2013: The Year Without Stopping

This year should be interesting.  I look at my schedule and I see full to overflowing.  This year my mission is obvious: get my degree in the midst of my normal family life.

I started off pretty well back to school.  I have 3 A's and 1 B in my classes from last semester.  I'm still kinda upset about the B.  Still, I did my best and came out with my family still functioning.

Next week I start a new semester.  It looks like some really tough classes ahead for the next 8 weeks.  I have three that I am starting next week.  I'm looking forward to them this time.  The last 8 weeks were just crazy and neither class was really enjoyable for me.  This time I have all classes that are in my major, and the classes seem really fun, though time consuming.  It will be 8 weeks of hard work, followed by 8 more weeks of hard work, then a moment to breathe, then back to another 8 weeks of hard work...that is pretty much my year.

At the end of the year, if all goes the way that it is supposed to, I will have my Bachelor's from California Baptist University.  I'm still not sure what the next step is after that, but I'm waiting for a calling from God before making plans.  I have a few things that I have in my head, but I want to make sure that whatever plans that I have come from God before making them.  I don't want to base my decision on what I want.  I want God to direct me completely.  It's kind of a strange place to be right now.  I'm still waiting on direction but moving forward with what I know God wants me to do.  Life would be so much easier if I knew all of the plans, but God never promised anyone an easy life.
