WHy, WhY, why and oh yeah... HoW???

After my long weekend, and a lot of reflection about what has been going on in my own life and the lives of those around our country I have asked but only one question, Why? This is a popular question and makes me think of the time when all kids keep asking why until the point that the mom/grandma/dad/ or grandpa says: Because I said so! I have personally been pondering this question and have been perplexed on it for awhile. I have been wondering about the journey and process that life usually takes us on. I have felt a burden, more like a yearning to do more than what I am doing now. I know many people that I have shared this with give me a blank look, but I know what is in my heart. It is this deep feeling that I can be doing more in the realm of children, and education, and life in general. I feel so blessed to be able to have a job and a mind that allows me to be able to do these things.
 Since I have seen Eat, Pray, Love I feel that having a balance of eating well and healthy, exercise for the body, and also spirituality/ praying for the mind has been a great combo of how to live life each day. I feel that for me, I have been led to more pray on a daily basis because it helps me really talk to God and tell him how thankful I am to be one of his children. In church on Sunday and in Sunday School( for adults), our pastor has been talking to us about dreams. Here is a synopsis of what he told us to think about this week, " If you were to be taped, like on "What Not to Wear" and the Lord was to follow you around for a week without you evening knowing about it, would you be walking with him the way you should?" What would be on that tape? What things would we see? " When I thought of this idea, it really prompted me to ask myself Why and How do I live my life each second, minute, and hour of the day? I am trying just like any other person to be the best person I can possibly be. By no means does that mean that I am perfect, because I know that I am not. It just means that I am trying, I am not  just sitting back and letting things go right by me.
