Perhaps. And yet the logic still applies. As long as you can get something for the least effort possible, it's unlikely that you will put in more effort for the same result. This is especially true when it comes to relationships. The amount of physical contact you have before marriage should be limited for your own self-worth and for the prevention of pregnancy.<br /><br /><br />When it comes to relationships, you cannot give yourself cheaply or freely. Of course physical contact is important in relationships, but you don't need to rush anything. If this is a relationship that's going to last, you have plenty of time to get there. If you're dating a God-fearing-and-abiding man (and <i>you</i> should be!) then he is not going to ask you to do anything God speaks against. Even if he's not a Christian, if he's a decent person, the kind of person you want to be with, he won't ask you to go against your own values for something that can wait.<br /><br />You show how much you're worth by how much you allow. If you think a guy can get all of you without putting in any <i>real </i>effort, then what you tell him is that you think you're only <i>worth </i>his scraps of effort. That all you need to be satisfied is one date. A movie ticket. A bottle of wine. That you think that anything more is too much in exchange for what you're giving him. And that's simply not true.<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"><i>What you must compromise to get, you must compromise to keep.</i></blockquote><i><br /></i>And how you start a relationship sets the tone for how it's going to proceed: what you must compromise to get, you must compromise to keep. You get him through your body, you're going to have to keep him with your body; you're going to have to keep giving up pieces of yourself without getting enough back, and then how are you going to make your scraps meet? We've been through this. We started off in a wrong way, and when we wanted to turn things around, to get on the right path, he wasn't down for it. Why? Because the way I got him was how I was going to have to keep him. (I thank God I had the good sense to let that one go.)<br /><br />You set the limit, the ceiling for a relationship with what you allow. And the man will often think that as long as he's hitting that ceiling, he's doing right by you, according to what <i>you </i>established. If you're setting your ceiling sky-high, that's fantastic! But if you're giving them low ceilings, you're not going to get a skyscraper. It's like painting a line around your cup and wondering why you're not getting any more than that line. Of course you're not! You've set your limit! Keep your limit low and you'll always be thirsty, wanting more, and being bitter that you're just not getting enough. Don't be afraid to let your cup runneth over!<br /><br />Think about it selfishly, if you need to: enjoy the pleasure of being <i>dated</i>. Enjoy the butterflies of getting ready for him, of driving somewhere special; savour the experience of talking to each other, and telling that hilarious joke for the first time and seeing their eyes light up; revel in the tension, in light touches, in short glances. Do romance Korean-drama style. Take it slow. Don't be afraid to say no. The most heart-fluttering things are the small touches, and we cherish them all the more. There's no need to race through life.<br /><br />Treasure yourself. Know your worth. Set your ceiling in the clouds and <b>wait for the man blessed by God with the wings to reach it. </b><br /><br />Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08914748820488279846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672073198630999619.post-12359561268445122892015-12-31T12:11:00.000-08:002016-01-05T10:23:11.007-08:00Has God Ever Not Made a Way?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVi_64Sf6jA/VowKCMkeuqI/AAAAAAAAAII/Trw4xuaQFoI/s1600/p.txt.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVi_64Sf6jA/VowKCMkeuqI/AAAAAAAAAII/Trw4xuaQFoI/s320/p.txt.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>One thing I read once that has had a huge impact on how I think about God's abilities and generosity in my life is this: has God ever not made a way for me?<br /><br />When I think about it, the answer is no. God has also provided for me and made a way for me to get through the troubles and trials I'm experiencing; and I experienced that same love again today.<br /><br />Because I'm working next semester full-time for co-op, I don't qualify for OSAP. I hadn't expected not to receive even a little financial aid, and so my budget for the fall semester used up all the OSAP and earnings from that semester. The problem came when I realized I had January rent (and possibly February rent) to pay without any funds. Luckily I realized this in November before I spent all my money, but at the end of December I still found myself missing half my rent money.<br /><br />So I prayed. Albeit, this was not the first thing I did; I talked to my friends, my family about my problem before realizing I should turn to God and pray for His help with this. I still had two checks to come in but when they didn't come in when they should have, I panicked. Whenever the concern came up, I prayed and prayed and prayed to God to help me get through this - something I should have been doing from the beginning.<br /><br />I made rent by two dollars. God came through and provided me the last two checks I needed to pay my rent, even though I didn't turn to Him as my first instinct. That's the mercy and grace of God.<br /><br />So Barbara, if you ever face difficulty, ask:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #692755;">Has God ever not made a way?</span></b></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08914748820488279846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672073198630999619.post-23129085561127811272015-12-31T12:03:00.000-08:002016-01-05T10:24:36.315-08:00Faith Goals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QGVXNLwYGys/VowKV4upitI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/WEXuiy0PMi8/s1600/7088575237_3085785161_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QGVXNLwYGys/VowKV4upitI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/WEXuiy0PMi8/s320/7088575237_3085785161_b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I've been making small progress in growing in my faith, but I feel I can do more. I need to be more active in living in God's Word, listening to Him and minding my heart and my mind. For the past year I've been reading my Joyce Meyer Bible plan every day and trying to embed those words and ideas in my heart. It's worked to varying degrees; some things, of course, stayed more fixed in my mind than others.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I'm bent on conquering, on becoming a God-fearing woman. My weaknesses in faith that I've identified are my wandering mind, my tendency to talk about things more than I pray about them, and my misuse of God's forgiveness. I want to see improvement in these three areas this area.<br /><br /> Here are my goals to grow in my faith this year:<br /><br /><br /><ol><ol><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Attend church regularly on a weekly basis</span></b>: My friend went to church held on campus. I noticed it last year, but I had work during their services so I wasn't able to attend. This semester, because I'm working, I am going to make a committed effort to attending every week. In the summer when I study, I will arrange my schedule so there are no conflicts with church. Unlike last year, I need to prioritize God over school and work.</li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Begin a plan to read through the Bible/New Testament in a year</span></b>: Once I've finished the Bible plan I'm currently doing, that isn't the end. Working through this Bible plan has shown me that there is much in the Bible of which I'm unaware and I find strength in verse. Romans is my favourite book so far, with chapter five, verses three to five my motivation for 2016. </li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Be more aware of God's presence and blessings in my life</span></b>: I have a tendency to complain about issues in my life to my family and friends before I take those issues to God. This is a huge problem. God needs to be my number one recourse in my life, so for 2016 I'm making a dedicated effort to bring all my concerns to him first. Not only this, but to pray about my issues more than I talk about them. I'm also dedicated to praising God for His blessings and forgiveness more and being aware of His Word and will for my life. </li></ol></ol><div><br /></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08914748820488279846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672073198630999619.post-75498721317867417432015-12-30T14:52:00.000-08:002016-01-05T10:51:40.253-08:00Exercise Videos<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CjhYDZZUZHU/VowQXOM59nI/AAAAAAAAAJA/CpCSuL47Wc0/s1600/001-19o310p.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CjhYDZZUZHU/VowQXOM59nI/AAAAAAAAAJA/CpCSuL47Wc0/s320/001-19o310p.jpg" width="248" /></a></div><br />Exercise videos to do.

I've put on at least fifteen pounds since beginning university three years ago and have done little to lose that weight. My thighs have expanded to unsightly proportions of someone my size and my mother has successfully put the fear of roly-poly into me. Health-wise, things are definitely not fantastic, either. I have terrible stamina and endurance and get winded far too easily.<br /><br />The summer was a pretty good time for my overall health and body: I was exercising fairly regularly, eating well, and generally refraining from being a sloth. But then the study semester hit and with it binging on chips, pizza, and the like without any greens in sight. I know I have the ability to do it but I just need to stick to it.<br /><br />For me, I find motivation from actually seeing results from my efforts; when my hair started growing visibly I was more motivated to take care of it. So, I will be purchasing a scale so that I can measure myself and record how my weight loss is progressing. I don't want to focus only on losing weight, but also on eating better, so I will be returning to a strict "treat day, cheat day" schedule. Friday or Saturdays will be my treat/cheat days once a week. The only exception will be birthdays or the high holidays.<br /><br />Here's my body and health goals for 2016:<br /><br /><br /><ol><ol><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Lose five pounds in a month</span></b>: I definitely need to get rid of this weight I've been carrying around, and a month is definitely enough time to make that happen. I will be posting an update at the end of January on this goal.</li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Lose fifteen pounds by March</span></b>: This is as a follow-up to goal number one, with a little more wiggle room. I definitely want to start strong, but I need to be realistic. A March deadline will allow me to lose more or less in February or March with a strong start from January.</li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Finish a workout routine without stopping or cheating by February</span></b>: Blogilates is my go-to for workouts and they are killer! In the summer I pretty much accomplished this goal, so I know I can do it again.</li></ol></ol><div><br /></div><ol><ol><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Drink 1-2 bottles of water a day, or 4 cups a day</span></b>: I need to drink more water, if only for my hair. I need to either buy a water bottle or reuse plastic ones, but this is definitely something that I can do. </li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Eat one fruit a day</span></b>: As a snack, for breakfast, in smoothies, I'm pretty sure I can find a way to incorporate this into my daily routine. I need to make sure I'm buying (and finishing) fruits! </li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Eat vegetables 4-5 times a week until June</span></b>: This is more lax than my fruit goals because I hate vegetables. After June, this will increase to an everyday action. </li></ol></ol><div>Three goals for body, three goals for health, all of which I know I can do. Once I buy a scale, I will provide a starting weight number and hopefully see it decrease in the months to come! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08914748820488279846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672073198630999619.post-78871006658331407132015-12-29T16:18:00.003-08:002016-01-05T10:35:13.749-08:00Life Goals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JwzAEUr2u_4/VowM2v-H7rI/AAAAAAAAAI0/CrAWu7lAwgo/s1600/IMG_4263.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JwzAEUr2u_4/VowM2v-H7rI/AAAAAAAAAI0/CrAWu7lAwgo/s320/IMG_4263.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Work hard, play hard, right?<br /><div><br /></div><div>I'm praying for a successful and abundant life this year, and what I'm planning on doing is to experience more things, say "yes" to more opportunities, and just open myself to more things. I'm twenty years old! All my stories are in the making right now, and a lazy storyteller is a bad one. This year, I'm reading to pick up the pen and begin writing with a passion. I consider this a goals-oriented bucket list, and I'm hoping to be able to say I achieved them all.</div><div><br /></div><div><ol><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ol><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Travel outside Ontario for a long weekend (4 days)</span></b>: My travel experience is very limited. I've only peeked into Gatineau for drinking and work, but this is something I want to do. Eventually I will work my way up to a Europe tour, but for now, I'm hoping to go to Montreal, Prince Edward Island, or Vancouver/Victoria, and see what the rest of my country has to offer!</li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">See the rest of my ballets, and one in Toronto</span></b>: This one is a fairly easy one since I've already bought the tickets ㅋㅋㅋ But it's important to me to have it on the list. I saw the Nutcracker this December and it was just so moving. I have three ballets remaining: Going Home Star (Truth and Reconciliation) at the end of January, The Sleeping Beauty in March, and La Sylphide in April. I'm adding Giselle, performed in Toronto in June as well because I would like to experience it in another theatre, perhaps with my friends here. </li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Save 1500 a month during co-op, 300 a month during summer/study</span></b>: I've been blessed with two co-op semesters and a study semester (during which I'll be working with a higher pay) this year, and so there's no reason I shouldn't have a sizeable amount saved up by the end of the year. </li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Pass the LSAT with a 164 or higher</span></b>: I'm planning to write the October LSAT and this means I have a lot of studying to do. I need to get through two more books by the end of June so that I can then work on answering the questions both quickly and correctly for the rest of that time. A 164 will make me competitive, but my ambitious goal is a 167, God willing. </li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Crochet a blanket before the end of winter</span></b>: Crochet has become my favourite hobby, and I'm working on a blanket right now. I love the idea of snuggling up under a blanket I made myself! </li></ol></ol><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><br /></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08914748820488279846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672073198630999619.post-2425617718906198722015-12-29T16:17:00.002-08:002016-01-05T10:32:27.865-08:00Hair Goals <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5IqIFVjGriU/VowMLZH7-AI/AAAAAAAAAIk/LIyl9xT3qUY/s1600/ab31f62355ec033dfc3dc93e85149473.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5IqIFVjGriU/VowMLZH7-AI/AAAAAAAAAIk/LIyl9xT3qUY/s1600/ab31f62355ec033dfc3dc93e85149473.jpg" /></a></div>My hair journey has been a really tough one but I'm finally beginning to see some progress.<br /><div><br /></div><div>My hair problems first started when I was in grade six, which was when I first went natural; the chemicals from the perm were eviscerating my hair and there were very few options left. I went through it all: braids, weaves, wigs, anything but wearing my natural hair. It was such a vulnerable and insecure time for me, this struggle with my hair, especially since when I looked left, right, and center, all three of my sisters had thriving hair. </div><div><br /></div><div>Any discussion about hair or weaves or anything of the like made me infinitely embarrassed and uncomfortable; I felt like my natural hair, lurking beneath whatever protective style I was using, was a burning secret that I was loathe to have see the light. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've come to realize that God allowed me and is allowing me to pass through these trials for two reasons: in the first, to increase my sense of humility, and accordingly, my pride; and in the second, to teach my patience and to have faith. </div><div><br /></div><div>Up until this point, I haven't really put any dedicated effort into growing or caring for my hair; but in 2016 I'm trying to see a decided change in my life, which this blog will be dedicated to. So these are my hair goals for 2016!</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fDjcSm2tnvk/VoNbZf-pDTI/AAAAAAAAAGw/vHcKR_4gdec/s1600/IMG_4274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fDjcSm2tnvk/VoNbZf-pDTI/AAAAAAAAAGw/vHcKR_4gdec/s200/IMG_4274.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /></div><div><ol><ol><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Grow one inch on my nape every four months (3 inches this year)</span></b>: My nape is my most sensitive area and is only just recovering from the patchy-patch situation it found itself in over the past few years. I think one inch every four months is reasonable, and hopefully I'll be able to see the progress.</li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Reduce shedding and breakage to no more than two quarters (size)</span></b>: Breakage is a really big problem for me, and I think it's because I've grown slack in moisturizing my hair. Lately I've been losing clumps of hair when I take out my weave, when I comb my hair, and when I style it. </li><li><b><span style="color: #692755;">Increase hair shine in six months and maintain for the year</span></b>: My hair is super dull. I can't seem to figure out why and my sister has the same problem. I want to commit to finding solutions to get rid of the dullness and increase the shine.</li></ol></ol><div>I feel like these are fairly realistic and achievable goals for myself this year. I will be doing quarterly checks (March, June, September, December) to see what progress I've made and then I will add or adjust this list as is needed.
