Juggling My Personal Life, Work, and School - Part 2

On February 25, 2011, I was able to sleep in until 9:00 AM because my Friday morning class was cancelled. I was very happy to have this rare opportunity to sleep in. I was able to deposit a few hours sleep in my sleep deprived sleep bank. I am very aware that adequate sleep is important to have a balance; however, it is very hard to get adequate sleep with my schedule. Nevertheless, I will try my best to deposit more sleep into my sleep bank.

I was able to get about two hours of study time this morning. I wish I was able to put more time in but I wanted some "me time." I got my hair washed and braided, meditated, and dance to a Mary Mary CD. I truly enjoyed my "me time."  It is very important to take care of myself so that I am able to help care for others.

My commute to work was pleasant. I was able to be present throughout the trip. I totally enjoyed the beautiful landscapes that are always present on my trip to work. It was another sunny day but this time there were white clouds in the sky.

It was a very busy shift at work. My team staff member and I worked hard as usual to help meet the needs of the clients. At the end of my shift I was really tired but satisfied that we had worked to the best of our abilities to accomplish our tasks.

Well, I am home now and after a very busy night I should be sleeping, so until next time I wish you well and Hope you have a peaceful and productive day.

Juggling My Personal Life, Work, and School - Part 1

OK, I took some time away form my stack of books and my online assignments to write about my day. This morning I woke up to a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear and blue, and it was about 22 degrees outside. My commute to school was very good. The traffic was flowing this morning and I could drive at the speed limit for most of my trip. I was in class five minutes before the professor began to lecture. The class went well and as usual I came away from class feeling like my time was well spent. I am blessed to have professors who are talented teachers and have the gift of clearly imparting knowledge.

After class, I was happy to be outside and I felt very blessed to be walking to my car under a clear blue sky. After driving home on so many snowy days in recent weeks, I felt very happy to be driving home on roads that are dry and free from snow. I could still see the snow on the sides of the road; however, the people who cleaned the snow did a very good job because the freeway was completely free of snow.

At home I ate, watched about 15 minutes of television, and did some online assignments. Then, I went to my doctor's appointment. At the doctor's office I was able to read one of my textbooks while I waited for the doctor. On my way from the doctor I connected with my son by telephone.

Back at home, I called my mother and my sister and talked with them for awhile. It was good to connect with my sister and mother. I always love to talk to them.

Well, it is now time to do my meditation and then to go back to studying. I will see you all tomorrow.

                                    A world of knowledge is waiting for me!!!

It's not over Until it is Over

Hi Everyone,

I missed blogging on a regular basis; however, my schedule has been completely filled. I have also had some recent ups and downs in the journey called life; nevertheless, my spirit is high and my attitude is in the right place.

I believe that events happen in our lives to help make us stronger. I agree with Andre Crouch who said, "... if I didn't have a problem, I wouldn't know that God could solve them, I wouldn't know what faith in God could do ...."

I also believe that I should do all that is in my power to work out my situations and the things that I cannot do my heavenly Father will do for me. He may choose to work out my circumstances immediately or he may choose to walk me through the fire or flood.

I also know that it's not over until it is over; therefore, I will not give up on my goals in life. I will always, by the help of God, do my very best in all the things that I find to do.

I pray that you will be strong as you work out your circumstances. I pray that you will receive the answer that is best for your situation. I pray that you will be blessed and that you will be whole in every area of your body. May you receive the desires of your heart. Amen

Be Blessed,

Joy

May you always walk in your blessings!!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
