My College experience

            Here recently I have been evaluating my life.  I have been trying to understand why I participate in things I do, why I like to do what I do and how it is helping me in life.  In doing so, I have realized that a lot I do has absolutely no relevance.  I am a participant in it, just because.  Ultimately this is an easy access for unnecessary stress that generally takes over the things in life that has a reason for stress. I started to evaluate my life while I was at Re-Fresh in the Leadership Sessions that I had to be apart of.  I did not think that these Leadership Sessions were going to have such a huge role in my life.  Mandy was the instructor for these sessions and she pulled things out of each individual that quite frankly I did not know was there.  She had all of us taking the time out to realize and understand how important being a Leader is and making sure that you are doing what you do because you want to.  I have been a leader for several years in several organizations and ministries and it was not because I wanted to be a Leader it was because I got put into that role.  Now do not get me wrong in a lot of ministries and organizations I am in I enjoy what I do but the key is, is that I was not doing it because I wanted to.  I am a very sweet person and I have a helping hand and if I see a group in need of my help I am there.  I have always been like that, meaning that I have a hard time saying NO…  By me having a hard time saying no it puts me in situations that are hard for me to get out of, situations that I often get stuck in.  I am now learning how to say No and not feeling a need to help everyone.  I now understand that I need to make sure that I want to do if for myself and I pray about it.  Thanks so much, hope you enjoyed this blog and I will see you all soon…
