I'm Back!

Praise God! After a more than two-year long hiatus, I am now officially a student at Regent again. In one month, classes will resume and I will be on my way toward graduating next Summer! In February I will be taking my LSAT and when my scores come in, I'm applying to Law School and - YES - moving to Virginia Beach with my husband and children in tow to attend grad school! I feel SO blessed to finally have the opportunity to get back on track toward my degree, and ultimately my career.

My husband and I have experienced several "redirects" throughout the years... with five children born in an eight-year time span, you can't really expect smooth sailing LOL Plans evolve with life... especially when they are OUR plans. Fortunately there is a set of plans that is independent of our aspirations and immune to our circumstantial evolution: God's plan! His plan cannot be compromised. We - by free will - have the power to exclude ourselves from His plan... but we cannot alter it. It remains and even when we screw up, God makes provisions to keep that plan intact - to put us back on the path that leads to the purpose He assigned us in creation.

That's where we are now. Getting back on track; submitting ourselves to Him so that the Spirit is able to guide us in the right direction. Were we going in the wrong direction before? I don't believe so. I believe that throughout the course of life, everyone finds themselves making choices selfishly... during those times, their testimony is built through the trials they face on their own and those struggles bring them closer to God than before. So, just because during those times we're not necessarily "on the right track" or perhaps we're simply squatting for a break alongside the road, going nowhere... that doesn't mean that we're lost. Detours sometimes provide the strongest and most lasting life lessons... and the most wisdom.

So, I'm back! ... Thank God :)
