It's great to be in a fun christian safe environment.  acfya dc had a fellowship tonight at Chika's parent's house.  typically, I'm hesistant to go to get togethers with ACFYA  because I don't feel as though I quite fit in.  for some reason this time was different.  Not only did I have fun, but I felt free to be.  I didn't feel the need to put on a mask

Today was another ACFYA work day.  My super didn't have any tasks for me, so I dedicated most of my day to doing random tasks related to the conference.  On days like this, I wish I could work for ACF simnce I alread do so much work for them ( work I enjoy admittedly)

I went to Small Group again.  It was more a time of fellowship rather than Bible Study (which I'm craving)

What a busy day!! This saturday was the first one in a long time where when I left the house in the morning, I didn't see it again until late in the evening.  Needless to say, I was tired.

the day started with

My SParkPeople fitness tip was to do a little more cardio this week.  They recommended sevralk ways to do that. At first I just brushed off the tip and decided toignore it during my next workout.  However, when I walked into the gym I got a random otivation and ecided why not " Go the distance, push a little harder".  I'm glad I did, because that workout felt really good.  for my warm-up cardio, I did 10 minutes on the Stairmaster at an increased resistance level of 4.  it was soooooo intense.  About 8 min in.  I may not loose 50lbs anytime soon, but I'll be happy and healthy because of the hard work I put in, when at gym.


Thinking about my work-out reminds me of how God wants us to "Go the distance and push a little harder" in our Christain faith.  Imagine the difference, if we read our Bibles a little more each day or week, prayed for more people or issues, showed a little more love to other, or.

I got to see my energy buddles today.  :-)  I love KF they always bring moments of fun and love.  I think F was so shocked to see me after a long time. He responded with a scream, a "No", a hug attack, and tears after being scolded.  LOL.  Kemi was happy to have another play pal and didn't waste much time asking me to play a new game they bought. It's called Matching Ducks or something similar.  While a rather fun game for kids, it's a potentially annoying and loud game for adults.   The ducks constantly move around a pound and quack until there's a winner.  The kids loved the game and both won a round. I was impressed to see F knew his colors so well.  My lil bud is so smart. In my excitement of seieng them I forgoit to pick up my work clothes I left over two weeks ago.  Fortunately between, my clothes and mommy's home thrift store I have enough to last me the next week and half.  :-)

Since I went to visit the kids, I went to the Bally's in Greenbelt for my workout.  WHOA what a diiference from the one on Central AVEnue.  SMH.

Knowledge is power.

had a benefits meeting at work to provide us with overview of our insurance plans.  When I first got email of meeting...knew wasn't going to exciting.  whoa, people used this as " let me share personal tragedy talk show'.  don't get me wrong I don't mind hearing about your diffities and stories, wjen the time is right.  the biggest lesson was know your stuff, be your own advocate.

As my work tasks are picking up, I'm learning that I have to focus more on being thorough.  I'm making stupid mistakes that may have big consequences.  The work is not hard, just overwhelmingly mundane at times.
