Now it's really summer "break"

So summer school finished with a bang. Not really a bang, more like a really strong bite and a few mighty kicks to my shin!

Either way, a certain sense of accomplishment was felt upon finishing....extra money earned to pay for home improvements (amongst other things), more professional experience, new friends, the ability to get to know a whole new set of kids quite well in 6 weeks....it was a great experience.

Now what am I doing with my time, you ask?

Cramming in fun, entertaining and spending time with an out of town friend (a nice, cooler experience for her!), cleaning, baking, knitting (yes, I finally relearned and am enjoying myself), jewelry making, gardening, stocking up on groceries....and best of all....helping my husband to get started on his higher degree.

With his official ID number and welcoming email, he will start on his trek to the finish line: becoming an RN.

How exciting! I now get be a study buddy...it'll be interesting NOT being involved in the actual classes!

I am so proud of my husband for getting started. It is going to be a tough road ahead, but we will work on it together!

We are praying for him to get into at least 4 classes/semester so he can HOPEFULLY get started on the nursing program next fall! Our intent is for him to work full-time this year, then once he gets into the program we will have to modify that schedule at work....praying for me to be able to make up enough extra money between summer school etc. to continue paying for our necessary home repairs, mortgage, car loans, and his school.

Our specific prayer is that the Lord will provide us with 2/3 of his overall tuition to be paid for; we can cover the rest. God has told us to ask SPECIFICALLY and we trust that just as He has met our financial (and other) needs in the past, HE will once again meet these easily.

I pray for my heart to be CERTAIN that God will honor His promises.

I pray for my husband to persevere as he goes to school full-time and works full-time....and that I will not grow weary in helping him as I have done this before and remember the exhaustion quite well.

God is faithful. He has proven this a multitude of times over...and I trust that HE will do so again.

Thanks in advance. ;)
