First day of classes and other thoughts

I work at large university in Lawrence, KS. I bet you can guess which one! Well, today is the first day of classes and I have never seen the campus so alive. It's great to see...so many people making a bold step towards completing a degree and starting a new chapter for themselves.

I know this will be another challenging semester for my husband, Craig. He is taking 9 credit hours and working part time. I pray that this semester will be good for him, that he learns what he needs to and does well in the process. I know her feels bad about not being done with undergrad, but I have always felt that it's not about the destination, it's the journey ..at some point you have to stop comparing your life to other people's lives. This way of thinking has gotten me through some very tough times when I have beaten myself having what "everyone" has. To Craig's Fall 2010 semester I say I love you Craig and you will do just fine.

On a different note. I have been thinking about many issues lately mostly about how I want to live my life, how I can be a better wife, better parent, better friend, have less stress, find a balance between work and home. It seems to me that I have been living my life as a reaction to everything around me. I want to live more intentionally, not haphazardly by the skin of my teeth and barely getting by. I am pretty sure I am on the right track. I joined an amazing church, not only that I am learning more and more about God. God wants us to enjoy life and learn and grow stronger from the difficult times. I guess this is my growing time.
