs etc. but it's still not enough! I don't know if it's worth it...i just don't know what to do. I'm confused and overwhelmed. It's too much. And this isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

Training for 13.1 miles

"Me and running don't always see eye to eye. Some days it hurts more than others. But it doesn't mean i don't do it. I deal with it and keep running, because NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU ALWAYS FEELS GOOD FOR YOU"
