December 31, 2012- A New Slate

Today I read a post from one of my fabulous schoolmates, Ms. Jessica Simien (jessicasimien.com). She gave some very wise insight to how one must have patience. I thought to myself, "I should have more patience". Then, it occured to me that, considering the hell I have endured this year, there are many thing I need to work on for the sake of my sanity. Watching that smoke clear from the candle made more sense to me than something bigger may have. For example, a less spiritual experience. Driving behind someone who drives 25 mph in a 40 mph zone. I know most people would be on that horn, yelling expletives and all other things (we all are guilty)! However, God wants you to be patience and let him do what he does. 
 I spoke with one of my best friends Wednesday and I told her my feeling on some things. I revealed that I felt that I am about to turn 25 (Jan 6) and I feel like I have nothing to show for it. She told me, "Don't question why God does what he does, everything happens for a reason." My friend, who is married, has a job and a very nice car, said to me: "Don't say I wish I had what So-and-so has because you never know what I went through to get where I am." So I am now attempting to be more positive, even though I live in a relatively negative environment. Never rush your blessings because God doesn't want you to be hasty. He wants you to be humble and appreciate what you have, good, bad, and the ugly. So I must change. What better reason to work on yourself than the New Year (and my upcoming birthday, of course)!
Also, Jessica created a list of 100 things to accomplish. I could not think of 100 things right off but I did get 53 of them thought out. So watch out for that list.
