My favorite class has to be Fiction Writing. It is not just because I get the best grades in that class but it lets me be creative for a purpose. After this class I really think I could enjoy writing short stories for magazines or writing for a television show. The kids are voting TV and movie writing for me as a job, for the sole purpose they would get to hang out on a set all day.
My second favorite class is Multimedia reporting. I like that class because it is forcing me to push out of my comfort zone and learn new things. I get to play reporter too and that is a ton of fun. I was told I need to work on my voice though. I am too soft spoken and I need to be more confidant. Confidence is not one of my strong points, it is up there with grammar and spelling.
The other two classes I am taking are interesting but honestly when I leave them so will any knowledge I may have gained from them.
The girls and I are deep into our year of traveling. We have had 3 separate hotel stays already and I can think of a bunch more to come. We have gotten to enjoy traveling and look forward to that being a part of what ever job God has in store for us.
I got a little God face smack this week, when we were at Disney the lady checking us out was a single mom from Thailand. We got to talking and I told her my story about loosing Gary and going back to school. She made a comment about how nice it must be to have so much help and that she was all alone and she could never go to school.
At first I got a bit perturbed, I thought wait one second, help? I have to take my kids to school with me and they camp outside the door while I am in school. I have to carve out uninterrupted school work time at 3 a.m. after they go to bed. I wanted to say baby I an making this work on my own.
God stopped my thoughts and made me think about the ladies who have proof read my home work the way Gary used too and the friends who have set up new beds and installed broken door knobs. Those are all things that I could not do on my own.
Friends that pick up my girls and take them to meetings so I can have a few hours of peace to actually get something done on my homework. The list could go on and on.
I have Gary's Dad, Mom and brothers who are there for us when we need them and they understand when we are still emotional at family functions.
I have neighbors who are knocking on our door at the slightest hint of something off at the house.
My Mom lives with us some of the time and well I don't have enough space in the whole blog to list the way she helps. We have been without her for months while she recovers from cataract surgery at my sisters. Things are a bunch harder but I think we needed to be able to stand on our own. It will be a blessing though to have her back in a few months.
I am still trying to get comfortable in my own skin, you know looking back I do not think I have ever been comfortable with who I am. I have always said to myself I would be OK if? But God is really pushing me too accept myself for who I am, I am not perfect (far from it) but I am not that bad either. I am going to be entering a work force that is filled with extremely confidant beautiful people and I am going to have to shine a God confidence if I am going to succeed in this field.
At almost 40 I am still such a work in progress. God is the painter of the masterpiece that is my life I just need to stop mucking the picture up and making him have to repaint large sections over and over.
Please be in prayer for us on a couple of things.
My eldest goes in for a biopsy on her neck next week I am praying they can do it in office and not have to take her into the operating room. I am also praying that the biopsy comes back completely benign.
My middle daughters health and some emotional issues that plague my youngest.
Please pray for ridiculous favor for me in my schooling and as I begin to apply for jobs that come up. I have lived comfortably on life insurance for a while now and I need to get a job soon and supplement my income and lean less on life insurance.
