Well here's post #1 for the week. Thank you to those who haven't reminded me that I'm late, I've been traveling and since my laptop has no battery life these days and my phone is not a convenient way of typing up a blog, it's taken me an extra day to get enough time to type this out.
What great thoughts do I have for you today? alas... I have no idea :P I've been thinking about this post for the last couple days and frankly I haven't come to very many conclusions...
Has anyone else noticed how many highschool students are protesting the dress code these days??? One of my friends posted an article on facebook that I just came across... It's written by an individual protesting the protesters.
http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/kelly-mcparland-school-is-about-learning-and-that-includes-lessons-on-appropriate-clothing
I actually loved this article. Because it recognizes the responsibility teachers and principals have to educate and demonstrate to students beyond what is simply mathematics or literature. I can recognize for a few of the students taking on these protests the teachers/principals may have been a little picky as far as the dress code goes. But the fact remains, that teacher/principal has a responsibility to uphold school dress code, and that includes helping students understand appropriate and inappropriate dress for their situation. Every school has a dress code, for some that may mean uniforms, others that may simply expect students to have shoulders covered or no skin showing above the knee... Once your off school property you are no longer under the school dress code. But your still within someone's dress code... that may be the mall which says no shirt, no shoes, no service... maybe the community you live in simply expects to be able to walk down the street and not see their neighbor in their birthday suit...
Whatever the case may be, if you step into a community of some sort there are certain guidelines that must be upheld. Coming from one of the more conservative communities I often hear complaints about not being allowed to wear jewelry, or not allowed spaghetti straps on campus. I've had friends throw a fit because they left campus and had a party off campus where everyone came back drunk and got in trouble with the discipline community.
In response to the on campus rules, I recognize that in the "real world" your allowed to wear "anything you want" but thats not the case... There's always rules at work, at home, at softball practice about what you may or may not wear... you might be allowed jewelry... but you may have to get rid of those ripped jeans.
As for the off campus discipline, you chose to go to the school, you knew the rules before you came. You probably came for the atmosphere, the friends, maybe you came because your family told you how great a school it was. As a student, especially of higher levels of education, you carry with you the ability to give your school a reputation. The authority at these schools have the responsibility to ensure that their students uphold the reputation that they strive to create. Just because you take a group of these students off campus... Doesn't give you the right to break every rule...
I find the younger generation forgets why certain expectations exist. With sex offenders on the rise, they still fight the system to be allowed to wear less clothing. Is it their fault if they get sexualized and/or raped??? no, it is definitely not their fault. but they didn't help matters either did they? We should be fighting the problem, not arguing that there shouldn't be a problem...
As far as students and teachers who may not agree with the dress code and feel a protest or blatant disregard is the answer... Remember... your in the system of education, the one that thrives on teachers and students. Students need to stop protesting their problems and address the real issue. If you feel the codes need to be updated from the stone age... then figure out an appropriate way to talk to the teachers and get the codes updated. I won't lie, I'm sure alot of school just copy and paste their manuals and who knows the last time the manual was actually looked through... if it was from back in your grandmother's day when ankles were super inappropriate... maybe you should get the teachers to update it. But if you just really like your dress and think everyone is ridiculous for thinking it's inappropriate... maybe you should rethink whether or not you have the right to complain. Not everything needs to be updated believe it or not... check out different businesses in your community and find out their dress code... is it the tacky shirt with a logo and khaki pants??? you may not want to use them as an example... but how about high class business professionals... banks, real-estate agents... alot of very well dressed individuals... who dress to impress and follow the code accordingly... maybe you need to go to a more casual counselor or gym to find out their codes... but where ever you go to check out dress codes... remember you can't go to a swimming pool and expect class rules to be the same... gym rules and professional rules aren't the same... But assess where on the scale your school/setting may be and remember to respect the authority who's been around awhile and kinda has an idea of what they are talking about.

Well, since last I posted alot has happened, so I'll try to catch you up with much of whats been going on.
1. I'm writing this blog post from my newest Gmail account... kim@soar4him.com. I'm working on putting my goals and dreams into motion, and I've started with a website where I can get it all started and organized. For those of you that have created an organization, feel free to email me a to-do list of what I need to do, Thus far, I'm working to build skills and networking that may help me further this goal, If your reading this and know a school/church/youth group interested in a special youth program let me know. I currently have available an instructor qualified to teach survival skills as well as some basic first aid knowledge. Just looking for groups to present to. Shoot me an email we'll see what we can work out :) Beyond that I'm looking to become qualified to present a seminar on Depression and volunteers willing to become qualified to help with that as well. So far funds and people are holding me back for that. So I'll keep you posted, as to when that comes available.
2. I have gotten 3 accounts set up to post to this blog, I'm hoping to do 1 blog post every day from 1 of the 3.... Though I might decide to make that a Sunday, Tues, Thursday thing... Eitherway... I have 3 accounts, for 3 of my business goals...
a) kmckay@burmanu.ca As a recent Graduate I am definitely looking for work so this is kind of my go-to email for most of my life... friends, family, possible employers, etc... somehow I don't know that organizations that work with @risk youth or adventure therapy really want to be hiring someone who's email is knifegirlkim@gmail.com... o.O ... I mean once they start asking questions I think they'd understand and there would be no problem... but lets get me to that interview before throwing such questions into the mix...
b) knifegirlkim@gmail.com my plan is to continue presenting cutco, keep it as a source of income and keep using it to build my dreams and meet my goals. If you guys want some knives... you know where to go first ;)
c) kim@soar4him.com This is where all my dreams come together... in the next few years I'd like to be able to see this program building, get contracted out to do programs in many different areas of North America to work with youth, to challenge churches to further their circle of influence in their communities, and challenge individuals to grow, to dream, and to create for themselves the lives God has given them to live.
I would like to focus on writing this blog every couple of days, for a few specific reasons:
a) to grow better my writing skills... first of all resumes and coverletters are miserable guys... whoever invented such things were ridiculous... but my theory is if I can write more... maybe a few sentences about why I'm awesome won't be so hard to write out... with all my plans who knows what God will make me write... and part of me says don't get better cause then He'll make me write more... the other part of me realizes He's going to make me write whether I get better or not so I might as well just get it over with and strengthen the gifts He's given me... I find myself always settling for good... and never feeling it necessary to achieve greatness... and I've got lots of reasons for that maybe I've already written them.... maybe I'll write them someday... but settling for good not great is pathetic... and seriously guys... if you have an opportunity to achieve greatness in something... do it...
b) I've thrown around the idea of writing a book someday... and I've had many people tell me I should write a book. all of which... is about 75% joke, 25% serious... so again in my attempt to allow myself the opportunity of greatness... I need to start writing... So lets start with a blog that probably doesn't have a far reach... really if it does don't tell me :P I like being a secret, it makes me more honest... ;) So here's my attempt at becoming a writer...
c) I'm looking to set goals and stick with them... Write now in my life I feel like I'm living in limbo in many areas of my life... nothing to focus on immediately because of commitments I've made, or situations that keep further commitment just out of reach... I kinda just have to make goals and figure out how to make them happen, but I have time frames that keep me from anything too concrete at least for the summer... So here's goal #1 to write more. to make 3 posts on this blog a week... 1 from the perspective of the recent graduate, 1 from sales, 1 from my dreams... Wish me luck, pray for me, and if you're following diligently and you don't see a new post for over 3 days... please try to hold me accountable and send me a message. Ask me if I died, remind me that by setting goals I am better able to achieve goals, remind me that Integrity and follow through are key ingredients to making dreams come true.
3. I'm writing this blog to expand my comfort zone... if your new to this blog... you probably just ready my status on facebook and was like wow! Kimmy's blogging!!! What? yeah... I know... Well... the fact that you know about this is already outside of the comfort zone... I've told a few people... so that they can keep up to date on my life... cause I do alot of stuff but I forget to tell people... so if I have a blog and something really cool happens... I can tell them all at the same time :D and if they didn't read the blog... well... thats their problem they didn't know cause obviously... they didn't read the blog that I told them about so they'd know ;) but... by not posting regularly... really it's my fault... why should they look if I only post every few months... also I can convince myself that I'm totally anonymous and no one reads it anyways so I can say whatever I want... well... I'm probably going to be a little less honest knowing that I've now opened this blog to the entire world of facebook... however... I'm going to attempt to be nearly as honest... because it's partly about expanding that terrible comfort zone... bah humbug... With that in mind guys... I know I've told you to hold me accountable as far as making sure I keep posting... try to pretend that you don't know who's writing here... If I have 50 people remind me to keep posting... I'm probably going to become a turtle and hide in my shell till everyone gives up and goes away... But I will try to not run away...
I think thats all I've got for today, and I gotta run... presentation and cross my fingers she loves the knives... I know she's already looking for a paring knife... so I'll try to keep you posted... haha I've got 3 blogs to do starting in 2 days... so maybe I'll try to post as knifegirlkim on Sunday... also hoping to book a bunch of presentations for sunday and monday... so again... ask me how they went if you don't hear by tuesday ;)
We'll talk to you soon

Sorry Guys... I am a terrible blogger... but as I mentioned on the first blog... there could be many months in between posts...
Well here I am to update my blog once again... because my boyfriend found it and reminded me of it's existence. So... here I am to give you a run down of my beautiful life.
Oh where to start... I guess lets start last January really quick... I was looking through my blogs and thus remembered a few things... 2014 was my year of a relationship with God. and my goodness what a year that was... I'll be honest... I don't remember that deal much after the summer began... so by the end of that year I'll admit my habits began to dwindle and the relationship wasn't as incredible as it had began... but that being said, I think we just got into the groove of the relationship. Which has it's good and bad points... good because it was comfortable, this last year my identity has become Jesus Freak, God's girl, I've gotten back to being comfortable being... Unashamed... Nothing else matters... and it's an identity I'm good with. Bad, because I've gotten comfortable... I've lost the new relationship butterflies in my stomach the world is at our fingertips excitement. And that's a feeling that's hard to come by.
So during the summer... I went to Mongolia, and wrote a short blurb about that so I won't talk too much about that... after Mongolia.... oh man I don't even know what I've been up to... I think it was relatively uneventful... well... I did write a bit about my adventures with Vector as well. So it's been alot of dreaming big, becoming a better me, and continuing to grow a stronger relationship with the best guy I've ever been able to know. God has been good, and whether or not I remembered my commitment for a relationship with Him, He never forgot.
Well the semester slowly ended, again nothing super eventful, but relationships continued to be strengthened, values continued to be challenged. Became Assistant Manager for Vector Marketing, they were interested in making a District Manager this coming summer and honestly... it's a pretty good deal... Got to go to Toronto for a leadership conference, and then to Olean NY for a tour of the Cutco factory. It was a pretty amazing experience, And it got me pretty excited about the Vector Opportunity. as a result I'm going to help a friend open up a Branch Office this coming May, I might continue throughout the summer, but at least for May I'll continue to be assistant manager. that brings us up to Christmas, finals over I headed home towards family and practicum. Had a delightful visit with my grandparents on the way home, drove into my parking lot at home and my car refused to start. Between God and that precious vehicle of mine... I am incredibly blessed... There were enough troubles with my car before I left for Christmas, the fact that I survived and made it home was incredible... and having my vehicle wait until I got home so I could have family help me fix the car was a miracle.
After Christmas my car continued to have issues, but nothing we couldn't fix, well... hopefully they stay fixed anyways... ;)
Practicum began and can I just say it was a fantastic practicum? Putting into action the things I love the most... Dreaming big, working as a team to achieve incredible things, and letting God use us as Lifeboat 14... To do what it takes to reach anyone we possibly can... Set goals and do what it takes to dream even bigger and expect God to help those goals come true. back to a previous post about Jonathan and his armor bearer... Live boldly, do bold things. If God is with you, then you can attack the enemy with confidence knowing God will bless you. Sometimes I think He blesses the true faith with or without His guidance, simply because you trusted and expected Him to bless you.
Practicum underway I got talking with a dear friend, man... this is where the great part starts and I don't know even know what to say... I have a boyfriend... crazy about him for years... finally let him go and decided to move on with my life, and well... we finally got to close to the right place at the right time. got talking and realized this whole being friends thing... just wasn't going to happen... I did try... for so long... but it just wasn't going to work... my goodness... I can talk about a lot of stuff... and I had a great plan to just let it all go, but i can't... the truth is... He's incredible...
God's timing is always the best. He's brought 2 crazy kids together and it's the best miracle I could have ever asked for.
So, for all those reading... keep posted for the many adventures yet to come... maybe I'll get sappy and talk about it lots... but for now...
Relationships are great, friends & family & romance...
Work, well for now it's great but it's pretty much all up in the air...
God, good all the time, and I definitely couldn't ask for a better friend...
Me, happy as a clam :)

Hey guys, wow it's been awhile eh?
Life has become chaotic and scattered thats for sure, well let me try and catch you up on some of the awesome things that have been going on!
Well First you got a brief overview of my trip to Mongolia. Sadly I believe thats about all you will hear about Mongolia. I will try to get my schedule figured out so I can spend some time each week working on the blog and maybe one week I will have nothing more to do and can go back to more about Mongolia :)
This summer when I got back from Mongolia, I went back to work. Here's where I get to tell you about my new job. Started working as an Independent Sales Representative for Vector Marketing. Weird eh??? Pretty sure the 1 place I would never have thought I'd work... Marketing... as in... Sales... But seriously, I love my job. I don't know if you guys have heard of Cutco or not, but I get paid to show people the best product in the world, and work with some of the best people.
So what is this job??? Well Cutco is a brand of high quality kitchen cutlery. (Seriously look it up, book a demo with me! I'll tell you all about it, just shoot me an email @ knifegirlkim@gmail.com ;) get paid per demo so I'd love to chat, otherwise we've got a website but I can get you better deals than the website so talk to me first ) (Sales pitch of the day)
But here's the cool part, I'm doing alright selling knives, it's going pretty good really... definitely not the top and not putting as much work into it as I should... but my manager is awesome, and he pushes me, reminding me to make the calls, get the job done, and just rock it. Awesome right? Totally. It's not about the knives, it's about the lives. One thing I'm learning... Dream big, no one cares where your at, it's all about where you will be in 5 years... 10 years... 50 years... No I'm not saying what you do now doesn't matter because you won't be there in 5, 10, 50 years... but that's just the point! Where are you now? Do you like where your at? Probably not. I mean I'm sure there are many people content with where they're at. But are they truly happy about it? Is there something you wish you could change? More money, More friends, more peace, less chaos, less worry? Is your life exactly where you want it to be? When you look ahead in your life 5,10,50 years... would you be happy where you're at? Probably not. I mean people can only do the same thing so long... even if it seems great, we all know it could be better. So what are you doing to make yourself better?
Working @Vector I've come to realize there are so many people who honestly believe their is no room for growth, and even if they wanted it... it's not possible. This is life and thats all there is to it. But guys, there is so much more. And I know... many people are probably reading this saying... "oh no here she goes off her rocker again..." maybe your right... But seriously, it doesn't matter who you are, what you believe, whats going on in your life... You should never stop growing... Never stop being better than who you are now.
Here's the bad news though... It's going to be a long and painful process... becoming better and changing is never easy... First their's social influences... "Why are you different, You don't do this anymore, whats going on" and really... wouldn't life be easier if you just didn't have to answer questions...??? Truth. But the people who ask, they care, and when they see your happy... trust me... Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind. Let the ones that mind leave... God puts so many people in your life... but He puts them in your life at the level your at. If someone wants to stay in your life... make sure they work for it. Don't ditch them for something better... but don't let them keep you from being the person God intends you to be either....
Life has become chaotic and scattered thats for sure, well let me try and catch you up on some of the awesome things that have been going on!

But here's the cool part, I'm doing alright selling knives, it's going pretty good really... definitely not the top and not putting as much work into it as I should... but my manager is awesome, and he pushes me, reminding me to make the calls, get the job done, and just rock it. Awesome right? Totally. It's not about the knives, it's about the lives. One thing I'm learning... Dream big, no one cares where your at, it's all about where you will be in 5 years... 10 years... 50 years... No I'm not saying what you do now doesn't matter because you won't be there in 5, 10, 50 years... but that's just the point! Where are you now? Do you like where your at? Probably not. I mean I'm sure there are many people content with where they're at. But are they truly happy about it? Is there something you wish you could change? More money, More friends, more peace, less chaos, less worry? Is your life exactly where you want it to be? When you look ahead in your life 5,10,50 years... would you be happy where you're at? Probably not. I mean people can only do the same thing so long... even if it seems great, we all know it could be better. So what are you doing to make yourself better?
Working @Vector I've come to realize there are so many people who honestly believe their is no room for growth, and even if they wanted it... it's not possible. This is life and thats all there is to it. But guys, there is so much more. And I know... many people are probably reading this saying... "oh no here she goes off her rocker again..." maybe your right... But seriously, it doesn't matter who you are, what you believe, whats going on in your life... You should never stop growing... Never stop being better than who you are now.
Here's the bad news though... It's going to be a long and painful process... becoming better and changing is never easy... First their's social influences... "Why are you different, You don't do this anymore, whats going on" and really... wouldn't life be easier if you just didn't have to answer questions...??? Truth. But the people who ask, they care, and when they see your happy... trust me... Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind. Let the ones that mind leave... God puts so many people in your life... but He puts them in your life at the level your at. If someone wants to stay in your life... make sure they work for it. Don't ditch them for something better... but don't let them keep you from being the person God intends you to be either....

So, I'll try and have a run through of my trip to Mongolia, but so far class and work and catching up has been a priority, but for my class we did have to do a write up for a newsletter that the school Starting Point Life University sends out... and as a quick word about Mongolia, let me send you what I'm sending them....
Amazing Love
In the month of May I had the
opportunity to join Starting Point Life University for 2 weeks. It was an
absolute blessing. I’ll be honest, when the opportunity arose to go to
Mongolia… I was excited, I wanted to go and it would be fun, mission trips generally
are. However as the time got closer, I wasn’t overly excited about the trip. It
cost money which I don’t have, it was a whole lot more stress to deal with
getting prepared for the trip, between vaccinations, raising money, getting
paperwork in... let’s just say, everything was last minute and what didn’t keep
me from going, was done on the plane or … (don’t tell the professor)… done on
the fly while there or finished when I got home. School, work, study
tour/mission trip, friends graduating and moving one, I was stressed trying to
get everything done. But I will say, I had a fantastic time. It wasn’t the
holiday I wanted. Ok, it was a holiday and I didn’t want it. Bills were piling
up, things needed to get worked out, and usually a quiet get-away was exactly
what the doctor ordered. But this time… I just wanted to get things sorted out.
I told God to send someone else, but He said “nope, I want you to go” Alas…
when He says go… sometimes there’s just no getting out of it unless you want to
deal with some guilt trips, and I swear there’s days when I feel him glaring at
me. (with love of course I assure you, I don’t think I’d be alive if He glared
with anger and not love) So, I went the stress never left. I wish it had It
would have been nothing but pure peace if it had. But despite the stress, the
students and staff at SPLU made me feel like I was home and I could stay there
forever. We shared stories of what God has done in our lives, I’ve realized a
lot of my stories I’m fighting Him every step of the way… glad He still loves
me despite the trials I put Him through. But one thing always rings true… I’m
forgiven, because He was forsaken. I’m accepted, He was condemned…
We had
a week of prayer while we were there, the theme was My story, His story, Our
Story. Our theme song… Amazing Love. I don’t know how it all fit together… the
week was a disaster as far as programming goes, I got placed in organizing
duty… but it wasn’t what I organized, it was pure chaos. One more thing to add
to my already annoying stress level. The theme changed from the beginning to
the end. But in the end, everything came together into something absolutely
beautiful. I wanted it to be a sharing of our testimonies, how we should share
stories with the world to tell what the Lord has done in our lives. How our
story shows what He has done… Folks, I had it all wrong… while I was trying to
organize a journey of our lives with Christ, He was busy working on the program
and creating His story. The truth is, it’s not about our story and how He fits
into our lives. It’s about His story, and how He’s given everything so that we
can join Him in His never ending story.
I still
can’t tell you why He wanted me to come on the trip, but I can tell you that
I’m glad He did. I can tell many stories about the experiences I’ve had during
my time at SPLU, but the thing I love the most, is how interconnected everyone
becomes when we make Him the author, and director for our life story. Because
it’s not about My story, it’s not even about His story… It’s about Our story,
His and Mine together, and the joy we find because He has stepped out from
behind the narrators position, and brought us all into something absolutely
incredible. He’s brought us, into the story of His Amazing Love.

Happy Easter!
Happy Good Friday Everyone!!!
Oh my goodness guys! K, so I just had a fantastic evening :) God is so good! Always! Forever! and He always has been :)
Humanity is so incredibly selfish aren't we? Always asking for everyone to treat us the way we want to be treated? Always expecting more, and more, and never giving back? I know we can definitely be the other side as well... Always giving, always helping, always loving and never asking or getting anything in return. And it can definitely wear you out when things aren't balanced eh?
Well let me admit, I'm one of the most guilty! of which one? haha both! I give too much, and I don't expect anything in return. But as a result, the time always comes when I realize I've gotten nothing and I'm wearing down... so afterwards... it's gotta be all about me. Forget the rest. I'm living things my way...
Well I got this new app for my laptop... yay windows 8! haha we get apps on the computer now to :P But it's a verse of the day app. and it's great! I have it so my login screen is set to a new verse every day. It only switches when there's internet, so first time in the morning I always get the old verse from yesterday... but today, when I turned my computer on the 2nd time... it had my new verse! I was praying God would do something to fix the situation, cause I was just stressed, wishing people didn't need me so much, or would just leave me alone for a few minutes so I can refocus myself cause I wasn't overly thrilled with things at that time. Well as I turned on my computer... this is the verse that came up:

Well as I turned on my computer... this is the verse that came up:
"But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on Him,
and by His wounds we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5
Ok, Ok... I'll stop complaining, here I am people are just stressing me out... and you gave everything... pierced, crushed, and by Your wounds I am healed... Lord, kind of a slap in the face eh? You're pretty great.
Well vespers came and went, service was amazing... really good skit about a party kid getting into a car accident while drunk... then his brother gave his heart that the party kid would live... leaving a letter telling him to shape up, start over, and get back that girl he treated so bad but stuck around for 2 years, till she had enough... Well scene 2... they were back together and talking about how she forgave him and how grateful he was. scene 3, he got baptised :) found God's incredible love and started over. Really good. afterwards... 2 real baptisms :) then I got to have a quick afterglow with a couple friends, till they left and my wonderful cousin came to join me for the last hour before we got kicked out cause the pastor's wife wanted him home. I mean it was only 11pm... lol but I went for a walk after, to sing, enjoy life and to pray...
It was great, In Christ Alone, Amazing Love, and I'm sure another one or 2 were enjoyed. And finally I decided to leave... it was time for bed. God is so good! I was just in a state of pure joy, thanking God for the opportunity to be in a relationship with Him. To be His forever, to have been His always. And I began to think... What does every love story talk about??? Love at first sight, friends becoming lovers, the pursuit, God's got it all guys, He loved you the first moment He saw you. He strives for a friendship, for you to be yourself and to have an incredible friendship that will never be broken. And He chases, as you bolt, He runs full speed ahead till you run out of breath and let Him in. But best part? He took the bullet for you. True love would die for their lover.
Wow... I know you guys probably know this already... but think about it... If the person you love, your husband, wife, girlfriend/boyfriend, brother, sister, cousin, best friend... that person that is closest to you... He died so you didn't have to. When you were on life support... He gave his life so that you could live... I have to say guys... it hit me tonight, so hard. What an incredible blessing! I pray it never stops hitting me so hard I break down...
I don't know if you've seen this video or not... But if this doesn't break your heart... you need a heart transplant... God's done it for you once... let Him do it again...
If it does break your heart... Think about it... You're the girl. God saw you dead and dying... and He gave it all...
"Please don't let anything happen to my daughter!
I have money, I have a house, take it all!
My daughter Can Not Die!
Take my blood!"
And He took bread, and when He had given thanks,
He broke it and gave it to them, saying,
"This is my body, which is given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me"
And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying,
"This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood."
Luke 22:19-20
My prayer for you this easter... Is that His sacrifice hits you hard. Guys we've screwed up big time... But no matter what the battlefield, He died that we could be free. That we could have life because as far as He is concerned... You Can Not Die! Accept His blood... cause He's given it... For you.

Hey Folks! It's me again ;)
Haven't posted for a while, man life is crazy these days eh? Can I get an Amen??! Talk about Burn-Out, I can tell you now, my last few weeks???... ok maybe my last month or so I have been living on the burner... Saving the world on your own??? Not an easy feat. I don't know which is worse, new parent or college student? Personally I've never been a new parent so I can't really compare but I've heard it's pretty rough... and if it's half as rough as college life can get... we need to make sure we remember those mother's in prayer! Don't really know what that has to do with anything, but for all those parents out there, you chose to live our life on the burner whether knowingly or not, but your children will thank you for it someday! (FYI... to my parents, that I know for at least a year did some college and kids, and work!!! guys... Thank You :) ) Anywho, back to my original point...
I'm doing a power point presentation on burnout. and I'll tell you, as I was making the slides... something made me see burn-out in a totally new light, and not a good one! but one that hopefully will make me realize what I do to myself on a regular basis and hopefully... hopefully!!! with lots of prayer and practice... maybe someday I'll learn to keep myself off the stove so I don't get sucked towards the heat of the burner...
If you want a good website to learn about burn-out... this one was really good!
Honestly... I gotta admit, I never really new the difference between burnout and stress... but hey, there's a chart! sweet deal! I like charts, and that one seriously resonated with me... I saw my life for what it was, burn-out. I thought I was just stressed, you know working lots, so much homework, trying to save the world one pizza crust at a time and all... but man, I was beyond stress! I was completely at the max!
Quick symptoms of Burnout
- Every day is a bad day
- Caring about your work or home life feels like a total waste of energy
- You're exhausted all the time
- The majority of your day is spent on tasks you find either mind-numbingly dull or overwhelming
- You feel like nothing you do makes a difference or is appreciated
Ok, so kinda sounds like Stress... just maybe exaggerated stress eh? Well this is the part I found interesting... I'm not going to go into excessive detail... check out the website, this next part... is from the chart, Stress vs Burnout... This is the Burnout side
- Characterized by disengagement
- Emotions are blunted
- Produces helplessness and hopelessness
- Loss of motivation, ideals, and hope
- Leads to detachment and depression
- Primary damage is emotional
- May make life seem not worth living
Anyone think they're living in burnout? I won't lie, I think to an extent I live on the fine line between stress and burnout on any given day... But my last few weeks... total maxed out burnout! Detachment and Depression? yeah, Loss of motivation, Ideals and hope? yup, pretty much living to survive, forget about ideals and hope it's survival. Life seems not worth living? Well guys, I've got a God that always makes life worth living, without him, I can promise you I wouldn't be here to write this today. But yeah, even I began to feel like there was no point.... If you guys live in Burnout, I'm praying a special prayer for you tonight, cause I know for a fact, it sucks. Big time.
Thankfully for me, one of my class requirements this semester was a solo, in the wilderness. 3 days just me. Thankfully this wasn't like my survival trip, this one I got a shelter!!! Took my hammock and oh my goodness it's wonderful! warmth? my sleeping bag and a blanket was all I need and I tell you I was quite enjoying myself. No food on this trip, the idea is fasting and praying. work things out and figure out how you personally are going to be a leader, and what you need to do to get there. My favourite (ok... I'll be honest it was a toss up between this one and my hammock... but God loves me anyways) item to bring on the trip, the Bible. if there was one thing I did not enjoy about my survival trip last year... boredom... 3 days, just me, and nothing but a knife and a wool blanket... pretty much just suntan and try to get through the time... count down the minutes as the sun moves across the sky... the best way to pass time... try and figure out what time it was ;) but this trip... if I got bored, well hey, lets read the bible! and what a joy it was. But 3 days with my bible in the wilderness to pray and sort things out in my life... was just what I needed! Learned so many things! but we'll save most of the lessons for another day...
For now, learning about the burnout and having time away to think things out, I've realized, we live in a society of burnout, detaching, depression, emotional damage, people don't understand emotions... No wonder people start to believe in survival of the fittest, we live in a society designed to help us survive, and only a few are able to truly thrive... One thing I've learned through my coursework, psych classes, social work classes, leadership and expedition classes... I have so many incredible dreams! dreams to work with youth at risk, to save the world with more than just a pizza, to be so incredibly busy saving people that by the time I'm through... I won't have time to really live... Sometimes I think we live to accomplish tasks, to be the best person, to see the most places, to do everything on our bucket list...
ok for me anyways, I can be very goal oriented, I need to have a mission, to accomplish a task. And when my life is over, I want to see something I can say I accomplished. To say these are the people in who's life I made a difference. but through all of that, I let things pile up... maybe if I can help 5 people today and 5 more tomorrow, get through these 3 books or see these 2 countries, I will feel like I've truly lived, I haven't missed the experiences I could gain. Well I've been reading Last Child In The Woods a book for my class... and in it the author made a really interesting point... We spend so much time trying to cross things off our bucket list, so that we can get a knowledge of everything we can possible learn about... we forget to take the time to really learn about any 1 thing... travel for instance, people spend money flying to as many countries as they can before they are 30, or before they retire, or before they die, but how many know the backyard where they grew up? For me, I spend so much time trying to make sure these 50 individuals are doing ok, that... do I really know how any 1 of them are doing??? Gamers... spend their time trying to beat all the levels, and play every game so they aren't left out.. but how many truly know the games they've just won???
Once upon a time it was a thrilling experience to travel to a new town, a new state/province... But they really knew the land, they knew where their food came from, what to do in an emergency and how to work with what they have. How many of us could say we know where our food comes from... or what is even in the food we eat? We have a general knowledge of everything, but we don't have the basic knowledge of anything...
In all this living on the surface of life... I think we've begun to experience burnout more than ever before. We miss the value, we lose motivation in life. Because we don't know what it's truly about. We've made it about accomplishing tasks, knowing as much as we can in the time we have. But we've lost the community, the purpose, we've lost the simple joy of living.
I'm definitely not saying we should give up travel and go plant a garden. Honestly... that would be awesome. Personally, I'm going to Mongolia in a few weeks... wow guys... that came up fast... anyways... Traveling to new and exciting places, doing fantastic things... that's a privilege we get by living in today. Don't throw away the comforts just because you can. Take advantage of it! Let the spirit of adventure keep you exploring! But DON'T let it take away the purpose of life. Don't let it burn you out. Cause you won't ever be able to truly enjoy life if your constantly disengaging and detaching from it. God gave us so many comforts, and blessings in this life. But use those experiences, the blessings that He gives us to add to our life not our knowledge, Take time to start learning the basics of life. Get rid of the clutter that just sits there adding up to a full but surfaced life. Take a dive into the joys He's given us. Cause guys, when everything's gone and it's just God's love and His word... It's so much fuller and so incredibly rich that it's hard not to know when you've truly lived.
Keep living,
Keep loving,
Trust God Always,
Clear the space between Him and You
And get ready for a life beyond this one, one where you can spend millions of years getting to know your backyard, exploring the neighbourhood, adventuring to far distant places, and never stop experiencing, but always building a deeper understanding. Cause guys, when you die and come to heaven... Who cares if you've seen the Eiffel tower, your going to see God's towers, His Planets! Live the life you have now, but remember, The only thing that's going to matter, is the depth of life you've experienced here and spiritual journey you've travelled. When you get to heaven, that's when the real learning begins.
God Bless!
