Simplify.

Currently, my mind is a portal of information, with the little tasks of today sticking around the inside of my head like build-up before a blood clot that sends its victim into a heart attack. Grotesque, I realize.

I am doing quite a number on myself by staying SO busy with so many small tasks throughout the day that I have no time for what's really important.

What is truly important? I think to myself.

Well, I suppose centering my life around following and praising God. That comes first.

Reading the Bible, praying for my dear brothers and sisters, and worshipping with joy through times of blessing and times of pain and sorrow.

Secondly, balancing my life between friends and school work.

Thirdly, playing soccer, basketball, dancing, running, and making time to exercise. God knows I need it to stay remotely sane. :P

Fourthly, activating! Getting outside my head and involved in things that interest ME (not anyone else... ME!)

And finally... resting. No, I really do not need to do homework right now. Katherine, you've never had a problem with school. Therefore, now is definitely NOT the time to worry. Go in peace and make time for God and you.

I learned an important lesson in Acting Fundamentals yesterday.

"People do not pay to watch people emote. People come to watch people DO and BE people." Act with your actions., and let the thinking come as it shall.

Let me tell you... that is not how I got into Anne Frank's head. I used my head first, tapped into her character, and then let my actions come as they may.

BUT THAT WAS THEN. AND THIS IS NOW.

So I'm gonna simplify, and let God do the walking, the talking, and the thinking (Eeek!)

Clarity and Peace with who I am and what I've got to offer.

Be grateful and thankful for what I have.

Rejoice for today!

"God's will is doing exactly what needs to be done, when it needs to be done."

Whew! I give my

head/heart/mind/spirit/body

to you.
