Almost there!

I've been getting really excited about reading my Bible. Seeing as soon this will be the first time I've ever gotten all the way through. I finished the Old Testament a couple days ago. And I've been really enjoying it. You know finding out things I wasn't aware of and getting more in-depth on all those stories I thought I knew pretty well from Sunday school.

I'm glad I'm finally doing this. I should've done it awhile ago, but I feel like this is the right time. This was God's plan for me, and I just fall more and more in love with my creator every day. It's really given me a whole new perspective on what I believe and it's refreshing.

I really stoked to finish it, and then go back and study it even more in-depth. Right now I'm doing a bit of just a read through, but I excited to learn more and just continue shaping my faith. It's just too cool.

Our God truly is an awesome God. :]

5 hours isn't enough sleep?

I've been feeling really lazy today and I'm a tad upset about it. Laziness is exactly what I've been trying to avoid. I want to get back in the groove of doing things since fall semester starts next Wednesday. You know waking up at 6:30 a.m. and getting everything out of the way for my 10 a.m. class.

No, I'm not nuts, I'm just determined. I've been looking forward to starting my junior year of college. So many changes are going down this year and I have a lot more responsibility on my plate. I have no room for mistakes and I'm going to make sure that I get everything done before it needs to be done.

No more slacking, no more leaving things to the last minute and definitely no more procrastinating. I have to make sure I'm doing the best I can and worrying about little things later. I need to focus and keep my eye on the prizes. Which are continuing to fall deeper in love with my Savior and essentially graduate in two years.

I've made sure to aid in both goals. I'm currently working on reading the entire Bible in 90 days. I've unfortunately messed up quite a few times, but I'm scheduled to be completely finish in the beginning of October. Which is really exciting for me. I want to be able to understand more and grow through that to become the woman of God, God has created me to be.

In the sense of graduating on time, I'm not sure if that's possible seeing as they've yet to allow me to meet with an enrollment adviser, but I feel like I've been doing everything on track. I haven't really taken any classes that should interfere with that, I hope.

I need to make the habits I won't form, but I recently learned that it takes 21 to 28 days to form a habit. And at first I thought I had a leg up and was doing great. But then I went to bed late and couldn't get myself out of bed at 6:30 a.m. I'm just going to keep trying and hope for the best.
