they are a coming.  Prayers gladly excepted and also gladly offered up for whatever you need prayer for.

Today my mom actually suggested I go out and buy all the kitchen stuff I want so I will be up to the minimum weight for my move. 
I asked her what money I was supposed to use to do that.
She couldn't answer.

So goes my life

This is a very frustrating place to be.  God let me handle this as you wish it handled.

No interview.

Some people mellow with age.  I am not one of those people. 

Sorry to all of you who hoped that I would be one of them.  It's not going to happen.

If you show a little, eventually the other party shows it back.  Nice

I guess the formal letter I mailed yesterday worked.  They are going to reissue my degree certificate.    Now I can actually have it framed and display it with pride.  Nice to be able to do after all that hard work.

Random question-  How long do you think it will take the IRS to cash your tax check?  Or how long did it take you to cash your refund check?  Also do you already have your up to $600 rebate money earmarked?

In a sign that I should never go back to school ever again, the University messed up my name on my degree.  Even though my name on record has not changed they are telling me they will not reissue my diploma with my name spelled as it was on my Master's Degree.    I'm working on it but currently continue to be underwhelmed with the school's cooperation on this issue.  If left as is my Doctoral degree will never be framed or proudly displayed.  That chaps my hide.

I realized today how much I want something.  I mean, really want it.  For those of you who know me well- know what it took for me to get this last degree, how much I had to deal with, and go through to get here, who knew that it was pure will power and God's grace that kept me from losing my mind, health, and those relationships that were not lost forever while I went after it, you will be shocked by this.  I want this new thing more.

It scares me. 

What lengths will I go to make it happen?

What if it doesn't happen? 

What happens when it happens?

What if God doesn't want it to happen?

I need prayer.  Let God's will be done, and let me be at peace if this is not what He wants for me, if this is not how I am to serve Him.  After all, if this is what He has planned for me, nothing will stop Him or it happening.

I'm scared.
