I've come to the conclusion...

Many times I've set out in life with huge ambitions because I've always been taught to "dream big." However, what I wasn't really taught was the fact that once you start something, you need to finish it. Let me rephrase... I was taught to always finish what you start, never leave a stone unturned, etc. However, I have come to find in my 25 years of existence that if it isn't my agenda, or it isn't something that is shiny or has spinners or just generally makes me go "WOW!" I get bored with it.

Today is my declaration that my next 25 years will be full of things that I have started AND completed. My last post was nearly one year ago, I said I wanted to be a different person and well, physically, I'm not. However, some things have changed in my life. My brother went to war and I'm anxiously awaiting his return. While he's been at war our relationship has changed drastically and I'm not going to reveal right now the source of this change, hopefully in time I will be able to look back, laugh, and say "Jenn, you freaked for nothing." My mother has steadily come to the realization that God's word is truth and life and that she holds the power of life and death in her tongue. So thankful that God is faithful to His word and everyday she's getting stronger and healthier. I'm FINALLY finishing college and ready to start a new chapter in life. I'll write something about that later. Finally, I've found that I do have a say in things, my opinion does count but only if I believe it counts. Other people won't take your word or even entertain the thought if you don't even believe that what you have to say matters.

I've come to learn that through diligence, discipline, and obedience you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. So before you learn to dream big, be disciplined so your dreams don't become pipe dreams.

So, nearly a year later, I'm going to start writing again. Perhaps I should change the name of my blogspot, make a new one. I'd rather not because that wouldn't be finishing what I started ;)
