it's time

Pin It

Things are coming together in my life and I know the next phase will be my education. The tuition reimbursement program has already accepted my application. It will cost me only the first initial semester out of pocket to get started. After that, my degree will be free. It's time.

I told my boss yesterday that I think I'll go to law school. When I was 29, I took a battery of tests at the college after my husband at the time said no to more children. The gal behind the counter had to re-score my test. She said she had never seen anyone get a 99% before. My results were complete a match for 'physician'.

Well, I feel it's too late for that profession. At least that's how I feel today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. But I know the things I'm good at now and a law degree could match a pretty close second to a medical degree.

It's exciting to see a whole new future ahead and know that it will keep getting better for me. My new home is perfect. I went over there yesterday and walked around the backyard. There is a huge covered patio where a patio set, a swing and a grill will go someday when it's provided to me. There is a nice area for my hammock also. It is a peaceful place that reminds me of those mornings in Michigan when we'd sit outside, drink a cup of coffee and enjoy the woods while we discussed everything and anything. There were some good times in my past life. I do remember and am grateful for those...

The family room/country kitchen is huge and I'm going to need another set of furniture for it. I've got a lead on a full set (couch, loveseat and recliner) but it's $500 and, with getting Samantha this next month plus two graduations, I just don't have any cash. I'm strapped as it is. I'm going to have to find cheap appliances also. I need a stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer. Everything. I've got the lawn mower already.

It will all happen. God hasn't taken me this far to leave me without what I need. All in it's own time.

Oh, and the first of next month, Samantha will have a sister to come home to...

Yes, I will be bringing home Faith. She's a sweet girl who loves to sit at your feet and be petted. She will be a wonderful addition to my growing family.

Oh how overwhelming it is to have what I lost three years ago restored to me! Not only restored but abundantly multiplied. It's more than I ever dreamed of... more than I ever expected... more than I ever hoped for...

I am in awe of it all... totally.
It's time. It's time for many things... for me.
