Happy Easter!!

Yea! Jesus!!! I hope everyone has had a great Easter and just, thank you God! Unfortunately, I was unable to go home because I had work today but it was still a good day none the less. I also saw a good friend who spend a fantastic trip in France and Germany and a bunch of other places in Europe. We went this fantastic little restaurants in the area called Magdalena's Creepier (http://www.magdalenascreperie.com/). I loved it and got an awesome crepe with Brie and Prosciutto… right up my alley. We talked about my wonderful little project and she loved it! She might start going to the gym with me which is supper exciting because she is actually in the Army training to be a helicopter pilot so she is pretty tough nails and would be a good workout partner.

In other exciting news, this Tuesday is the Chorus Line Audition! I am super nervous and I wish I was more prepared but I think it will all be alright but… my first thing on my What do list is not going so well and I think I need to be focusing on that more. So if I don’t get into Chorus Line… I’ll cry for a little bit and then find another audition for play soon. But I really want to be in a musical. Like super bad like I might let preparing for this consume my life for the next day or so. Like I should have been doing like 2 weeks ago. But my failing to get this all together is only information it’s alright.

In other super exciting news, well… I was asking to preach about something for my campus ministry in the public speaking area of our school! And while I’m ready the crap my pants, I’m excited and hopeful that something I will say will make a difference. Just hoping no one thinks I’m crazy for doing this. So just be praying for me to say the right words and deliver them with love for the people at my school and pray for me to find the time to do this well with serious consideration and prayerful thought and contemplation. Also, pray that I won’t crap on myself while doing that’s a really good idea too.

Final thing this week, I was able to reach my distance goal for my workout which made me really proud and grateful. I have found since I have been waking up earlier, it has been easier to wake a decent time. That makes me really happy because last quarter I had a super hard time trying to get up at a decent time so all is working out. But this coming week I have to get 4 to 5 miles and holy moly, that one is going to suck but all will be good. I think a little thought lately when I feel overwhelmed that with a faith in God and how He is for me, I can walk on water. And so much is happening this week that I feel like I need to rely on God right now to get through the craziness of this week.

Revelations and Realizations

You know when there comes a point in your life when you’re just on a roll. You come to more and more realizations and one leads to  another and another. Well that was definitely this week for me. I realized that, well this maybe sounds like a really obvious thing, but I need to be someone who absolutely crazy about me. If he isn’t, then I shouldn’t waste my time and energy on someone who doesn’t think I am great.  Time is so precious and I waste it so much on things that will never do anything to me. Energy is best spent when the more you put in, the more you receive. The things I, and I think a lot of us, put  energy in never return the energy we put in. And I do this with guys and I’m done with doing that. I deserve to be with someone who really cares about me; who is crazy about me!!! And yes, this should be obvious but sometimes the simplest things and most obvious things are the hardest accept.

I think this is because we in our culture love to us our heads and intellectualize our lives and emotions. When something is simple and obvious, we think that it can’t be true because while it does require us using our hearts it doesn’t require us to use our heads as much as we think is needed to right. Sometimes our hearts know more than our heads.

Something I realized as I have been reading the Word is that, well I suck at praying, particularly this quarter of college. I have found a lot of the time when I pray, I am just trying to prove how biblical I am. I remember this week when I was thinking about that, I just heard this little thought in my head: “I know how biblical you are.” I was struck by how clear in my head it was and how authoritative it was. I’m not saying I heard God’s voice. But I know that thought came from Him. So this week I have been trying to pray with more of an open and honest heart and really talking to the Lord like He wants to hear my real thoughts and troubles of the days and really praising Him for the small things in the day. Then it really helped to come to campus ministry on Friday to have them talk about how to have a better pray life. Just God confirming that I need to focus more of my energy into my pray life. 

One thing I have realized in particular is that I need to pray to God more about this blog/project. I think this list partly became a way of saying to myself that I am not enough for a guy right now. But that is not what I want. I want to find God’s will for me in this time of singleness. I want to use it to move closer to him. If this is what I desire, I need to believe that God gave me this time with a purpose. That He has something amazing planned for me in this time. So obviously, a bit of change in my project, but only in attitude.

So for my workout… Ha ha.Well… So for my plan for my mile, I am on week 3 and for week I have to run 3 to 4 miles. However, a lot of things happened this week where I couldn’t get to the gym in time or I didn’t a good enough breakfast so I didn’t have enough energy. So I was never able to get over 3 miles. So I will be repeating week 3.

Because it’s been hard for me to get to the gym on time, the strength has been suffering as well. I have been going to the gym around 7:30am, normally but the last few days because of the crap happening in the morning it’s been closer to 8am. However I think that will have to change to getting there at 7am anyway. I’ll see if I can make it work for 7:30 for this week but some where along the lines, I’ll have to move it to earlier because I mean week 6 is 6 to 7 miles. I am hoping by that my normal mile time will reduce significantly by then but if I could get that done in any hour, that would be perfect. That being said, I would have to get there by 7am. 

That’s I think all we have this week.

Love and Prayers,

“OH MY G0D, OH MY G0D YOU GUYS!!!”

Question: what musical does the title come from? Keep your answer to yourself right now. Don’t say it out loud.

So for our school, we have one musical in the fall always directed by the musical theatre teacher. People have been waiting for the announcement of the musical with a lot of excitement. Well…

What was your answer to my beginning question??

Yes! It is correct! The musical for next fall is Legally Blonde!!! I can’t wait! I haven’t been able to get the songs out of my head and it’s seriously all I have thought about the last 4 days. So well I will be in that musical if it’s the last thing I do in life.

Anyway, there is another audition at the end of the month for Chorus Line. I went to my acting teacher and asked him what monologue he thinks I should do with a choose between two. And my song is coming along. I don’t know what’s going to happen with this musical. I definitely should have started earlier on my monologue. My song is doing all right. The audition is the 22nd of this month so I still have time but this time is valuable and precise so I am trying to work diligently on the monologue and song. I am hoping if I do well on this musical then my acting teacher will see it and will hopeful think more seriously about giving me a bigger part in Legally Blonde. 

So something I have been expressing with my friends is how annoyed I get when people brag about their singing skills or dancing skills at this age in life. Because truthfully, if you are amazing dancer and have been in dance since you were 5-guess what? You have rich, probably white, parents. If there is anything I know it is that white rich parents put their kids in ballet. But truly, just don’t brag at this age for much because you compare the children of supportive parents and non-supportive parents and you will find the children with the supportive parents get more done in life at an earlier age. If you got an opinion on this, please comment.

So for one of my classes we will be working on the alignment of the body and better core strength so I’m super excited. But I realized that I need to start working more on my plank, not forgetting that is one of my targets, a 5 minute plank. I did 1:30 the other day and that made me happy.

Well anyway, this is my mile chart. My mile on Saturday was slightly slower than last week but it also didn’t make me want to die which I think is an accomplishment.
