hello summer!

My first summer vacation is here! I’ve been looking forward to this since January! I have had summers off as a student & an assistant but this is different. I feel like I survived this semester & I deserve this summer  break. Oh and it will be my first paid summer break! I questioned if should I get a small part time job just to keep me busy but I decided against it. I signed up to work at a few special needs camp in July to get me back in the swing of things. I am off work for 10 glorious weeks. If you need me you can find me by some type of body of water, crafting, or working in my classroom. Hello summer, I welcome you with open arms!  

Finally...

Yay!! I finally figured out to add my blog signature! :) Oh and its the last Monday of the 2011-2012 school year...2 days away from sweet summer time!

Look what I can do!

Well, I guess its official. I graduated from college. I actually graduated in December but Ole Miss only has one ceremony in May. So here I am, in the Grove, the infamous tailgating spot to the black bears..I mean Rebels. If you know me, you know I am a true maroon Mississippi State Bulldog!! So graduating from Ole Miss just wasn't high on my to do list, but Ole Miss DeSoto center was what I needed to get done with my higher education. If I had to go the main campus for longer than a summer course, I don't know if I would have made it. But I did make it. I worked full time and went to school full time. I had long days followed by longer nights. But I believe there is a blessing in everything. Ole Miss DeSoto in many ways blessed me. It blessed me with different outlooks on life, new friends and reconneced with old friends. Here are some of my new friends that I made over the past two years. We did it girls! Time for our next chapter and new beginnings!! And as always HAIL STATE!

Jeremiah 29:11-13

When I pray I know the Lord hears me. If I have ever trusted in anything, it is Him. No matter how many times I have failed him, he has NEVER failed me. When I used to pray I would keep worrying about it. I wouldn't fully give it to God. Was it my trust issues or me being hard headed? More than likely, it was both. I have learned the best thing I can do is pray and give it all to Him. I prayed for guidance and which way I should go on certain things. Then I drifted off to la la land. I woke up and my feeling of peace is still with me this morning. It is almost like I CAN'T think about it and I acutally kind of like it. I guess it's giving me time to think about IEP corrections! :)

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, They are plans for good and not for diaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me."--Jeremiah 29:11-13
