Moooooore writing

The next step in my application processes is probably what I most dread...

----the essays----

How in the world do I say who I am 700 words, 500 words, 250 words?! Not only do I have to be convincing in my terminology, but I also have to be concise?!  Not complaining... just surprised!!

It was weird and difficult writing what I was good and bad at for Life Purpose Planning, but writing to make people like me enough to be accepted into their school?!  I'm a little overwhelmed.

I know for the Statement of Purpose, you're supposed to talk about what your career objectives will be.  Sure, I can tell you that.  In fact, I worked on that for LPP, but will the admissions office take it?  Prooooooobably not.

One essay topic explores what risks I've taken recently and how I've overcome them.  Um, if I had my way, I would never take risks.  But as Hudson Taylor said, "Unless there is the element of risk in your exploits for God, there is no need for faith."  Wow... maybe, I need to change my worldview a bit, no?

That's just 2 of the 7 essays I'm supposed to be working on.  I have 15 days to finish them.  God's will be done.

And so it's out there, I'm applying for Acton, Babson, and Moore now.  If those don't work out, I might take the GMAT again and then apply for Duke.  Too bad the Moore school's name doesn't start with "C"... because then I could easily tell Mom the details about A, B, C, and D!  Ok, that was corny...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now... for something fun... and not related to writing!!  I already posted on G+ about watching COURAGEOUS, but I'll post here again.  IT WAS SO GOOD.  We're going to watch it again with our cell group this Friday and I'm excited.



The Courageous in 60 seconds only makes sense after you watch the movie - 



Alright, I'm going to work on some more writing.  Have fun doing whatever I'm not!

Blessings,
~CJ

Internal Emotional Wearing-down

Where I've come from: I have been driven by fear and a desire to please people. I hate that. I thought I could live for my own values and beliefs... but I haven't been able to. Not until this past Sunday. I told my mother off... I was breaking down inside. I have wanted to die for over a year now. Everything seemed hopeless. Not so much for me, but for my purpose and effective work on planet earth. I saw no fruit. I could labor for the rest of my days to live and serve my God. And never ever see the results... and not that I need to see something... but because I knew that what I did WAS POINTLESS. I was doing nothing. And it was because in my mother's eyes, I would never be ready. I would never be enough. She thought she was protecting. She wasn't letting me grow. I can't do more if all you let me do is what is safe. ~CJ

Thankful Thursday XI

Aaaggghhh... I am so behind in the blogging world, like one of my friends says, " it's not even funny. " *sighs*  And I didn't get the chance to blog the Phriday Photos / Funnies - so I'll do a double one tomorrow :) . Anyways - what I'm thankful for this week: 30. BLOGS!!! - I'll admit it. When I first heard the word "blog", I thought the cyberworld couldn't get any sillier.  Well, way to go, CJ. Just join the silliness. Evidently the silliness has its advantages O.O . It's a place for me to rant, rave, and ramble, whether or not my readers want to see it.  It helps me organize my wordy thoughts.  And!! I can share what's been on my mind without having to know if people are looking at me strangely... hehe.  A more serious reason: I can share and read other's testimonies on how God is answering prayers: Answereth All !! *big smile* 31. 2 jobs - It's strange to say my piano teaching is a job, since I really enjoy telli...

Friday Funnies III / Phriday Fotos II

Asis: Woah - I just swallowed a ton of food. Jsis: Most people do... Asis: I meant at ONE time!! ________________________________________________________ A 5yo boy from Sunday School comes up to me holding a toy train and says, "LOOK! I am a fixer train . I'm the train that takes broken trains on the track to the fixer factory ." ________________________________________________________ Here's an excerpt from Anne of the Island  that makes me laugh every time I read it: [Anne] "You won't say naughty words, or run away on Sundays, or tell falsehoods to cover up your sins?" "No. It doesn't pay," said Davy. "Well, Davy, just tell God you are sorry and ask Him to forgive you." "Have YOU forgiven me, Anne?" "Yes, dear." "Then," said Davy joyously, "I don't care much whether God does or not." "Davy!" "Oh -- I'll ask Him -- I'll ask Him," said Davy qu...
