My life is turning around. I've taken initiative to give myself some purpose. I've been volunteering with the childrens at church - a wonderful experience, if you like kids. I am going to start singing again soon in Alabaster. I have been kind of just a "replacement" since there are 2 women in the band, however, I no longer want to care. I want to give my voice to God and no longer worry about sounding "perfect" - I just want to use my talents to His glory.
Aside from volunteering, I joined
http://www.43things.com. It has given me a place to set goals and actually work toward achieving them. I never was much of a goal setter, but after being turned on to this site I have realized how much giving yourself a purpose really does contribute to your overall happiness level. I'm also eating better and getting back into the bible.
So while I still don't know what I'm doing next semester or, let alone, next year, I am having a better summer. I'm also learning to love myself - I never thought this was possible.
My dad gave me the book, "The Power of Positive Thinking" when I graduated high school. I thought it was cliche and irrelevant, but I'm learning that sometimes an "I can change myself" mindset is worth it.
