School

Back to school....back to school....I can hear Billy Madison signing that as he was headed back for school. Luckily for me I don't have to back to K grade! I have felt the desire in my heart to go to school ever since I was in the Navy and when I got out and went I really did enjoy it but the realities of life set in and I had to take care of my family...shocking I know.

A few months ago I heard the Lord tell me that was my inheritance. It was there for me and all I had to do was take it! Everything else in the world would say that I don't have enough time or to be lazy and do it when it was a better fit. Funny how the Lord doesn't care what the world would say.

I love that. I cherish it. It really makes me feel and understand that he is my covering. He is in control. Thank goodness....it would be much too tiring to try and figure life out on my own.

Updates

Wow...long time. I really had good intentions for starting this blog but obviously that didn't work now did it. Essentially, unless this is part of someones job, or they really dig writing, then it becomes more of a task to blog then fun and inspiring. Anyway, my last post: July 29th! Who doesn't have a solid 3 months in between each post?


Lots going on. Charissa, Noelle and I just got back from vacation; pumpkin patch, rock climbing, Shamu @ SeaWorld, Life Bible College (doesn't sound like a good time...I'll explain later), shopping, food, sweets....and on. This was really our first "Family Vacation" where we took time away from everything and everyone and were able to do things just the three (or 4 depending on how you look at that). It was only 6 days in all but it was so refreshing!

2 Different Updates -- Both fun. First, Charissa is having a boy! Our little guy (whose name is about 98% solid) will be here in February! When we went to sleep last night I was able to feel him moving around and around....what a blessing! I love how the Lord gives us these precious moments in life where you just know that He is real and that He also wants to bless us!

The second update is that I am back in School. Last week I was accepted into the Degree Completion Program at Life Bible College. The program is pretty sweet. All online. 18 Months. 1 Class at a time for 5 weeks each. Simple. It will take a lot of work but to me that is much easier to handle then 4 classes at a time for 12-15 weeks...yuck! I'll be done in May 2010. Noelle will be almost 3 and our boy will be about 15 months. What will life look like then?
