Leaping :: Month 2 of 2012

UPDATES ::

Spiritually

-My quiet times have started to change... I feel like if I do it immediately after waking up, I am still kind of groggy, so I have been mixing it up! One night went to the Chapel of Memories on campus. MSU students, if you haven't been, go. alone. or with your closest of friends. its such a wonderful place to feel God.

Compliments of Alex Hammond via Instagram

-Only missed church 1 Sunday this month!! February 26, 2012. And I have no excuse even for that one... I was lazy. plain & simple.

Physically

-Okay, I have a confession. My drinking has been out of control. (Not that type of drinking, Mom!!) Buttt, I did reintroduce Diet Coke. Loads of stress and this girl was needing it!!! But hey, I made it over 50 days carbonation free!! .... debating going "Sweet Tea-less" soon, and eventually just water!! But that might make my attitude not so sweet!

....

-My running slacked, really bad, in Feb!!! Kicking it up a notch in March!

-But I did end up at 137.6!!! Thats more than 10 lbs down! 

Educationally

-I've been making some really great test grades (99 on my government test!!) and only missed class twice. Must get a good GPA!!!

-Still haven't read any non school books, but gathering a list for Spring Break/Summer. Surf, Sun, Sand, and a good book!!! Only 1 week!!

Blogally

I have written blogs 14 in 2012, & this is #15!!! Only 85 to go to meet goal.. 8 1/2 per month!

Organizationally

-Loving my Coach :) although I don't carry it constantly! During the day, I usually just have my backpack!

-still using my Coach planner, but experienced extreme planner lust as I flipped through Lauren's Erin Condren.... :/

Already 2 months down in this brand new year. I can hardly believe it!! How can it be MARCH?!!




Hoping February showers can bring March flowers,

My Metaphors.

Okay ya'll, I have become so fond of driving... something about being alone, 

just me & good music 

creates the absolute perfect environment to think.

I almost passed Starkville today, just because I wanted to stay in the car!

This is McKenzie. We've been thinking together since November 2010!

 Here's what I came up with today... 

Now don't judge me (you don't even have to agree!)... 

But, I've found myself lately being a 

VCR. 

(or wanting to be)

You know, the 90s contraption that has seemed to vanish from existence? 

The one where you insert a tape & press play, stop, rewind, fast forward, even pause. 

All we see now are these new-fangled 

(is that even a word?) 

DVD players and Bluray where you insert a disc and pretty much get one choice. 

No need to rewind, it starts at the beginning every time. 

And will play until the end unless a remote intercedes. 

I am the DVD player, 

my life the DVD (already decided ahead of time), 

my God is the remote. 

He planned a life for me since before I was even a thought in the minds of these crazy two... 

(So young and in love- I don't think they knew what they were getting into)

Thanks for everything, Mom & Dad

And He has complete control over me.

Lately in my life, I haven't been content with the here & now. 

I want to fast forward to a career, a classroom, owning a house. 

Or I want to rewind to those 

stress free, 

joyous, 

jump roping days. 

Pause, well, not my button of choice. Because I rarely live in the present.

I am learning to be content with simply the DVD player, my life as a DVD, and the Lord of Lords holding the remote. He will make every move necessary, for He is good.

Oh God, show us all when to pause and be still, when to push forward for Your causes, when to stop and when to play on. Make us relinquish this control we feel we have as humans. We are nothing without You. 

Oh so thankful to be Washed By the Water. 
God is merciful, and just.


Living and learning,
