Changes

So, I am almost done with my first online college course, I can't believe it. For those of you who don't know, I am taking online classes through Ashford University and should be getting my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education by next November at the latest. I am so excited. I have been wanting to go back to school for a long time and it finally happened. It's hard for me to balance school, work, church, social activities, spending quality time with Robert and keeping up with bills and housework, but I am doing it. It's making me a stronger person. I am learning that I need to rearrange my priorities and that it's ok to say NO sometimes. I don't want to stretch myself too thin or get overwhelmed and stress because then I will get sick and that won't be any good.

God is also showing me a lot about myself through working with children. I have realized that I should control situations, instead of letting them control me, that which doesn't kill me will make me stronger and hard work never hurt anyone. I am also learning that there are times when I just like to be quiet, take a nice, relaxing bubble bath and read a book by myself. I don't always have to be around people and be the center of attention.

I am doing an awesome Bible Study/discussion with some amazing ladies and I am learning a lot about my God through that... My God is my comforter, healer, peace bringer, solace and the list goes on and on. I am so excited about the study and how the Lord is speaking to me and through me.

Choir Practice started back and I LOVE it. There is nothing like singing praises to my God. He is worthy of ALL my praise.

God has also been showing me areas of weakness in myself and allowing me to work through those and become a better person. Realizing what your weaknesses are is the first step.

I know this blog is all over the place and random, but I wanted to share with you what the Lord has been doing in my life and what He has been showing me about myself through His word, others and looking inward.

I am excited about my life and my future. I will keep you posted!! Much love to you all!!!

Three Years later!!

Wow!! I can't believe it's been three years since I have written. I just stumbled upon my old blogs. It's great to look back and see where you were and where you are now. God is so good. So, Robert and I just celebrated our two year anniversary in May. Married life is amazing... hard work, but totally worth it. I am currently working part time at a preschool in Braselton. I am teaching two year olds. It's very challenging, but worth it as well. I love the environment I work in. I can talk about the Lord, my bosses and coworkers treat me like I am a human being and not just an employee.. it's great!!

I am starting classes again in July.. I am doing them online, to get my Bachelor's Degree in ECE. I am really excited. Next goal is to join a gym and lose 10 to 15 pounds... we will see :)

I will write more later... it's 1 a.m. and I am exhausted!!
