goals
Yesterday I started taking an Alpha course with a friend. It was so wild, the super cool couple that are running it, the guy is a spokes person for the organization i work for, (which i didn't know before hand) and did the SoM that i did in Toronto 4 years prior to me! So, of course we know many of the same people.... . connections,connections! God is so cool. i'm excited about the Alpha course.
i start my placement on wednesday. it is with an agency in town that serves people with disabilities. i'm doing the placement at their day program. i think it will be really neat.
Since starting to do Mary Kay, it's been a lot about setting goals and working towards them. i often get overwhelmed with all my goals and trying to actually work on them without getting discouraged and frustrated. it's coming! ONe thing they suggest is to make a list everday of the 6 most important things to do. honestly, i haven't done this everyday, but i've been working on the principal of it it trying to accomplish the things i want to get done. one more thing i've gotten back into is playing the piano. there's this really sweet 17 year old down the street who i've started to take lessons from, (every other week) and she's really helping me with counting, ryhthm, scales etc. i've only had one lesson so far, but hopefully this will be something i can commit to and actually follow through and be accountable with.
accountability is a beautiful thing. sometimes i don't want to be accountable, but when i share those things that hold me in fear with people who love me, i feel safer and it's a release. sometimes it takes a lot of courage, then it's like, what was the big deal about being afraid of that. On track, what does that mean for you? i need to be in accountabilityship (new word) to stay on track.
i've been watching these really cool teaching dvd's called Soul Restoration Series with this amazing Japanese woman. i encourage you to check out her website:
www.dr-aiko.com
Lots of truth and healing there.
There's this Rebecca St. James song that i just love. most of her songs i just love so much, but this one imparticular i'll share with you today:
"I Thank You"- RSJ 2003(Megwich!)
There was a time when I felt alone and afraid
But You came close to me and I'm forever changed
'Cause something stirred inside me, so much more than I can say
I thank You for believing in me
You've given me Your all, now I'll never be alone
I thank You, You never stopped loving me
You've held onto my soul
And I'm never letting go, never letting go
Your love is so amazing
Beyone compare
And now I can't imagine life with You there
For You have healed my spirit
I'm resting in Your loving care
I thank You.......
Something stirred inside me
Something i just can't deny
Fore You have healed my spirit
Your mercy has restored my life.
I thank You.....
