My Next Step

Now that I am moving forward I have been spending lots of time trying to figure out what that means


1) School – Next semester I am hitting the books and studying human services. It is time to get a degree and education so I can do what I love.

2) Family – I want to spend Christmas with my mom’s side of the family. Maybe it would boost my holiday spirits but I just long for change and closeness within my cousins, aunts, and uncles. I also am going to send my biological family Christmas cards. Not that they will say anything significant but just putting out the fact that I think of them.

3) Job – Time to start looking! I need a positive outlet in my life and it is time to find the ambition to find a way to improve my financial life. I also need to find a new community of people, even if it is in the professional world, because I am getting to wrapped up in me and I need to remember there are other people out there.

4) Church – I need to find a ministry that I love again, not that I have fallen out of love with youth, but I have not had my heart in it lately. I need to find my heartbeat and smile again. I also need to open His Word up again. I have forgotten the love I use to have for being a part of the church and it is probably because I have forgotten the love I had for Him. Time to refocus and remember.

5) Extracurriculars – I need to stop drinking, watching TV, and Farmville; or at least limit these activities drastically. I have been my only focus and that needs to change immediately. I need to find a new ministry that I want to get up and go to in the morning or that I will want to set time out of my day to participate in. I want to find my love for people again and forget myself for awhile.


Time for a change and I am excited. Here is to hoping my next step was better than the last.
