Today is a wonderful relaxing Saturday. I have have a ton to do but...I'll see what actually gets done.
I am beginning to feel the need for the end of the school year and welcome it's haste.
Two weeks ago my dad's wife Doris was diagnosed with breast cancer, yesterday she had surgery and is on her way home today. So that is a good thing. Last night and the rest of this weekend I get to hang out with her sons. All 3 of them. They are great. It is like they are long lost relatives but the fact that they are my step-brothers is kinda neat. We are all the same ages too I think we like having brothers like they like having sisters, it is a neat instant bond that is here because we all lost a parent and we all have a step parent.
That is all for...I am again out of words. AHHH SATURDAYS!

So...Liberty
I have been unofficially accepted to Liberty University in Virginia. I am going to get my M.A.R. (Master's in Religion) Seminary is something that I have been thinking about as early as 1998. So NOW, 12 years later, it is finally becoming a reality. I am excited and even better I have a peace about this. I had a desire to go to University of Texas at Arlington for my Master's in Education however, when you don't feel a peace about things you shouldn't go ahead and do it just cause. ( I learned this the hard way.) I am excited about this new venture and will need lots of encouragement and prayer.
The other day someone (my sis) made a comment that really made me think. She said she thought I was a "Church Junkie." If you know this sister you know that she chooses her words carefully so as to make the recipient think. This was no different. Prior to this conversation I had decided that I would go to our Saturday and Sunday Easter services. Saturday so I could relax, and participate as a member in the congregation and Sunday b/c I was singing in the choir and would help lead in the worship music. So as it turned out I am a "church junkie" and I wouldn't have it any other way. That is where my friends are, my faith grows and I can corporately worship the Father. The church, my church, is a place where people/I can go to get fed. It is by no means perfect and neither am I but for me it beats bars, clubs and, I can't believe I am about to say this but, shopping. It honestly makes me sad that others don't have a place of refuge.
Next decision: Bible study I feel like I need to do another study. Not for them but for me. I don't know what though so I will be praying about that as well. We just finished Sweeter than Chocolate a Study on the 119th Psalm and I needed to be reminded of how I can dwell on God's word and He will guide me in all I do. There is still so much that I need to learn. Oy.
Lastly Voy a las Islas Canarias otra vez.
Ore para mi..

Adios

No title yet
I am so tired. I know that I am not near as tired as some moms but wow, my Zyrtec is kicking my tail in addition to my 3 nights in bed after 12:00. I love Jimmy Fallon though. :-)
We finished our Psalm 119 Study today. It was so good in fact "Sweeter Than Chocolate". We learned about so many truths in God's word. I was so proud of how much all of the ladies had learned but most of all I cannot wait to see how they are applying the knowledge of the truths that we learned. I didn't realize how many of the verses I had learned over the years were from Psalm 119. Psalm 119:103 How sweet are your words to my taste; they are sweeter than honey.
119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.
If you haven't studied that chapter, do it, it will change your life.
Well my words are almost finished for today. I do have some funny stories about my students so I will share a few tomorrow.

Really?
Sometimes people baffle me. I was just at the grocery store and there seemed to be a million people in line. No one seemed to be in a hurry so I pull out my phone and read, play, wait. No one is in a hurry except the ladies behind me who have a lot to say about everything. From Tiger to Healthcare and everything in between. Then they mention out loud that they hope the lines go fast. Well, when you go to Kroger at 9:00 at night it doesn't go fast. Today I am thankful for the patience I have because of my first graders and even more thankful for my iPhone.

God is good and Does GOOD
I was talking to a friend yesterday and we were saying how we always have something to say when things are going bad and we pray more when they are too. I haven't written here in while because I haven't had anything to say. The truth is I have a ton to say and I can be "preachy" if I want because this space is mine.
"I'm in LOVE, I'm in LOVE and I don't care who knows it." I have somehow forgotten to tell of all of the GOOD that is happening. God has answered so many prayers and comforted me in so many ways that I am ashamed that I haven't written about it. Not for anyone but myself as a memorial of what HE has done. In Joshua, God had the Israelites mark, make a memorial in the place where they crossed the Jordan both in the river and on it's banks. He said it is so they could tell their children and their children's children the great and marvelous things He had done. So I will write about God's ALL SUFFICIENT GRACE here in this place as my memorial to Him and the things he has done.
But first, since this is my spring break, I'm gonna take a nap. My late night at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo wore me out.

NOT GONNA WORRY...
I stand in awe of who He is. I am excited about the future and nervous about it at the same time. If I trust Him like I know I should then I won't worry. Ok, I am not gonna worry. ok? Right? God will provide. He has provided. He created the WORLD. I do not need to worry or try to fix things. So, I guess I will just pray and rest in Him. His grace is sufficient. He is enough. He goes before me. HE loves me. Phew, I can rest.
