Bio-Poem

This is a poem I wrote for a class.



Me
Follower, human, leader, pilgrim
Wrestled the angel for more than a name
Lover of God
Who believes in God, others and life.
Who has been alive for 6,851 days (at the time of writing), witnessed the bonds of love and the seasons change.
Who has experienced love, light, and melody.
Who fears insignificance, non-commitment, and failure.
Who gives freely, openly and cheerfully to those around her.
Who has done college, made a difference, and made a friend.
Who wants to see miracles.
Woman of God.
Traveling lightly and deeply.

The Guardian

I took this test a while back, and it is pretty darn accurate! If you want the link to take it, post it in a comment. 


Your Keirsey Temperament Sorter Results indicates that your personality type is that of the:
Guardian


Guardians are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services--from supervision to maintenance and supply -- and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.

Guardians can have a lot of fun with their friends, but they are quite serious about their duties and responsibilities. Guardians take pride in being dependable and trustworthy; if there's a job to be done, they can be counted on to put their shoulder to the wheel. Guardians also believe in law and order, and sometimes worry that respect for authority, even a fundamental sense of right and wrong, is being lost. Perhaps this is why Guardians honor customs and traditions so strongly -- they are familiar patterns that help bring stability to our modern, fast-paced world.

Practical and down-to-earth, Guardians believe in following the rules and cooperating with others. They are not very comfortable winging it or blazing new trails; working steadily within the system is the Guardian way, for in the long run loyalty, discipline, and teamwork get the job done right. Guardians are meticulous about schedules and have a sharp eye for proper procedures. They are cautious about change, even though they know that change can be healthy for an institution. Better to go slowly, they say, and look before you leap.

Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population, and a good thing, because they usually end up doing all the indispensable but thankless jobs everyone else takes for granted.

Guardians at Work
As a Guardian, you enjoy working as a valued member of a team, whether you are leading it or following a credible leader. You like to work with people who carry their weight. You appreciate having clear-cut responsibilities and being recognized for your dedication and achievements. Your natural traits are those that employers have traditionally valued - and that successful companies still respect. You are responsible and loyal to an organization once you've signed on.

You are most comfortable when your life is structured. As a result you usually prefer a workplace that lets you create a routine you can settle into. Because you are dependable and exacting, your colleagues and customers rely on your work. Your ideal job offers you a clear chain of command, and lets you progress through a hierarchy based on your meeting expectations.

Instead of complaining...

Hello blogger-land! It's been a long time since we've seen each other..
Anyway, today's blog is about contribution. And fear. And other things. I hope that you'll come along.
Recently, I decided to enroll in an Anatomy and Physiology class. I am a kinesiology major, so I do need to meet lower-level requirements, pre-req's, etc. In said class, I have to enroll in a lab portion. Personally, I thought this class and lab would be fun, challenging, and interesting. Little did I know.
The first night of lab wasn't too bad as it is the usual. Go over syllabus, lab rules, look at stuff under the microscope, yada yada yada. However, the next consecutive classes, things started to change. I then found myself complaining along with the others about said about the teacher and wanting to drop lab and other things. I just could not see anything positive about anything in that lab. Or the teacher, for that matter. However, last night I realized how wrong I was.
Last night I found out my grades for the first test and some of my quizzes. Not to pretty. I was MAD. I wanted to march up to the teacher and give him a piece of my mind, among other things. I wanted to complain to the lecture teacher, administration, other classmates and my friends. A great injustice was going down!! I even called my mom after class and cried on the phone about it with her on the phone listening to me. But when I got home, I realized.
I realized that my complaining hindered me from learning. Bitterness will often do that to you. I realized that I needed to contribute. I needed to not with hold love from anyone in that class. Love is not a currency. It is a movement. It is a verb. It requires. It demands. It boldly goes forth and gives light to people. When I was complaining about the lab and the teacher, I was withholding love from it. That is wrong. The Bible says that God is love. I was holding God back from that class.
So Lord, I repent. When I am tempted to complain, let me contribute. When I mess up, let me realize. When others want to complain to me, help me to be bold enough to ask them to join me in praying for my lab and lab teacher.
And what about you dear reader? What is holding you back from contributing?


March.

Woah. It's March already. When did this happen? Time whipping by so fast and all. At least school is going okay.

Yay.

Sorry for my suckish post. Here's a video to make it better:

Done.

So yesterday, I finished all of my classes for the semester. Overall, I find that it was a pretty good experience. I'm just glad to be done. Done. It's such a nice word. It speaks of resolve and beginning all at the same time. However, done also means that I am one step closer to being free and on my own at a real college, not the one I go to now. That thought kind of scares me, actually. But with God's help, I know I can do it.
Additionally, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I know that for many people it will be a hard day, but I personally am going to spend it with the people I love. So it's all good.
As a parting thought, I'll leave the two of you who may actually read this thing with this:
"This is one of the miracles of love-it gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted."- C.S. Lewis
You are loved.

A Fresh Start..
