Big day!

Today was a big day for me spirituality. I came forward in church to be baptized. I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. I was afraid I would cry or maybe have close to an anxiety attack, but nothing like that happened. I did forget my zip code when I was writing my address down and my knees were shaking. My new church family was very kind and welcoming.

I have had anxiety about the alter call for many years. I feel more comfortable now. I went to the front during revival service today and prayed as well.The first time I went down two years ago at a different church I was so scared I didn't know what to pray or anything, at that point for me it was just making the gesture of coming forward. So anyone out there who has a terrifying fear of the alter call, it is ok you will and can have the strength to do it.Pray about it and when you are ready just do it, you will not regret it!

I need to make more of an effort to save money. I buy things I don't need to and have wasted money. If I want to move out when I graduate then I need to save more money, that is it. If I don't well I can add more months to staying at home when I graduate and that is the reality of the situation.

My Life's future according to me in High School

So I found my time line from high school. I had to make one in one of my classes junior year I believe. So anyway here are some of the highlights.

1.In 2006 I was supposed to get an apartment with Joann- Didn't happen

2.In 2008 I was supposed to go to China (Hong Kong)- didn't happen still haven't been. One day I will go though.

3.In 2011 I am supposed to get married- I believe I thought I would be finished college by then.I have not and will not finish this year, but that is ok. I will finish in 2012. I also don't plan on getting married any time soon maybe in 4-5 years or so maybe even longer.

4.In 2013 I am supposed to have my first child which I wanted to be a boy. Not happening I am not having a child till I am at least 26 according to me now.

5.Buy a house in 2014 that one may still happen depending on how financially stable I am by then. Just not with children yet or maybe not even a husband yet.

6.I wanted to have three children, 2013-boy, 2014-girl, 2016-girl. Probably will not start a family till 2015 or so.

7.Have a 4th child or adopt an Asian baby in 2023 I will be around 35 then. I don't think I want to have a baby at that age anymore. I will probably be done raising infants at 35, but who knows.

8.Move out of Alabama in 2025- probably move out a lot sooner, hopefully not too far away from my family though or too long just to discover a different part of the country.

9.Retire in 2030- I will be 42.

10.Become a Grandma in 2041 be approximately 53 that is a little young now that I think about it.

Things are different then I could have thought at 16 or 17.
