The Woodcarver

The other day I watched the Christian movie called, "The Woodcarver". It was a pretty simple movie with simple message. It is about a young man whose parents are going through a divorce. He destroys the church, because he loses trust in the Lord. Along the way he meets Ernest, who helps Matthew and his broken family restore their faith in the Lord. Ernest says the reason why his wife and his self had such a great marriage was because God was the head of their household and He was always in the forefront.

Another lesson I learned came from the part of the movie, was when Ernest had Matthew ask himself, "What would Jesus do?" before Matthew took any action. In any situation in life, asking that question before acting is a clever thing to do. It makes me think of being in situation with a bully. The Lord wouldn't get down to the level of the bully (emotionally speaking), he would simply pray for them and possibly with them. He would show them kindness and love.

I would recommend this movie if you want to watch a simple family movie that teaches the simplest lessons. It is an easily understandable movie for kids'. There is also a prequel, you can watch the trailer here! http://www.christianfilmdatabase.com/review/wwjd-ii-the-woodcarver/

The Beginning of the Rest of My Life...

First of all, Happy New Year! I have made some new year goals, not resolutions. Others' have made resolutions, and while I have problems I would like to resolve, "goals" seem more measurable. I have made it a goal to live a healthier lifestyle. I have made small steps thus far, such as not getting takeout on my way home from school, even though I am morbidly hungry. I have also made it a goal to spend less money. Forbidding eating takeout is a step toward this goal as well. Hopefully, others are making solid steps toward their goals as well.

I have recently started my core classes in my Physical Therapy Assistant program. I have had the chance to meet some great people, and I am hoping that we will all continue to grow together. I am a little concerned with the curriculum, though. I have never had to work that hard in school and my classes now, and upcoming, are going to require more effort I'm afraid. So, I will have to become more motivated. I do have to say that the instructors are quite nice, and funny. They make the classes seem so easy, probably because they know all of it already. It has been hard to work three days a week, if not more. And it looks as if it will only get harder to work and go to school. I live at home with my parents as of this moment, which is saving me a lot of money I do not have, so I guess I don't have to worry too much about working.

One more thing, I have been reading other bloggers blogs, and I am quite jealous at the way they blog. I wish I could acquire some blogging skills. So bear with me, I hope to grow in the world of blogging as well. Any suggestions from those who are reading this?

Thank you for reading,
Namaste, Jessica

Speaking of New Beginnings..

Hello all! I have recently started College, and I do have to say that it is weird. I am not use to such diversity. My previous schools did not have people in wheelchairs, people of various ages, and we only had one person with a mental disability. So, nonetheless, it is very different to be out in the world.

My college goes by the quarter, so it is very weird to think that in just 10 weeks I will be finished with my first couple classes and moving on to the next set. Everything we learn is basically shoved into those 10 weeks and it makes me feel a little overwhelmed to be honest with you. But then again, I am not used to college yet, so I suppose that with a little time, I will be as "in place and organized" as everyone else that has been there for months to years.

I am going to attend to my dreaded homework now, so I will leave you with this quote.

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

Hello!

First blog here at Rambling Woman Blogger! If you are reading this then I am super excited that you are! If you have any suggestions of things I could ever blog about just let me know!

Like my page says, I am not a very good blogger. But I hope I can keep your interest!

I just got hired at a job today! I was so freakin' excited about it when they told me I was hired! I have not had a job in about 2 months so I am finally pumped to get out there again! I am not very excited on the dress code/uniform, but I guess I will live, I have to anyway.

Alright everyone! I will leave you with this quote!

"Sow a thought, and you reap an act;
Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny."
- Charles Reade

Peace. Love. and New Beginnings.
