NUGI day is my favorite. :)
Singers and good friends and ridiculous fun.
I love them all way more than I can stand.
Tonight at dinner I was talking with my roommate and others about how I am going to try to be a better person this semester. There is always room for improvement, I think.
I decided to make a list:
- I will do my best to always put others first. Not just sometimes, or when it is convenient, but always.
- I will be healthier. More milk, and apple juice and fruits and veggies, less Dr. Pepper and junk food. I also want to run/workout more, although I feel like I say this every semester and it never happens...
- I will be more careful with my words and actions. Less complaining and more encouraging. Also, I will try to gossip less. I will make a constant effort to glorify the Lord in my conversations and behavior.
- I will try to be less loud and obnoxious. I realize I can be really ridiculous sometimes, and I apologize. Sometimes I forget that life is not summer camp.
- I will pray more and spend more time with the Lord. I will do a better job of trusting in His plans for me, rather than the plans I make for myself. I will trust Him fully with my future, my relationships, and my worries. I will praise Him even when things don't work out the way I want them to.
- I will try to love people regardless of everything. I will try to not judge and to not be bitter about things. I will make a conscious effort to see people as their Creator does and to show them His love. Also, I think I get frustrated with people a lot. I will try to work on patience. :)
- I will slow down. I will sleep when I need to and I will be better at time management. I will do my best to not procrastinate on my classes and make better grades this semester.
- I will cherish this semester and the time that I have left with precious people and Seniors that are graduating. I will not take anything for granted.
Those are some that I feel like I need to improve in. Notice I say, "try." Because I will try, but I will mess up sometimes, probably a lot, because I am human and that's how I work. But I will keep trying, and keep seeking, and keep praising.
God is good. And life is good. The end.
My campers make me happy. This is Taylor LeeAnn:
