Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand
I started out my day with a whole heap of things to do to finish up my responsibilities from last week. First of all, I got dressed and escaped my apartment to avoid the scheduled fire alarm. When I reached the central office, the fire alarm went off inside, helping me remember that the drill hadn't been scheduled for my building after all. Having failed to avoid alarms of any sort, I set to work gathering supplies for further hall decorations and a giant tiki mask, the latter of which to be used for the Hawaiian luau party thing we're throwing on Wednesday.
I worked a good three hours on that stupid mask (I'm apparently very slow at arts and crafts), and then, after I went to just two last hours of training, finished my hall theme, "BE AWESOME."
My goal in choosing my simple theme was to encourage the residents that, no matter where they come from or who they are, they can accomplish their dreams and goals and become the kind of person they desire. It's a simple truth that should banish many of our own doubts and fears away, that should encourage us to take risks and make chances. I saw that a couple of times yesterday among my friends, where an apparent impossible hurdle was successfully leaped. True the verse at the top of the page. We are not alone.
