Things will get better.

So today was a day of ups and downs and I realized something...

I have less than a year until I am no longer in highschool. I will be going on to college and that's HUGE. But, I am NOT ready. I was talking to Scot today about how I'm not ready in any shape or form, but then it hit me like a train, I COULD be.  If I could just make myself do the things I know I should, life would be easier and less stressfull, and honeslty I need less stress. A few things I want to work on are:

1. Faith - I want to get back into the word. I always talk about how my faith is dwendling into nothing and how God seems so distant and so far away, but really, he's always trying to be there, but I'm pushing him away by not talking to Him everyday, and not getting into His word. I'm screwing myself out of an amazing relationship with my Savior. That's going to change starting tommorow.
2. Words - I'm going to watch my mouth. I know that I slip into this vulgar way of speaking and behaving at times, and there really is now excuse for it. At all. So four letter words and their five letter cousins are gone from my vocabulary as of now. It wont be easy, but it's something that needs to be done, because really, who am I showing people I am by claiming one thing and acting another way?
3. Body - I am always saying that I'm 'fat' but really I'm not. I'm just normal. But I'd like to be fit. I'd like to not have to catch my breath after a couple of stairs. I want to be able to take of my shirt next summer to go swimming and not feel like everyone is looking at me and wishing I'd put my shirt back on. So that's gonna change. And this isn't because of 'weight', it's because of being fit. I want to be FIT. I will be. Just watch.

I know I've made updates like this before, but you know wh at I wasn't in it back then. But with adult life comming in fast, I know I can do this. I just need some support and some incouragement, and it's gonna be done. :D.
