Guess what!!! I just finished my master’s degree program. One week early. I haven’t told anyone yet. I want this moment just for myself. I’m finally done.
The sacrifices have been many to get here. Kids, yard, cooking, cleaning, fitness, friends, family, fun, dating, money, scripture study, service and callings … the list goes on and on. For 18 months I fought to barely hang on to so many things, but here is what I can tell you about the whole experience: God keeps His promises. When I look at my life, how well I live, and all that I am able to do … it doesn’t add up. The finances don’t add up, the time doesn’t add up, the amount of physical fitness doesn’t add up. And yet, here I am. There are promises made in my patriarchal blessing that my needs will be tended to. I don’t know how He does it, but I know that He does. I am forever grateful for such a loving and tender God who cares about little ol’ me. I am so so so rich in love and so appreciative.
Forever grateful!
