Thoughts in the begining of 2009
I have been writing a lot lately… just not for my blog. I’ve been writing a essays for theological school admission, that explain my calling, “aha” moments, spiritual upbringing, and future leadership in the Church.
A dear friend read my essays. She dedicated so much time to helping me edit and challenged me to show them “Nancy” in my essays. Being vulnerable in my essays was tough, does a intimate and impacting thought lose it’s luster if you share it?
I realize I think and talk in tangents… so I write in tangents too, which is not so good for academia.
My best friend credits her love for travel to me. I think that’s the best complement I have received in 2009.
I am trying to read the Bible cover to cover… I have always chided myself for not reading the whole thing sooner… but I think this is the right time to do it… I’ve always been a late bloomer.
I love my job, but my first publication had two main heading/title mistakes… I have spent a couple hours over the last days putting labels over the mistake… I am having to learn my perfectionism lesson again. It is in my weakness…
The cold weather makes me want to curl up in a hole and die… unless I’m wearing skis and I’m on a mountain with lots of snow.
About a week ago my left eyesight kicked in. No joke I can see 20/20 out of my left eye!!!! I thought that I was just playing mind/eye games with myself but when I went to my eye doctor, it was the real deal! I have to believe that God healed me. He has a habit of doing such things. My right eye is much better too… it has a bit of astigmatism and far sidedness but it’s around 20/30 which is amazing!
Maybe I’ll post how God has healed me in the past? I wrote a theological school essay about it.
