It is that time of year again. Where homework is the grudge on my shoulder and my thoughts are worth lots and lots of time and money.

I spent most of the evening cooking, and wrapping presents which was as far away from schoolwork as I could be = glorious.

Lipstick rules.

Broken thoughts are better :).


I have been panicking on whether or not elementary education is the "right" thing for me. It's mainly the same feeling as when I was about to be married. I am absolutely terrified because of the massive commitment I am making. As I think about it more, I realize that it is okay to be scared and more than likely I'll never be "ready" for anything. Being prepared is one thing, but being scared is really only telling me that I have looked at what is ahead of me and I am beginning to understand the sincerity and time and effort and money and compassion and I realize how BIG of a deal it is. And it is beautiful. And as I lay back and close my eyelids over my weary eyes I say to myself, "This is it; this is what I am called to do."
- and that my friends is how cool God is in showing us what we can do for Him.
