Can't Sleep

After being in bed for over an hour now, my brain has not ceased thinking about everything I need to do, should do, wish I could do - none of which I can do right now or should think about doing because what I really need to do is SLEEP! I almost decided to blog around 10:30 but decided against it since nearly every single time I blog late at night I fight fatigue the following day. Tomorrow is Saturday and I don't go into work, but since my family are going shopping tomorrow morning I want to ensure that I get my full eight hours. I am one of those unfortunate souls who must have eight to nine hours of sleep for full brain capacity. Yet even then my brain fails me.

A Few Nights Before Christmas

First off, if you are my mom, stop reading right NOW and revisit on December 25th!

Doubting My Doubts

It is my final week of a three-week-long class on how to share my vision for ministry and tell stories better. Tonight my instructor asked me what I have learned, and I immediately answered, "I didn't know that I can tell stories, and do it well!"

If I don't feel absolutely prepared and confident at something I tend to withdraw. The same happens when I get carried away by the notion that everyone is better than me. Even at the beginning of the class two weeks ago I complained to my mom that taking a class over Skype is awkward and not ideal because of the disconnect I felt from talking to a computer screen. (So what should I do if I am in a situation that isn't ideal? Make the best of it... that just isn't my reaction the majority of the time.) It shows that maybe I need to Skype more.
