Here is my journey to find out what makes me unmistakable, what brings me joy... and to release the thoughts in my head.

Back to the grind

Well, I did it.
I jumped in feet first.
Back to school, and wondering...
What am I doing???



Actually, I signed into both my classes. (My courses are online. If you think this makes it easy, I will have to disagree at least when it comes to the work load.) I think my Psych class will be okay. I am terrified of Statistics. And, unlike Algebra, my mom did not have words to soothe my soul. YIKES!!
I know there are those out there that speak the language of math. I am not one of them. I can only say, I hope I pass, and get this out of my way....

In other parts of my life, things are okay. We are making the move to invite our future daughter-in-law to come to the states to stay with us until Nate is safe and home again. Where she lives is frightening with terrorist attacks. We worry about her safety daily. I hope that we will be able to provide a good place for her to stay, and that things will work out for the best. Any and all prayer in this regard would be appreciated. :)

Oh, and for those that wonder about my Brian. Things seem to be going a bit better. He is seeking other friendships and is beginning to be more open. For those that know us personally, you would not believe this... Well, maybe you will. I got 2 bags of Freecycle clothes, and Brian took at least 7 t shirts of varied color (even a red one) and 6 pairs of blue jeans. This is big stuff folks. Each step is a new one. If you know Brian, he will not like that I posted about him in this way, so please, do not mention it. Thanks. :)
Well, I should go and get my Statistics reading started while it is quiet in here.
Have a great day!

Brain sounds like he is doing well! That's good to hear! :) I will be praying for Nate and your future daughter-in-law. I too am not a math person, so I'll be praying for ease and statistical math success! :)

Brian and red shirt do not go in the same sentence! What a growth for him! I will be praying for Colen. Her journey is a long one. She is blessed to have you as her future family.

Praying too that you survive statistics. Just like all things you do, I know you will give it your best shot!

Good luck with your classes! I'm like you; I HATE math with a passion -- and one of my best friends teaches it, lol (and my dad studied it in college). And I'll be praying about the safety of your future DIL and her transition in your home. =)
