Me and School

The truth is.... I don't like school.
I love learning, I love reading, but for some reason school is so hard for me to do.
My motivation in the morning is generally at zero.  Two chapters of the New Testament (currently Luke), two frozen waffles,  a cup of coffee, and a shower later I'm still generally wanting to crawl back into bed.
What is it that scares me?  What is it that makes me feel like I don't belong?  I don't know.  I'm just stuck.

Maybe it's because I still don't really know what God wants me to do how I'm supposed to do this.  What are my dreams?  The things that have been cultivated inside of me and growing since I was a little girl?  To be a wife.  A mother.  A cattle ranching, hay making farmer.  I don't want to be in an office five days a week with a week off for Christmas and other holidays.  I love the land.  I love to work the land.  I don't know a lot there is to know about farming and ranching, but who really has all of the answers?  I'm willing to learn...and I guess that's why I'm here. 

Will you walk with me during this time of searching out answers?   

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened"

Matthew 7:7&8

Praise the Lord!
It looks like Mar and I have found a roommate.  Not only is this a huge answer to prayer for the finance department, but it's also just plain exciting! 
I'm super excited to have a fellow blogger in the apartment as well as a sister in Christ! 

This summer was a big fat black hole in my walk.  Stagnant, dark waters that I'm glad to be over.  The thing is now I have to re-train myself to spend time in the Word, and in prayer.  Some of you may remember my goal last January to read the Bible in 90 days?  Well...let's just say that I'm in Mark chapter 8..and it's October 3rd.  My goal is to read 2 chapters a day.

Fact: 
When I get up before dawn, make some coffee, eat some breakfast, read and pray my day goes 100 times better than if I hadn't. 
Loading the Bible Experience (click here to listen to a snip) onto my iPod to correlate with what I'm reading that day so I can listen to it while walking around campus, even better. 

Here are some links to blogs and random things that I find encouraging! 
A Holy Experience - by Ann Voskamp.  One. Of. My. Favorites.Period
Resolved2Worship - by Alyssa  This is another great one from the heart.
(in)courage - an EXCELLENT resource for all things encouraging, uplifting, and just fantastic for women. 

So yeah.  These are some of the places that I like to hang out at and just breathe.  Breathe in the presence of my Lord and Savior. 

Because mercy and grace really are enough,
