Catching Up

After a little urging from Alysha Thompson, (thanks pal), I have decided to pick back up with this blogging! I sometimes feel like I don't have anything exciting to say because we don't have kids to brag about or fantastic things to share. However, we do have a life, and I guess if you find it interesting, here you go! : )

Things have been great around here. My mom graduated from Hinds Community College last week and I am SUPER proud of her! She has an Associates Degree in Applied Science. Her concentration is Interpreting for the Deaf. She has always been able to sign, but now she has an education to back it up! She is a wonderful woman and I am blessed to have her!
Summer is just beginning! Today was our last day of school with kids! What a relief! This has been a strange year for me, but all in all it was alright! I am taking the bus driver's test on Tuesday. My plan is to use the money to pay off some debt. The hope is to be debt free in one year! That's the plan anyway! : )

On a more serious note, God has been dealing with me lately. Mostly about my pride and "control" issues. I have been so busy with the things of this world, that I have neglected my daily time with him. Of course when that happens, I try to handle issues myself and that just really messes EVERYTHING up! But, He is teaching me. I write all this to urge you to give it to God. All of it. If you are struggling with a relationship, friendship, habit, or just need some peace give it to God. There is nothing HE CAN'T HANDLE! And what a relief it is to know that we don't have to do it! This passage has come to my mind when I try to deal with things in my own will and power! I hope it helps you too! God bless!

"Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened,

and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soles.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light"

Matthew 11:28-30
