Post #89 - The Value of Consistency

I haven't been very consistent lately. It has been over a month since I have consistently written for this blog, which has left me in a state of anxiousness and disarray. This is, after all, a consistency blog!

I recently started going back to school. I still haven't had any luck getting a job, and it can get real depressing sitting around doing nothing, so I decided to go back to school. After I earned my Master's degree, I told myself that I was going to wait a while - at least a year - before going back. But, I desperately needed something to do. 

I started a doctoral program studying Communications that has proven to be very difficult. It's not necessarily hard work... It is challenging. And it is very time consuming. But I said that I was going to challenge myself more and take some risks, so.... I just underestimated how much time and work it would require.

So, some things got neglected. Namely, this blog. I put it aside to make sure I completed my coursework and focused all of my attention on it. But, I was putting God's work aside, which is not a viable long term option. 

So, after about six and a half weeks of attending classes, I am revising my schedule - again. I am working on being both efficient and effective and ensuring that I meet ALL deadlines - even those that I set for myself. I was treating my personal deadlines as if they weren't as important, but they are. I treated them as if they could wait, but they can't. 

I realized that I need to practice what I preach and put God and myself first. I need to make sure that I am making time for us.

And for this blog.

Writing for this blog is really important to me. Through it, I am learning the value of consistency. Even through NOT writing for the blog, NOT posting to it consistently, I am constantly thinking about my inconsistency and learning the value of it. I am also practicing creativity through the blog and increasing my writing skills. 

All I need to do now is get a hold of my time and manage it effectively. And I still intend to get a job, so I better get it together soon!

I can do it, I know I can!! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!
