<p><p><p><p><p>Well, I've got another 39 pictures or so to go. But if the ACT continues to be so...silent...then it will probably be sooner. I've still got a basics training tutorial to contribute to the group, though.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Sorry that it's so long. It's a long story...</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I'll PM you the story-it's a bit too personal to go into depth in VM.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Just getting my priorities straight. I know I can't be spending hours of a time here while I'm at school....</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>You mean, in becoming a Psychologist?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Also, I just updated my status at the ACT, I'll be retiring when my album is full because being in college and all will make it difficult to participate.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>*nods* TN is certainly beautiful, a constant reminder of God's creation while I was at Johnson Bible College and Lee University. I'm just sitting here listening to the Aaron Pelsue Band, the worship leader who was there at CIY...bought their two latest cds <3</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I'd say whatever you feel His pull to do, do it. Setting goals is certainly a good way to do it. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>*nods* The very one. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png" alt=";)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I have my roadtest next Saturday! I'm so psyched!</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Not much, I'm home from Christ in Youth in Tennessee now...it was pretty much amazing. God reaffirmed my calling into ministry. I got to watch a new friend get baptized in a fountain. Awesome stuff like that.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Just playing around with my new camera, looking at all the pictures/videos from the trip...glad to be home, and playing around with my new laptop...currently installed with Vista <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh.png" alt="xD" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>And how are you, mon ami?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Awesome. Flat screen TV? Very cool.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>As for me, I got back home from Tennesee last night...I'm just messing around with the pictures on my new camera and playing with my new laptop. (I've really gotta clean it, thing's a fingerprint magnet!)</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>So what's going on, hon?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>The conference I went to was also quite the experience. I'm pretty amped for Christ now! <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Sure, I totally understand that point of view. It's like a cutter, their scars will always remain on their body (even when they've long ago faded) We can't change what's in our past, but we can make good from old mistakes.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>But you've also got to be able to handle being hated. Look to your strengths, and strengthen your weaknesses. If you find something irritating, before posting anything you should think "Will this get me into trouble for posting?" </p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I've got to do that with every. single. one of my posts, trying to avoid infractions and warnings. It takes a lot of effort to stand up when you're known as 'the bad kid' (or whatever) and show that you want that change. It will take time, but one way or another, if you stick to it, the others will see that you're at least trying. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Then you've just gotta keep getting better <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It takes time to redevelop a mindset about things, but I have faith you can do it <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png" alt=";)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>
