Socked in the stomach

That's how I feel currently. I was told in a way that shouldn't necessarily hurt my feelings- that I lacked vision. This conversation came at a time when I was discussing with my family what my next steps were after graduation. Something that I have given a lot of thought to. To a degree I get that I lack vision in what the next steps are going to be- most people are focused on that next big position and me I'm focused more on what I will get out of the experience. I want my next position to elevate me and continue me on the path of becoming a director of a foundation or non-profit, or is it that I want the next position to provide me with the knowledge to navigate the world of political policy? Or is it that I want the next position to be fun, to continue to push my creativity in Social Media etc. Maybe that person was right, maybe I do lack vision.
  I just know that I have never had this broad goal of what I wanted to be at the end of the day. My goal was always to use whatever platform I was granted an opportunity to make a difference in the world. I want to be a social entrepreneur that connects the dots for big organizations and bridges the gap for other networks to provide real-time solutions for people in need. But what does that mean?
  Clearly I have some work to do and little time to do it in. I have a lot of soul searching to accomplish. The next few months are going to be spending a few hours a day studying for comps and figuring out my future. Can I do it? Yes of course I can, will it be easy... Heck no!

Goals

Hey y'all,
 I have been thinking a lot about changes that will be happening in the next few years, graduating, getting a new job etc. And now I have thought heavily about some goals I want to make for my future and just somethings I want to accomplish, so I wanted to share them with you in no particular order or need:

• Married and start a family
• Graduate with my Master's
• Attain my first job
• Change the world
• Buy a car
• Buy a house
• Visit all 13 Presidential Libraries ( I think it would be a great opportunity to learn history and to understand the role that presidents, and these particular presidents played in American History. I guess I will start with the Richard Nixon Library in College Park, MD since that is the closest one to me, but I think it would be a great set of road trips.)
• Travel- I want to go to Europe, just to see the different ways cultures work and not just have an idea from the books I read or the news reports but to see for myself.
• Visit EVERY pro-football stadium in the country

For now those are my goals, I will add to them when I come up with more ideas.

Entering into a new Season

Hey y'all:
  Last blog post I discussed my relationship with a new church I am attending. When I tell you how changed I am--- oooo we! God has been so good to me and through this week I have seen Him working in my life in such a powerful way. That even though I am currently sick I am in such a great mood, being so faithful and guided and protected.  I have been in and around the church practically all of my life. I have found my way back to the church despite my own shortcomings and this is the first time that I have fully submitted to His glory. And it is AWESOME! I mean AWESOME!! I am so blessed and am learning how to be more like Him. I pray every day to be placed more in His character. I pray that I can continue to build the relationship I have with Him and that He continues to guide me through my situations.
  I believe that I have found my church home. A place where I am strengthened, a place where I am EAGER to get back. Finding ways to be more involved just so that I can be wrapped in His glory.

Thank you Jesus!
   Okay, love y'all have a blessed day!
