Hey Everyone,
I want to say first and foremost that I have enjoyed this blog think way more than I thought I would. I have learned through all of you, and appreciated all the kind words and encouragement with this term as you all know its been a rough one for me!!! So Much Thanks to you all :)
As for reflection, due to my life right now I would say my fitness has went down a little, but I am working on getting that back to normal, we all have to fall down in order to build back up, and I am in a slum per say with this side. My spiritual is the same as it was due to time, but will be skyrocketing come January, and my psychological well-being that is better. Being home with my family and away from what was keeping me down has really helped me open my eyes to what is next and best for me. Its time to figure my life out, and I cant wait for the journey to unfold. I plan on attending a retreat for meditation, and next year I want to go overseas to a third world country and help them build up a city or some kind of labor intensive work in a foreign place that I can help people and learn something new and be in a culture I have never heard of. I am so excited to start looking into all of this, but I will be finishing my degree first.
I work on my goals regularly, but I need to get a better schedule in my life in order for me to succeed I think. Chaos in my life causes chaos in my goals. None of the stuff we have learned is on the back burner at all, but its all in my head and I have to work out the best way to accomplish what is best for me. After I ponder with it for a little while, and spend Holidays with my family then its time for the nitty gritty effort in really evolving and flourishing my life :) For the first time I am not overwhelmed with what is next, I am living for now.
I wish all of you the best and ill be updating randomly if you are interested. Thanks again for everything :) and good luck!
Hi Jamie,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear this class and blog were beneficial for you. It's easy to understand that most people tend eat a little more around the holidays and have less time to exercise. Either way good luck to you in your future endeavors.
I have to agree that the blog was not as bad as I had feared it would be. I still do not like that there is one more thing on the internet with my name on it but that is the world we are living in and I’ll just have to adjust.
ReplyDelete“Being home with my family and away from what was keeping me down has really helped me open my eyes to what is next and best for me. It’s time to figure my life out, and I can’t wait for the journey to unfold.” What you said here sounds a lot like what sent me back to school. It was both liberating and scary. I truly hope everything works out for you!
I have done a few short-term ‘mission’ trips that involved construction, both here in the U.S. and overseas. Going abroad was an incredible experience but I would suggest that you don’t limit yourself to something out of the country. A couple of the trips I have done around the states put me in cultural situations that were just as unique to those locations/people as anything I experienced out of the country (specifically, I was thinking of the time I spent with a group of Navajo people in New Mexico). I hope you find what you are looking for, whatever you end up doing!
Jamie:
ReplyDeleteI commend you on all you will be doing in the next year or so. Wish I had that courage and/or the funds to make that dream a reality. You will be helping so many with what you have learned. I will pray for your success! Working through all that you needed to in order to get where you are has made you stronger and better able to help others. God gives us what we can handle and what he thinks will make us better people - he apparently has great things in store for you! God bless you, Jamie!
