However ,I want to take a few minutes and jot down some thoughts and get a few people's opinions.
I think it is a well established fact by now that I am in medical school and that I have no time to do anything. But, the only problem with that is that there are still things that I have to do, need to do, and want to do besides school. I was thinking about that this week when it was brought to my attention that I may be lacking in one or more of these areas.
While I think everyone understands, ultimately it is my responsibility to make sure that I do the things that are important. Not only for myself but for the people I love, and so that I can have a home in heaven someday.
So, that being said, here is my to do list, i.e., things I need to be working on, things I need to do:
1. Call Granny (and other family members) at least once every other day...she's not in good health and I want to spend as much time as possible with her before she goes home
2. Visit my dad's side of the family more often (it's not that I haven't wanted to, it's just a time and location issue)
3. Form closer bonds with Michael's family
4. Read the bible every day (I am trying to make it all the way through by May...So far I'm only on Exodus 12)...yeah, fail. I did read through psalms, proverbs, song of solomon and Ecclesiastes this summer though
5. Stay off of facebook.
6. Prayer...I do quite a bit of this on the go, but I need pure, undisturbed, just me and God time....to worship Him and put Him first.
7. Lose at least 50 more pounds by May. and hopefully have met my goal (90 pounds by next Fall), now it may or may not go like this...depending on how my body has decided to cooperate. I'll tell you, the first 20 pounds have been slower than I thought.
8. Stay in touch with new and old friends.
You see, all of these things should not be that difficult right? Well, when you barely have time to sleep AS IT IS...they are more of a burden than they should be.
So help me out....how do you guys stay focused on what you need to do and incorporate it into your schedules...
I don't want to let my life pass me by. School is not the most important thing...God is and people are....so how do I be all that I know I need to be? How do I...do it all?
