here i am sitting around. i thought i would update on what is going on, tho i am unsure how far to go back. so i will type in generalities.
i have started school. my focus is psychology. i am rather excited about this season. it is amazing how God put it together and has had me walking the last few steps. i am connecting with a group called oath , i hope to be assisting with the recovery of young adults rescued from trafficking here in oklahoma. it turns out it is quite an endeavor, i am amazed that modern day slavery is such a huge issue. there are a lot of factors to care for and be aware of with this kind of outreach. i will begin the core study in february.
i have gotten myself a guinea pig. he is quite the entertainer, named gilbert by the previous owner. gilbert gives me quite a good amount of laughter when i am home.
i will be going to see my family for the christmas holiday and hope to take gilbert with me. i am checking into the cost and parameters of taking a guinea pig on an airplane. should be quite interesting i would guess. he will be carry on luggage of course so i will need to plan for that. (it is amazing how much crap gets to go with me on a vacation.. nuff said.
umm tonight i am filling in for a gal at work so i get to be @ work a bit later than i prefer. i am pretty tired, but have a nice supper waiting for me so i guess i will go and check it out here in the next few minutes.
k going now :)
have a wonderful night.

?
like a drug i come to You for my need to get met. and then walk away. do You feel used, as a human would? do You wait in anticipation for my need to overpower me? i guess You would rather me come just because i want to, just because i want You, not because i need my next fix. help me understand this love You are. is it only rebellion that keeps me running?
i have found the greatest in You. acceptance and approval, grace, forgiveness, life, creativity has returned, and healing has taken place. yet i come to You in my weakness and broken, You revive me and i go my own way until i need 'fixed' again. can this cycle end? can i find peace and stay with You because i want to? not because i have to have You...? will You always come after me? will You go to the highway and bi-way looking for me? can i get lost from You? can You forget me or choose another in my place? can i hurt You so that You will finally give up on me and let me go?
i'm sorry. i need a fix....

Positivity
people who are especially talented in the positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is contagious. they are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.
what makes you stand out?
by nature, you may enhance your own quality of life or sense of well-being. how? perhaps you compliment certain people. maybe you acknowledge the contributions of particular individuals. occasionally you call attention to some of their talents, knowledge, and/or skills. it's very likely that you sometimes notice your quality of life improves when people appreciate your good-matured, even-tempered personality. driven by your talents, you may lavish praise on others. even so, you occasionally suggest how they might do some things better the next time. instinctively, you occasionally sense all is well with the world when people listen attentively to you. you might capture and keep their interest by interpreting the not-so-obvious meanings and inner workings of theories, projects, machines, or procedures. because of your strengths you may feel good about life once you attempt to make sense out of your current situation. perhaps you are a little more optimistic when you figure out why you were or were not given a particular assignment, why some decisions were made, or why certain people behaved the way they did.
absolutely - this all is very true :)

Woo
woo?.. really? that is a strength?????!!!

woo - people who are especially talented in the woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over(k that explains a lot..). they derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person (always).
what makes you stand out?
it is very likely that you occasionally exhibit the behavior of an extrovert. perhaps your sociable nature implies you to exert a bit more effort now and then to get certain people to like you. driven by your talents, you may contend there is something worthwhile and perhaps lovable about many people. you attempt to find the good in each person with whom you spend time. you might overlook some negative traits to discover praiseworthy ones (oh yeah, i still seeing such good in people even with all their decisions). you might concentrate on the desirable qualities that distinguish an individual from everyone else. once in a while, you remind others about why you consider someone special. you may hope that one day they can value the person, too. by nature, you boost the spirits of people with your buoyant enjoyment of life. when you walk into a roomful of people, you add energy and optimism. when you depart, the absence of your exuberance and hope-filled outlook is soon noticed (well it would be nice to be told this..). because of your strengths, you often share your ideas, feelings, and experiences. your openness makes it easy for people to figure out who you are (i certainly do try to lay it all out so no one feels confused about me...). they can begin to understand what causes you to think and act the way you do. chances are good that you attempt to surround yourself with thinkers. when you encounter them, you might share a few of your latest theories, concepts, or philosophies. you might place a special value on these conversations. occasionally they might supply you with a new idea or a fresh perspective. perhaps you gather information, store it in your mind, or somehow document it. you may not know at that moment how something you have heard, read, or observed will lead you to another discovery or insight.
