With Ben and my goals in regard to school (and when finals were looming) I begin to question my reasoning's for why we started in the first place. These feelings seem to be prolific whenever mid-terms or finals are approaching (or waiting for that final grade. Sheesh, time does creep!). Hmmmm. I wonder. THEN as I look at the road ahead all I can see are many, Many, MANY years of college ahead. Oh, that sounds SUPER fun. (Sorry, but I'm very sarcastic!)
ADD the fact that we're trying to move to a certain area to enable the kids to attend a certain H.S.......and that certain area is an increase in rent which translates to longer term renting and less savings.
THE solution to this algebraic-life-equation is....PRAY and follow peace and wisdom.
The rest is up to an All Knowing and Loving God who will NEVER lead us astray.
That is when I can rest. That is when time seems to fade and become less of a concern. This is when we look to His face and realise there really is peace like a river.
No matter what life swings at me; no matter if I fail the algebraic test or not; no matter if we get that house in the district we want or not; He is good. He is God. I am His.
This is sweetness and I could not ask for more.

What a sweet and very true sentiment there at the end. The road ahead often seems long and daunting, since we can't see what's over that next hill, but God can! {And I hear ya about the schooling, sista! I did 3 years worth of night/weekend/online classes to get my Masters and a new endorsement while I was teaching full-time...FUN FUN! Ugh. Now my teaching license has expired and I'd have to take at least 2-3 new college courses if I ever want to renew it--SO not looking forward to whenever that time is!}
Katy-I LOVE your positive attitude. You inspire me to focus and cling to the good in others, myself, and dig my heels into GOD. Love you sister!
Life is sweet with Him, no matter what! : )
