Taken Prisoner

I sit at my computer, wanting to write a blog, as my mind begins to transform into mush. my eyes are saying go to sleep and my body and mind are saying keep going don't stop. 

Lately, my interest in my future career has taken hold of me. I am a captive of something I'm yearning to become one with. Music therapy is slowly become more of what my heart is wanting to become. If that makes sense. The more I've read and learn about it, the more anxious I grow. This is truly were my heart is at and I can not wait to get to the point in my life when I can use this to do miraculous things in this world.

Now days music is becoming more popular and scientist are beginning to realize that music can truly heal the mind body and soul.  Science has been around for quite some time but i believe music has been around longer than that, since the beginning of time. 

I just want to learn so much and time seems to be going so slow! I mean, I don't want life to go to fast but i have this passion for learning and I can't seem to get enough of it!

For now that's all i can say, because like I said before my mind is slowly turning into mush. The later the night grows the more my brain becomes a scrambled puzzle.

See ya 

Continuing On.

Today I’m going to talk about Friday night and Saturday. After my test on Friday, I got a tour of the campus, which was pretty neat. I also got a look at the dorms so I could have a better idea of what dorm I want to live in.

I tell you, I’ve never been to a place that had so many people that were as nice as these people were. I was swished away in the breeze of kindness that blew past me. I really think this school is one of the best things that has blossomed in my life.

Saturday was orientation, and I thought it was going to be a long and a semi stressful day, but what I found was an environment filled with encouragement and joy.

One lady whom sticks fresh in my head is Debbie. Her last name has been lost in the hustle n bustle inside my head so I can’t recall it at the moment. I met her while on my tour of the campus on Friday night. My dad, the tour guide and I were walking towards her and she suddenly stuck her hand out to shake mine and said “hi Taylor my name is Debbie”. I was totally caught off guard that she even knew my name. She was so sweet and let me know she was working on getting resources ready for me for the fall; so I’ll have the same advantage as all the other fully sighted students.

Another person who I’m really looking forward to next year is Dr. Stutes. She is the Dean of the Music School at Wayland. The first time I met her was when I went to visit WBU back in February. I saw her on Saturday and she said “Oh hi Taylor it’s nice to see you again!” She was also very sweet and I look forward to being in her class in the fall. It made me feel so special that a few people remember me.

Saturday I got to pick my classes (16 credit hrs) and register for everything else that I would need next year. (Dorm, meal plan, picture id, financial aid, ect). It was very well organized and made it easy to get everything done in a timely manner. Although, it took about 6 hrs to get through every station.

In conclusion, I am so ecstatic about going to Wayland in the fall and I can’t wait to meet new people and try new things. At the end of June, I believe ill get to find out who my roommate will be. How cool is that? I can’t wait!!! J

My God is leading me, so I shall follow and obey. Everything is working out because I’ve put it all in high hands.

God bless. J

Updates

Ok, so I am currently in Stephenville, Texas visiting with some step family. Really, the reason I am in Texas to begin with is because registration was last Saturday and I had to take a placement test for math at the college I’m going to be attending in the fall. If you don’t know what school that is, its Wayland Baptist University. God sure has been working marvelous things in my life throughout this past year.

So any who, let’s start out with last Thursday. My dad and I left for Texas around 7pm, driving through the night. It was about a 12 hour drive to get to Wayland, and it was pretty cool that I got to spend so much time with just my dad. We got to talk a bit, and it really made me feel closer to him. I haven’t been very close to my dad in a very long time, so it felt really amazing to actually get to talk to him about all sorts of stuff.

We arrived at my school around 11:30 on Friday morning, which was exciting.

At 1 o’clock I took my math placement test. Can anyone guess what grade I got on it???? Bet not… lol I got an “A” on it!!!!! I totally thought I was going to fail it, but I guess I was wrong. J Since I got an “A” It placed me in the College Algebra class. Wow, me ahead, how did that happen?!?!? That totally made my day.

Saturday’s extravaganza will be posted tomorrow just so my blogs can stay semi short. If I post my blogs too long, I’m afraid no one will read them. So stay tuned for more exciting news on this new chapter in my life. J

See Ya

What has God been telling me?

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and I should have posted this blog a few days ago but I just procrastinated it. Anyways... 

God has been revealing a few things to me in the last couple of weeks. Here is what I’ve come to realize. 

1. I am supper small!!!! Sometimes I make myself feel big when I’m really not. God has shown me He is way bigger than I could have ever imagined. The link below is a video God used to show this to me. There are 5 videos you don’t have to watch all of them.

2. There was this old text my friend once sent me, it said, to think of 5 things that God has done that is worthy of praise. At the moment I couldn’t think of anything, but as time went on, I realized some things worth of praising. One of them is: Every day God blesses us with a new painting in the sky. Every day, it reminds me of how beautiful He really is. Have you ever heard anyone say a picture can never be as good as the real thing. That reminds me of when I try to take a picture of a sunset. I try so hard to capture what my eyes are taking in, but guess what it never seems as marvelous as it was in person. 

3. To cherish the time I have with the people I love because time fly’s really fast and before you know it you want to turn back time and unfortunately you can’t. 

4. If God wants you to do something, somehow you end up doing it anyway. He pushes and pushes you until you have to do what He says. He has a plan for my life so why do I keep fighting what he wants, after all he knows what’s best for me, but I do it anyway.

I think there is more, but I can’t think of the rest at the moment. :) Peace 

PHIL 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”

Monday news (its monday right) jk

Man, I love working out. :) There’s just something about it, it’s the way I feel afterwards, I guess. It’s the feeling of satisfaction that you did something good for your body. Unfortunately, I haven’t worked out in a wile because of that little thing called laziness. hahaha don’t we all hate that. lol 

Any ways I’m really trying to get back into shape again. I usually would be in shape by now, but since I couldn’t fit track into my schedule this year, it has made me more out of shape than ever before. Ill get back to where I was eventually hopefully :)

Anyway, on to a more serious note I just ate this amazing chicken salad, and it tasted absolutely amazing!!!! YUMMMMM =D it definitely hit the spot.

P.S.- Just a heads up Ill be posting another blog here soon. (either tonight or tomorrow) Tootles for now.
