The Right Afterthought
How often we jump with enthusiasm into a project, then fade out as it becomes difficult. Sometimes there's virtue in the second thought, the delayed response, restraint rather than zeal.

That is me all summed up. I am that girl. My college degree? Liberal Arts. I couldn't pick just one thing. I am always latching onto something that interest me, then I go all crazy about it for a week or month, and then I loose steam and fizzle out. My current obsessions...sewing and baking (other than my catholic endeavors). I was actually thinking last night, before I even got this email, that I hope I don't lose steam on my religious studies. Then I remembered though, that there are infinite trains of thought about god and jesus, the bible and existence. I really never get bored of it. I just started to read catholic books recently, but I have always had conversations with god. I have always had a love for church and god. I am hoping...no I AM...going to use my studies in faith and being more christian to enhance my determination and perseverance in other areas, like baking and sewing. Why lose steam? I have so much time, so much life to live and there is no reason why I need to drop hobbies, there should be room in all of us for many joyful activities as well as room to improve in those areas.
