It’s been ages…
Well hello again strangers. Life has been very different lately. I have started to become more secure in my own skin again. I am doing well with taking things as they come and not worrying about the future. I also have been focusing more on my religion. I want to get closer to God. I am constantly reading my Bible and really trying to get into our college group Bible study. I decided to go on a missions trip to Chile at the end of June. It will be my first time traveling out of the country and doing something of this sort. I can’t wait to see what God allows me to do and how much I will grow in my relationship with him. I am eager to help others down there and I can’t wait to experience a different culture.
I have been working very hard on getting myself “better”. I can tell the difference, most of the time. I am doing so well with therapy and DBT. I have learned so many skills and how to cope with certain situations. I feel so good about myself. I am stronger than ever. I have learned to be assertive. Now I don’t let people walk all over me. I love it. If I have a problem with something, I speak up. I am no longer afraid of what people think. I could honestly careless. I am doing so well.
Work is great too! I have been helping my mom with her class. She teaches the Xcel team now. I get to go to the competitions as a coach now. It’s so much fun. I was nervous at first but then I realized I needed to be brave for the girls who were competing for the first time. They did so well! They both got first place all around in their age division. I couldn’t believe it. Wining first place definitely boosted their confidence. We have a meet this weekend. They are eager to go. I’m positive that they will do well. Oh, and I’m taking the judges test again in August. But this time I am taking it with Kristen. We are going to a judges clinic on Wednesday. I am not as eager as she is but I think it’s because this will be my second time attempting to pass.
