Temple 619: Week 2

Not much has happened this past week. 

I went to the Doctor, that went well. I was on some various medications for various conditions and he has taken me off of everything for a month trial. I'll get blood work done before I go in again next month just to check how things are going, providing I stick to my 90day challenge I should be in the clear to stay off of my meds, which I would be VERY excited about! I hate taking medication, but I will if I have to. 

I bought a pedometer and I'm keeping track of my steps and miles. My doctor suggested aiming for 10,000 steps a  day. Yesterday I reached 10,400 at work alone (which is almost 5 miles worth of walking). Right now, the way my feet are yelling at me, I completely believe it was that much. 

School is getting stressful and I'm trying not to let it effect my inner peace. The Lord has promised good to me, through stress, through troubles, though adversity he has given me access to his abundant peace. Hopefully in the midst of all this crazy, CRAZY final school assignments I am able to remember that I have complete access to His supernatural peace. 

I'm trying so hard not to get sick. I'm pumping myself full of vitamins and i'm about to go to the store solely for orange juice. haha Working where I do and having almost the whole shelter sick, I KNOW I have been more than exposed to it. Besides who thinks "you are transporting illness to me right now!" when you're hugging a little kid who just doesn't understand what's going on around her? I don't. So, I know I've been exposed to colds, flu's, etc. I'm praying that my stubbornness alone will keep me well, at least until after school. I came home from work last night, not feeling the best. I'm thinking it's just because I was stressed and tired. 

The Lord has been revealing allot to me lately. Not in revelation style words. But, just placing thoughts in my mind that I know are him pushing me on to be all I'm meant to be. I've applied to Carnegie Mellon, Cincinnati University Conservatory, NYU - Nisch and I'm looking at more schools that would be far off dreams of majoring in musical theater. I'm waiting for my verification to register for an audition date for each school. 

Who knows what (IF anything) will come of these applications and possible auditions. I figured, what will it hurt?! I'm also going through the organizational stage of getting an audition ready for the Broadway Conservatory summer program. I'm about ready to ask some people around if they could help me prepare. For some reason, right now, I am more that willing to throw myself through the ringer to get somewhere with my dream. Blood, sweat and tears. They'll flow, but that's fine... I will run full pledged into the opportunities I see. I may run into a few doors as God closes them, but no one will ever get anywhere sitting on their butts. 

So, I guess that's all I really have to say right now. 

I really need to figure out why my thoughts always sound so jumbled. I dislike it allot. Blerg.

Oh well, for now I say goodbye.
