Well, today marks the end of my babysitting days. I have been sitting for my niece, Jane Ann since she was twelve weeks old. She was two on June 29. Today is my last day.
This was a decision that I made - after much, much prayer and seeking God's guidance. I just didn't want ya'll to think I had been fired by my sister-in-law or anything.
Nope, God led me to this decision. You see, on August 10th, I will finally (let me stress f-i-n-a-l-l-y!!!) finish my bachelors degree. Yessiree, I'll be a college graduate with a real diploma and everything. Only took me a little over 13 years. So, the reason I won't be able to sit for Jane Ann anymore is that - drumroll please - I'm applying to graduate school!! Yep, that's right. Why stop now? I'm already in student mode - so why not go on for the next step up? Besides, what I really want to do is be a school librarian and that requires a Master's Degree in Media Specialist. So, I can stand to be a student for another 15 months or so. I'm really looking forward to this new adventure that God has for me.
God has blessed me with so much - I really don't deserve anything more. But, since He is such a loving and merciful God, I receive His blessings with love and adoration.
I pray that He will continue to guide me through this new adventure and when I'm ready to step into my first job as librarian (which by the way, I will be a really cool librarian - not one of those stuffy types) I will give Him all the glory and praise. Of course, I'll just do that in the mean time, anyway.
Ya'll have a blessed day. And, praise Him, praise Him, praise Him.

Girlfriend!!!! I am SO excited about this new phase of life for you! Glory!
And to continue the student journey! How stinking cool of a job would that be!? We need some more praising-Jesus librarians :)
I'll be cheering you on if you can help cheer me on for this whole 'masters' business too :)
May God direct your path as you seek Him...and may He do more than you can ask or imagine! Yes, praise Him--He is worthy indeed!
