September/October updates

It feels like a really long time, but it has only been 3 weeks? Anyways, here is my September/beginning of October update.

1. Work
Work is starting next week and I am nervous. It's something that gets me very anxious because there will be higher expectations on the work I perform and more responsibilities. But I need to remember that no matter how much work I receive, I need to perform my best nevertheless because I am working for the Lord and for His glory (Colossians 3:23-24; 1 Corinthians 10:31). And if you think about it, God has high expectations and responsibilities for me too. So instead, shouldn't I be anxious and strive to meet God's standards? I would fall short for sure, but I will just have to keep going. In that retrospect, I am not that anxious anymore.

2. School
Officially not a student anymore - can't use my student ID anymore! It does make me feel a lot older, but I know I'm still "young" hahhaa. But who knows? Maybe in two years time I will be back in school after receiving my designation :D 

3. Church
I plan to serve more at church and in our womens group (maybe in the new year after I transition into full-time). After finishing True Woman 101 with the womens group, we're starting the illumination project...which seems interesting, but will see how it goes.

4. Projects
Now that I am starting full-time, I believe I will have more time after work to pursue some interests that I have been wanting to do in a very long time.
a) Dance - not a lot of people know that I am interested to learn how to dance hahaha, but I've always wanted to since I was 7 or 8. I really like the footwork that is involved in dancing, so not the typical school dance kind of thing where you just sway and bob your head. What kind of genre? I don't know - I'll look into it and see what classes are available :D
b) Sewing - I don't have a lot of interest in doing this now, but I still want to make my own clothes; mainly dresses and sweaters. I'm a big fan of dresses lool even though I don't wear dresses often...even when I shop, I usually look at dresses...so maybe if I make my own dresses, I will wear dresses often??!! lol...
c) Working out - I need to start this even if part A fails. I know I have been neglecting the physical needs of my body due to laziness and I should start to take care of it, so the gym it is! Though I really prefer those gym dance classes instead! 

5. Relationships
I suppose this is a frequent topic that is brought up now that I'm no longer a student and am getting older. When I think about this, it's gets really weird and awkward because it's not like I will date a stranger, so it means that the potential significant other will arise from my circle of friends or from my workplace. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but as you grow older with full-time and such, your circle of friends begin to shrink as you will keep up with friends you'll see often and they're busy people too. And I usually hang out with the ladies more too...and men in the workplace - nahh. So I guess...I need to go out more often and meet new people? LOL. Don't think that's happening. It's okay, I don't see a significant need to think a lot about this. Anyways, God first, family second, friends third. 

Hymn:


Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone!
Because I know, He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
