Rainy Day and New Hobby

Today the weather is rainy and chilly here. I really don't like days like this, they are a bit depressing. I suppose I could be doing laundry or washing dishes, cleaning toilets or vacuuming, reading a book or taking a nap, but instead I decided to write. Well, if you can consider this writing.

I read a little in my bible today, some from the book of James. It was enlightening to say the least. It was encouraging to know that I "think" I am on the right track with my Social Work field. I really feel like this is what the Lord wants me to be doing, but I'm just not sure where I'm supposed to be going with it yet. Sometimes the waiting gets to me. I'm trying to be patient.

This weekend I am going to Virginia to spend some time with my Aunt Mel before school starts again. I'm really looking forward to getting to spend some one on one with her. She is so wise in my eyes, and so caring and giving of herself. You just can't help but come away from an encounter with her with your spirits totally lifted! She has a God given gift! I'm blessed to have her in my life.

Once school starts I will be in class every day Mon-Fri, and on Fridays I'll go back for a night course as well. There will be absolutely NO BREAK (except for the 4th of July). I think I will really appreciate the down time I get to spend with Anut Mel in a few weeks when things are feeling all hay wire from school.

I think that Taylor and I may be developing a new hobby. Not too long ago we got some corn cobs and Trey mounted them on the trees in the back yard (Thank you honey!). Well, the intention was to be able to watch the squirrels. Instead we seem to have attracted what seems to be tons of birds to our back yard (picking up what the squirrels have dropped). She and I are very curious about what type of birds they are, so I think we might try to learn some of the different types. It seems like good quality time together. I'm excited!

Well, I guess I'm off to get to some of that house work I'm putting off. TTFN
