Well, I can't say it any other way!!!!.... Today was my first day of class. I have been anticipating our life to get CRAZY!!!... I've been calling it the craziness, in fact. Juggling everything was going to be more difficult than ever!... I have often wondered why in the world God called me to this--going back to school, becoming a nurse--at this moment in my life, when all I thought I would do was stay home with my sweet kids!... But I was challenged not too long ago to try to think about the "bigger story" going on! So, I've been trusting that God's "bigger story" was more important than my ideas of what our life should look like right now! In that, God continually provides--he has for the past three years when I started going back to school!! This particular semester, I was more nervous than ever before! However, with friends and my awesome, supportive husband we had things worked out as best we could! My wonderful sister, Lettie, would watch the kids Monday while I was in class from 12:30-1:45, and then Shane would come home early for my class that began at 4:00. Then on Wednesday, when I have the same schedule, my friend Jackie would watch the kids at 12:30. So, that was the plan... Not to mention, I was pretty nervous about my 4:00 chemistry class!... So, today I went to my math class at 12:30 to find out that I don't have to attend class except for two days the whole semester!!!.... The midterm and the final! So, now, instead of picking Zion up from preschool and then scarfing down lunch in the car and spending a few minutes together before taking him to the babysitter, we can actually go home and be normal!! It may not always work like this for these next 2.5 years, but this semester, thankfully, the Lord worked this out for us! And also, I have a great chemistry teacher!! My chemistry class no longer intimidates me!!! I'm just thrilled about all of this!!! God is good, and I just wanted to share His faithfulness in my own life today!!!... Feel free to comment and share your own stories!! God's love and grace to you all!....

Isn't God amazing! He always knows what His children need.. all the time..He does provide for us and He will always remain faithful..NO MATTER WHAT! I'm encouraged by you constantly 'listening' and staying 'obedient' to Him! I love that you give Him all the Glory, and you continue to trust in Him! Thank you God for answered prayers..and allowing Sara to go to school and be home with her children! Amen & Amen!!
Oh I'm so, so glad that things worked out this way for you. I love that when we trust God, he always gives us more than we were expecting. What an incredible blessing for you!
WOW! I love that you always take the time to tell God's great stories in your life! Sara, the way you live reminds me of a verse: "May those who love your salvation always say, 'The Lord be exalted!'" You're one of my very favorite people! Love you!
This is a blessing for you and your family. I know that this is one of your answered prayers. And I admire how you always turn things over to God. This is one of my personal struggles.
I'm one of those who worry, worry, worry, oh & then pray. When I should immediately pray, pray, pray.
I always say that things happen for a reason and that God ALWAYS has a hand in things.
