August Update

So I'm going back to school...well, not physically but I'm taking several online courses. I have a vision for this project I keep mentioning (that I do hope to share in the future) and I firmly believe that finishing my degree is something He wants me to do...so much so, that in less than a days time I've been admitted to our local college and accepted into three overbooked classes (some with up to -15 slots!) I'm eligible for a spouses scholarship which would pay for all of my tuition with the exception of books and student fees. Part of me started to worry when I was reminded of how costly books are but then I quickly realized that all of this worked out because He wanted it to. He will provide and He will make it happen. I am curious to see how this semester will play out. This will be my first encounter with online courses and I will have to learn to balance it all out with Ethan, Kaiden, my home life and the occasional photography jobs I have lined up. I know I will be busy and relying on His strength more than ever.

Kaiden is such a ball of fun. I love looking at his old videos and seeing the personality he has now, then. He is now able to hold onto things, let go and stand up by himself for a good 4-5 seconds. His second tooth has finally broken through and although he is slower in the tooth and talking department, he is definitely faster physically. He can palm his bottle and has quite the arm on him. I'm so blessed to have such a bundle of joy in my life and I love that I can spend my day with another little human being.

Ethan and I are waiting to hear back on some other potential job positions in the military. We have been praying long and hard about all of this and have been very active about it all. I wish I could go into more detail but I don't want to jump the gun with anything, as we are still uncertain anything may even happen. If anything, this whole process has taught how to pray, wait, pray even more and wait even longer. I can see how God has used it to refine us and grow us closer together.

One more thing I must share...I've been incredibly encouraged by this woman's blog. Her honest journey and Berean-approach to the Bible is refreshing and has me reading post after post.

Have a wonderful night :)
