Today is going to be a good day.
I work from 12-4. Then, hopefully, I will be able to hang out with friends and simply chill.
At one point I really believed that saying "the ends justify the means." But now I don't think it's true. If you kill yourself to get to the end, you're already dead by the end, so you don't get to enjoy it, right? Life needs balance. It's way too fragile to put all the stress on one end of the beam with the result lifted high on the other end, because at some point the pressure on the midpoint is going to snap, the the result will come falling down as a result of the weight of the stress. I don't know if that makes sense to you, but to me, it does. I have to imagine this see-saw in my head though, haha.
Another thing I need to work on is a quiet time. Quiet times are like oxygen in this big fishie tank of life. :)
Finally, God has opened my eyes to see that goals are important, and with that comes good planning. I'm working myself for nothing if I am not trying to accomplish something. So here is list of some short and long term goals that I am really going to set my sights on, and who knows? Perhaps God has placed these desires in my heart and will find favor with me and make them into reality.
Short term goals:
1. Develop a solid quiet time.
2. Pass APUSH. I have a 66% right now, but I'm working it.
3. Learn the proper way to study and take notes.
4. Start stretching and running since the doc let me off all restrictions.
5. Get involved in a church ministry again.
Mid-term goals:
1. Decide where I'm going to college (either Liberty, Elon, or a state school in NC, WI, or MN).
2. Study and get a good score on the March SAT, and take it over and over again.
3. Get a lot of scholarships.
4. Save up money for college, a car, a trip home this summer, camp, insurance, and AP tests.
5. Be in an ultra-personal, life-changing relationship with God.
Long-term goals:
1. Get into a good college and focus in on a major pleasing to God's will.
2. Become a physical therapist/teacher/psychologist/astronomer/missionary/motivational speaker.
3. Travel the world.
4. Get married and have kids.
5. Be able to say that my life counted for something....
...by making it count right now.
