An answer to my prayers...

On this journey of self-improvement, growing closer to God is a part of that. Received a call for help today to assist with Vacation Bible School, where young kids get to come and interact with people from the Church and with God in a comfortable setting. I volunteered my services, and already a sense of love and accomplishment is coming over me. I feel blessed beyond belief and I know that God is working in mysterious ways to help me improve my journey. Today, for me, is a day I can say thank you, God, for allowing me this opportunity and for bestowing Your blessings on me. I am truly grateful and thankful for your presence.

So... it's been almost a month...

So I guess, according to all my friends and family, that I made the right decision in ending my year and a half long relationship and that I'd be better off because of it. I guess you can say that, minus the part where it sucks sometimes. They didn't talk about any of that. So I've tried everything I know to keep myself busy and my mind off of things, including reconnecting with all of my friends and taking a week-long vacation to reunite with my family (as well as work on classroom projects). I can honestly say that I am ready for school to start, because sitting idly by doesn't really work for me. However, I graduate in December with my Masters. Then what? What should I start up next? I can't think of what to do again. I like having down time, but I've always been on the run, not even stopping to take time for me. Everyone says I need to take time for me, but I've never done that, even for just a minute, so I'm not really sure what to do. Any recommendations? I'm open for ideas.

A poem:

Taking time for me
Is not something I'm used to doing.
How do you just "slow down?"
Is that even possible?
Everyone around me is here for support and encouragement.
Including ones who I've never met.
Maybe it is time to take time for me.
At least after listening to others.

Please comment, like, and share! Much love to all of you.
