Skills, Me?

Yes, me. In class today we got together in small groups and among other things we were supposed to tell each other our skills. I have trouble speaking on the spot as it is, so when it came to me all I said is "I really don't know what skills I have. I am still trying to figure it out."
For a major portion of the day since then, I have been trying to analyze myself more. I know I am an INFP, but I am just not sure I know enough about myself. I have difficulty answering those questions personality evaluations and other evaluations give. I have been thinking that I really would like to either find some skills or learn some skills. And the more I think about it, the more I know I have a lot to offer. For the same class I have been reading the book, Primal Leadership, and when I read about EI (Emotional Intelligence) in the appendix, and started the book, I said to myself--yes, I really can be a leader. I really can be enthusiastic and encouraging. I know I can grow in EI and I do need to. As I read about how emotions spread to others, I thought about how important it is for me to bring positive emotions with me rather than negativity. I think it will help me to be positive and feel good about myself if I spend a few minutes before my day to consecrate it to God and let Him encourage my spirit. If I get up on the third time my alarm goes off, instead of the fourth time, I can give God ten minutes before I start my day. Well, I am going to try--. Good night everyone.

Back to school!

Back to the books! Oh yes the good times I will have tinking around all day and staying up all night to finish the papers that I can never seem to work enough ahead on. Study, study, study. I do manage to have time for fun, somewhat. Like blogging, emailing, talking on the phone, like hanging out with international students every Saturday. What I want to do more this quarter is hike!!! I want to check out some new trails on the mountains near me. It looks like I will have to work hard this quarter, so I will just have to make sure I do have a life outside of school. So help me out bloggers! How can I have a more exciting life and still do well in school???

Sharing my thoughts with the world!

This is my first time blogging but I think it will be fun. I love to journal. This will be a great way to share some thoughts with the world. I used to write in my journal as if others were reading it. In two different journals I even went through the ABCs of becoming a Christian. You know, Admit your a sinner, Believe Christ died on the cross, and Confess your sins. I have preached sermons on those in my journals. Once I wrote inside the cover of my journal, if you find this return it to such and such an address, and do not read. Later I changed it to--please do read! In it are lessons learned and growth experienced--or something like that. Even though I love to journal it comes in spurts. I have several journals that I wrote in at one time--one contains a decade worth of my life, another almost that, and another--my first little diary--still has entries!!! I lost it for awhile and then just used my other journals because they allowed more space to write. Anyways, I think I will really enjoy this blogging and reading others. I hope my blogging proves interesting to others and maybe enlightening to my friends and acquaintances who may not get the same side of me from plain conversation or face to face encounters. Here after all, I feel safer to take off the veil. For some reason, it is in writing that the wall blocking the easy flow of my conversations dissloves. So have fun everyone, and feel free to comment!
