slow motion

So things have not gone as planned but there is progress. I am walking just about everyday. I applied to the college that offers me the biology class I need to get into Midwifery school in the spring. I sent in all the info they asked for, I am very hopeful to get accepted but I must be honest, I don't think I make their requirements.

Something else amazing has happened though since we last spoke. I believe God has shown me that he wants me to dedicate my life to serve the people who has a need that is greater than my own. This desire supersedes any other desire that I have including midwifery. It is very annoying to me that I have no idea what steps to take or who to contact to start to become a missionary, and I also want to take my kids along. I want to remove them from traditional public school and allow the world to be their teacher through travel and making friends all over the earth. I used to feel bad about moving all the time but now I don't. It is society that wants me to settle down and get a good job and fill my kids bodies with McDonalds and buger king, and fill their minds with sex through music and television. I wont be your victim anymore society, you are a crazy breed!


If someone walks pass this post and knows of a mission organization that will be suitable for me and my children, than please do not hesitate to leave a comment detailing the organization and it's contact info ie email address and url.


Until next time

I'm just getting started

Yesterday i decided to take a picture of myself to document where I am physically. I decided against checking my weight because I believe there is too much focus on the number. People feel as if the number defines them. I am not gonna allow that to be the case for me. I think we all need to be healthy and that goal can be achieved at many different numbers. So let's just leave it at that.

My brother offered to purchase this 20 day cleanse for me. I am so tempted! I know it will be hard but I think I need it, I am starting to get all kinds of minor things like yeast infections, colds, itchy skin, etc. Those things are sometimes what happens when there is toxicity in you body. You can fix that by cleaning yourself out and by eating healthier and thinking healthier! Let's go get em! :)

Now in terms of Midwifery where am I today?? Well I have decided on a school, and I have begun to make steps towards being accepted in that school. One thing I need is a Anatomy class. I tired to enroll in my local community college to get that class, but I needed 2 pre requisites first. This was upsetting to me because it is a minor obstacle but if I listen to them it would put me off my goal to start by one year. I can not let that stop me. I tried to get an override for that class and the teacher denied me. So i am looking at another college in my area and I applied. They have the class and it does not have any pre requisites. I still have to get them my high school and previous colleges transcripts before they determine if they can accept me.

It is a Christian college and I think it will be a good experience. I fell like the classes will be smaller and the approach to learning will be more wholesome. I am praying that I can not only get that class but get an A in the class, and really be able to apply it to me and my newly found profession.

You know I could just find a midwife and train under her, but there is something about having to work hard to get to where you need to be. It is much more rewarding and much more of a true preparation. Plus working under a midwife would lead me to her limitations. I would probably share her weaknesses. I am sure I will have some as well as I already do but I would like them to be true and unique to me and not because I am a carbon copy to someone else. Does that make any sense?

So here are my goals for next week:
1. Order my transcripts and have them sent to the new college(midwifery goal)

2. Pick up a book about Midwifery and start reading a little at a time( midwifery goal)

3. Drink half gallon of water a day(weight loss goal)

4. eliminate sweets(weight loss goal)

5.exercise at least 30 min a day( weight loss goal)

Be back next week to let you know how I am doing!
