What a week

Why is it that everything either happens all at once or not at all? I have been peacefully coming home every day from work and now suddenly I can't get home without having to stop at least three times. I want to get my web page finished before Saturday so once I leave class I am FREE!

I can't help wondering whether I will be in the same boat as all of you this time next year. It blew my mind to find out that I have to set up my student teaching nine months in advance. That means the earliest I can student teach is next August - assuming I can get accepted by MTSU and get a student loan to cover the additional 21 or so hours by this November.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is what I am supposed to be doing. It was made very clear to me through the events that happened in January, February, and March of this year, but I didn't expect quite so many hurdles to be put in the way.

A bit disjointed tonight, but that is how my week has been going.

I know how you feel. I wanted to start this program last year, but God had other plans for me. He knew that I would not have been able to give 100% to this program. I kept praying and this oportunity came about. Just do the same. If deep down you know, then it is suppose to happen. A few hurdles along the way will make the ending so much sweeter.

Tressy,

Hold to your vision. From Proverbs: "Where there is no vision, people perish."
I know you will be a great, ORGANIZED teacher--look what you do for us.

Nine months! Well, I better get started on this as well. I feel your pain on all of this and will be there right with you. I also feel like this is what I am to do and I do feel like it is an answer to prayer. I just keep reminding myself that all things are possible with God, even though some days they don't seem that way!
I know this will work out for you and you will be a wonderful librarian!
