iWant.

My mind is racing right now. There's so many questions. So much I don't know or understand. There's so much I want.

I want to be skinny. I want to have lots of money. I want to have a boyfriend. I want to be a stronger Christ follower. I want to have style. I want to go on vacations. I want to be able to buy whatever I want. I want an action-packed summer. I want to do what I set out to do. I want to be popular. I want to be stronger. I want to be sweet to everyone. I want to live a life that glorifies God in all that I do. I want to see new things. I want to be able to draw. I want to complete a goal. I want to have a purpose. I want a storybook life.

I understand that everyone is different and unique. But I don't understand why it has to control our lives. I don't see why some people get to be pretty and skinny and rich and others are stuck being fat and lower class. I don't understand why some people get everything they want, and others have to struggle for what they need.

I don't understand why it is so difficult for me to lose weight and to keep up with my quiet times. I have nothing better to do. Every day almost I am sitting at home doing NOTHING. Its boring. But, exercising is boring to me too. I don't have any specific place I can go to work. I have to stay at home and use what I have, nothing.

I don't understand a lot of things. I wish I did, and I wish my wants could become things I do or have. But they aren't. They are wants.

So, I am setting some goals. I am going to try my best to get a summer job. I am going to lose 40 pounds by the end of summer. I am going to buy cute clothes. I am going to be a strong Christian. I am gonna try my best to have a boyfriend. And I am going to have a wonderful summer. Let's hope I can reach most of these goals.

Good Morning, Hobos.

Hello, dear Bloggians! That is what I shall now call you in reference to people who read blogs. I don't really know either...

So, recently, some ideas and whatnots have come into my wonderful little head.

having to do with Hobos and Mornings. But not at the same time...

So the other day I was watching America's Got Talent and this choir came on. They were from

this homeless shelter called New Beginnings, for veterans. And that got me to thinking, there are

plenty of hobos out there that aren't veterans! And they need help too! SOOO, I was thinking that

I could have a recovery home for homeless people.

Get them cleaned up, give them some food, awarm place to sleep, a church, and help them find a job,

and a suitable place to live or rent. It seems odd, butits a good way to serve, love and lead.

You are probably thinking, "Delaney, you have talked about so many different career opportunities,

what are you gonna do?"

To be perfectly honest with you, I don't know. I am leaving that up to God and I know he will let me know what I am supposed to do.

The other thing that I am actually starting, is a morning workout/routine. I did it this morning, and my day went pretty well.

I wake up, go outside(weather permitting) and I have my Quiet Time, in nature, where I feel closest to God.

Then I stretch.

Then, I walk/jog up and down my hill of a driveway ten times.

Then I do some yoga.

Then I drink some water.

Then I eat!!

Exercising in the morning is good for you, because it gets your heart rate going and kick starts your metabolism.

And having a Quiet Time in the morning helps you feel prepared for the day.

Well, it is late, and I have church tomorrow!

--Love,

Laney.
