A Student - Me???


The writing juices have not been flowing lately. Actually I have been reading so much that I am on information overload (good information overload).

We are preparing to begin our Women’s Bible Study. This year we will be starting in September and so there has been lots of preparation for this. Also, in a month my daughter, Angie will be flying, once again, to Pennsylvania.

In the midst of all this I have decided to start school – yes, school! A year ago, when I attended my first Women Discipline Women Conference, something happened to me. Something was stirred within me and hence, this wild ride into going to school has begun. It has been an interesting thing – from the application process, to the assessment test, to the student orientation, etc. There have been times that I shake my head and think, “this is crazy!” There have been apprehensions, doubts, questions, and on I could go, but somehow God continues to lead me on this direction. I also have wonderful family and friends who have been encouraging and lifting me up in prayer. Thank you all!

Yesterday I went to get my “Student ID” – the feelings are so crazy. Thank God I am not to rely on “my feelings”. Once again I think, “This is crazy!”

On July 6, 2009 I read the following on Sue Cramer’s blog:
Dare to Dream Big!
If your dreams don’t scare you…there’re not big enough! (Hab. 2:1-3)

So here we go. All I have is today; tomorrow is in God’s hands. Don’t know what or where all this will take me, but I know that God is My Good Shepherd and He will not lead me a stray.
