So here I am still awake. What am I thinking?? I have to get up at like 6:30 in the morning and I still sit here. I was just reading over past posts, and then past prayer journals. It is just so amazing how much God has continued to change me. Constantly. Just 2 months ago I wrote in a journal entry how I prayed that God would show me His will and path for me. Because I was tired of feeling lost and out of place. I now believe with all my heart that this is the path that I'm meant to take. I know He has placed me with these kids for a reason, and its not that they need me. It's that I need them.
I also love going back over my prayer journals because I can see over and over again where God has answered my prayers. It is so amazing. I mean you know that He answers prayers, but you don't ever think about it. But if you have them written down, you can go back and see the miraculous things that He has done(or at least that's how it is in my case.) So that's something I'm going to recommend to anyone. Start a prayer journal. Start out writing, maybe every night. Pretty soon you'll see the results and will want to carry it around every where with you so that you can just write down little prayers throughout the day. It's wonderful.
It also helped me, because for a while I had a problem focusing while I was praying. I would start then drift away thinking about something else. So if I am writing it down, I can get all my thoughts together, and not worry about missing something because I was thinking about what classes I still have to take, or if I should double major at WT or not. Silly things like that.
Which I am still thinking about. But the biggest down side is that to major in Social Work at WT, you have to take Biology I & II. Well I've taken my sciences, but I took Life Science I & II, not thinking that it would really matter as long as I took one. But no. It's okay though because I know that if I am really meant to be in that field, God will have it work out. It's still crazy though. You have to apply and have two letters of recommendation stating that you are willing or enthusiastic or whatever about helping people, BEFORE they will even consider you a major. Who knows what they're doing.
On another note, Hunter is getting so big. It's crazy to me that he is already almost 6 months old. It's like it was yesterday that my mom was flipping out cause Sam was pregnant (which she had every right to.) He is starting to jibber. Oh yea, the other day he figured out how to scream in this high pitched sound, so he does that all the time. He rolls over, but only when he wants to. Most of the time he's content to just lay on his belly or back.
As much as I dislike them living with us, I'm thankful that he is a happy baby. Just so I don't have to listen to all that crying. Well I have talked enough about nothing, for no reason at all (and without realizing it.) Sorry you had to listen(or read, whatever) to my incoherent thoughts.
