reflecting

I have now been a mother for twenty-one years! It does not seem that long. And I had three girls after him. Life was full! Somedays I wish that I could go back and do it all over again--snuggle a little more, play a little more, relax a little more. Even though I made mistakes and would change things (hind sight is always twenty-twenty), my son is an amazing person. I pray that God will continue to guide his steps and give him direction. For his well-being and self-esteem, I pray that God will answer this mom's prayer.

The count down continues!

In September, 2007 I began a journey that will result in acquiring my master's degree in Reading and Literacy. The first week of my last class is almost over. Seven weeks to go--and the submission of my portfolio. God has been present through it all--giving me strength, clarity of thought, and the words when needed. I look forward to more free time and getting my life back in order. Maybe that is what I have learned the most--order is good!
