Back to college for the final year

I can't believe it! This year will be my last year at Pellissippi! I am in awe of how God has managed all this for me. I must share this:
     Two days before I was to start Pellissippi, I was told that I was dropped from my hybrid psychology class. I was sooo disappointed. Since the study would greatly help me with my major, I was greatly looking foreword to it.  All classes that I could attend were closed, and the ones that were open were on days I would really not be at college. Out of faith I applied to two closed sections and attended one of them. After talking to the professor and going back and forth between advisors along with people helping me, I finally had to go the head department. Three times during the talk I was rejected, but when I explained there were eight seats in the room that were unoccupied and nine would have been had I sat in it, his attitude changed. He signed it, and I walked out wondering "what in the world just happened?" Then I knew what happened. Breathless, I mean breathless I went to the counter which would complete the add in. At first confusing started and I started to be reject again. But then suddenly I was accepted and entered into the program. What happened was the hand of God moved on my behalf. I know it. To be so closely rejected for good at least for the semester, and then suddenly have a heart changed...nothing could be more obvious   to the fact that God was moving for me. Simple prayers have been answered for me this week, and I have been in awe over the simplest prayers completed.
     This semester is going to be crazy busy for me. But it is worth it. I know that I know that I know this is the exact time, place, and position where God wants me.  It will be so worth it no matter what comes my way. I just have to remember that when I am in the "throws" of homework, work, and other social things.  :)
Isn't God SO good? Not just for answering my simple prayer or for looking out for me, but just being God? Hmmm...I am falling deeper and deeper in love. He so good!

This morning as I tried to leave all three dogs where giving me the give me attention attitude. Keegan who normal obeys at the first three commands promptly laid down in the gravel in FRONT of my car, his ears laid back when I called him. I tried to pick him up, but with my shoulder already hurting and He being 80 pounds no such thing happened and went instead to get the leash. The other two were like in la la la land. When I finally manage to put Keeg on the porch he broke loose and then the other two slid underneath garage door. When I put the leash on Keegan, he slide out underneath his collar whimpering all the way. When he was freed He laid full stretch on the road. I clipped back his collar cooing at him all the way. One thing I've learned with my baby, the more the voice has stress in it, the more he resistances unless of course you just get full blown angry at him and then he just whimpers and goes between the legs give me the "I'm sorry mommy," look.

Sorry my photograph is blurry, it is taken with my phone. But this is Keegan, my "baby"
 Sigh...I wonder if this is any where close to being a "mom"?

Blessed season




My last year of college is fast approaching. Can you believe it? Honestly I do not know what to think. I am excited...but not scared for once. One step closer to God's dream for me. Oh...I know it could be changed an in instant, everything whoosh out the window. Heaven forbid I could lose everything regarding to the dreams He's given me. The strange thing is, I'm A okay with that. If I am forever teaching the kid's in church and seeing them prosper far beyond me that I have accomplished a feat that is worthy. If I never become famous, but my next door neighbor knows my name than I am learning to be content with that. I don't have to reach multiples, but I DO have reach at least one heart. It is my mission to show Christ in whatever I do nay it is my LIFE.
       At this moment I am listening to two little girls who are staying with us this week. They are giggling and laughing. I am honored to be in their presence. This chance doesn't come but once in a blue moon. I get to love on them and encourage them...and to my intense delight dote on them. If I ever do marry and if my father blesses me with girls, I dearly hope they will be like these girls. On fire for the Lord, and a joy for whoever crosses their paths.
       This home will feel very much silent when they leave. I am NOT looking foreword to that. During this short season of a week, I have grown very selfish in wanting to hear them laugh. I'd do almost anything to keep their innocence and their laugher. It is music to my tired ears.
        Our home is being awaking from a dead sleep. Music is ranging throughout this home. And we are gaining power and strength. To all who enter this home, there will not just be peace but added strength to you. The God within us is drawing us closer and closer to Him. Just as in Narnia  "Aslan is on the move" Well....God is mightily on the move. No longer are we suppressed and kept silent, the bonds have been broken. They will remain broken forever. The gates have been swung open.
