SLOW IT DOWN, KINZI

My mind is constant jumbled mess. Most of the time, I just want to SCREAM! Not because I'm sad about anything, or mad about anything. Because I can't get my speedy mind to slow down. Go, go, go, go! I want to do this, I need to do that, I'd love to do that someday, I hope for this, I'm too tired, I'm not tired at all, I'm kind of hungry, never mind, what should I do tomorrow? I feel like I'm dreaming most of the time. That's not normal, is it? I try finding peace and rest in the comfort that I can "cast my anxieties and fears unto the Lord." He'll slow my mind...won't he? Whatever. I'm too wound-up to write this post, anyway. LAKJSHFDOAIWUEGRABO0VINHWQMJA;SKDJFHOBAIUYWOENIMVA;SLKDJF;AOIUWBPEHIASGDLFKJAS;DVNHLAISGOVLJKAS;FSLKDJFNV;SLHFSVALDF

Goals

I have a ton of goals I want to set for myself and since I can't seem to find a pen or some paper, I'm going to post them on my blog. Enjoy!

1. Less secular music. Garbage in, garbage out!
2. Less tv. Or in my case, less time on Hulu and Netflix.
3. Less time on facebook and turn off my computer at least an hour before bed!
4. Meditate.
5. Walk/run at least 10 miles a week. That might not seem like a lot to some people but for me, it's a start!
6. ABSOLUTELY NO MAKE-UP for 2 days of the week. Besides, it's what's on the INSIDE that matters!
7. Less complaining! Take a look around and focus on the good things! I only have one life to live and I don't want to spend it complaining about my situations.
8. Be more involved with LIFE! I have too much to offer to the world to feel self-conscious.
9. Follow a bible reading schedule.
10. Get back into the things that made me happy when I was little girl...like archery, studying animals, and painting!

That's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure more will come to me very soon.

I hope everyone is having a beautiful day!

Next chapter.

Wow. It has been a long time since I've blogged. Let me catch you up...

It's been a crazy semester! After my not-so-boring summer in Nevada, I came back and signed up for more classes at William Woods. Let's just say I pulled out with 3.25 GPA and I'm pretty darn proud of it! This was, however, my last semester at WWU because I am deferring for a semester while I get situated back in Nevada! Missouri has been great, I just feel like I need to get out on my own for a bit.
What else is new? I sold Pat (my truck) and bought Cootsie...a Kia Sportage and I love her. She's so precious, I can't wait to take her out to Nevada.
I also have a few new hobbies: knife-throwing and playing on my ukulele! I'm pretty good at knife-throwing (my uncle calls me Annie Oakley) and I kinda suck at the ukulele...for now. Practice makes perfect, right?

So let's talk about Nevada. What am I thinking, right? I'm quitting school and moving to Vegas. Let me say that again...I'm quitting school...and moving to Vegas. Am I on drugs? Maybe. A few months ago, I just felt like I needed a change of scenery. I'm also 20 and I've never lived away from my parents. Nevada wasn't my first option, either (I was looking at schools in Denver, West Palm Beach, and Texas). Nevada just kind of fell into place so I'm taking that as a sign from God that I should be there for a while. However, my heart is broken right now because I have to leave my family. I'm so blessed to have a family that loves me and supports me. I love them all so much.

So I'm moving out there on January 3rd. It'll be the start of new chapter, and new year. I don't have "resolutions" but I definitely have some goals for my time in Nevada...
1. Join a freakin' gym! It's so cliche for my first goal to be to lose weight, but who cares...
2. Missions. Missions. Missions. WHY am I calling myself a Christian if I'm not living out my faith? C'mon Kinzi, you can do better.
3. $$$
4. Meet new people. And love them.
5. Have fun! I'm 20...I'm supposed to be having fun, right?

So here's to [another] new chapter in my life. I'm ready! I think...

Being beautiful is more than how many boys you can get to look at you or how much makeup you can wear. It’s about what you live for. It’s about what defines you. It’s about the heart that you have and what makes you special. It’s about those little quirks that make you, you. It’s about knowing that you are a creation of God, created in His image. It’s about shining for Him, no matter what else is going on around you. It’s about going against the flow and living out what you honestly think. And that is a beautiful thing.
