Stressing Out

It is crunch time at school and I feel a bit stressed out and overwhelmed. I have a huge bone test tomorrow, I have a 4 chapter test on the 6th, I have a research paper due and a psychology test on the 7th, and then the A & P final is on the 13th. Yeah I'm a little worried here. I was really hoping to get another 3.5 GPA but at this point I will be happy just to pass.

Please pray that I can study and work on all these things with little interuption and objection from family. I may not go to church tonight because I need every minute of free time I have right now. I feel a headache coming on!

Updates - All Over The Place

Well we can now pray at WKCTC, PRAISE GOD! He worked it out and wanted us to know it was Him that did it.

I hurt my back Monday night, not sure how, it just started hurting. It got so bad that I had to go to a chiropractor Wednesday. X-rays showed several misalignments, including my pelivc bone was higher on the right and pushed forward on the right, and a few vertebrae were twisted.

I couldn't go to school Thursday and missed a test because of it. I was just so sore from all the adjustments. Today it was a little better, but I went back to the chiropractor, we found that my hip was still out of place, more adjustments hopefully fixed me right up. I feel better than I did this morning. I go back Monday to see how well the adjustments have worked.

Please pray for my friend "BW", she is starting to have seizures again, and those can be so dangerous to have, especially if she were to be driving or something like that. She went a pretty good while without having any, then they did a medicine change and she is having them again. Just pray that God will protect her from all harm and that he will heal her.

Also, please pray for my mom and her best friend's family. Her best friend died from cancer Tuesday night.

UPDATE

I am meeting with the president of the college tomorrow about the prayer walk. I believe God stepped in and worked a miracle! God is so good!

Shocked & Confused

Yesterday we went to WKCTC for our first prayer walk there. We weren't welcomed at all. Shortly after arriving, a security officer approached us and we were told to leave. The security officer said he had been given specific instructions to have us leave if we showed up to pray. Can you believe that? Here we are in the Bible Belt and we can't pray in a public place.

It just goes to show what this world is coming to when your told you can't pray. I mean what does prayer hurt? I could understand if we were there to protest or be disruptive or cause trouble, but we were there to talk to God on behalf of the college.

It's ok though because I know God has a plan. He wouldn't have put this on my heart if he wasn't going to see it through. He is testing me, or maybe the college, I don't know, but I know HIS will be done, and I am just waiting to see what God does with this. It will be amazing I am sure!

Happy Happy Happy

Yes I am happy, why? because the Democrats did good Tuesday night here in Ky. I wasn't really crazy about Beshear, but when compared to Fletcher, he was the lesser of the two evils. (IMO)

If Tuesday night is any predictor of our presidental election, then we will either have the first woman president, or the first black president(assuming he wins the primary). Either would be fine with me, but I'd rather have Hillary!

I have heard people say that you can't be a Democrat and a Christian, well I am both, so that isn't true! Democrats are all about saving our civil rights and upholding the Constitution, while feeding the poor and helping those less fortunate ... sure sounds like a Christian to me!

Another test said I was a smaller government centrist toward the libertarian side while being on the line between conservative and libertarian. This is what it said:

Your views call roughly the same amount of government with just a bit more liberty than we currently have in the United States today. Your views are probably best served by a nearly equal mix of Democrats and Republicans in the legislatures, as long as you choose the correct Democrats and Republicans.

Or, if you want to make sure government shrinks a bit, you could throw a few Libertarians into the mix. But just a few. The Libertarian Party calls for radical cuts in government far beyond what you want. Think of a tub of cold bathwater. To get it warm enough to be comfortable, you can add scalding hot water to bring the temperature up to ideal.

Fun & Fellowship

Last night we went to the "L" house for a Sunday School party. It was a lot of fun. We played volleyball, went for a hayride, had a bonfire, and ate a wonderfully delicious potluck dinner. Us women went inside and had a few interesting conversations I think the men talked about hunting and fishing out in the garage.

We all had a great time, and JL & BL were so gracious by hosting the party. I really enjoyed myself, and I know the rest of the crew did too.

Some people go to church and associate with people but don't like hanging out with them. My church is like a great big family, we like hanging out with each other. It's nice to know that you have people who support you and are there for you in time of need.

Stressing Out

When we bought this house, we were told that the taxes on it weren't bad, and when we seen what the previous owner paid, we new we could handle it. We got the county tax bill a day ago and I just about passed out. It is almost $500 and that isn't counting city tax! The taxes are due on November 30th, along with house insurance over $300, the city tax should be here sometime, and it should be close to $200, then I have $200 worth of uniforms to buy before school starts back in January.

All this on one income ... yeah I am freaking out! It is going to take a miracle from God to get this all paid. As if I didn't have enough to stress about with school and getting good grades, now I got to worry about over $1200 we have to have very soon.

I can't get a job, it would cause me to do poorly in school - which would be counterproductive. Our income taxes will be here in February, but that is too late. Stanley will work over as much as possible, but because they have had someone working over all the time and not getting much work done, they are trying to stop overtime completely because they feel someone is taking advantage of the company.

Christmas will be very skimpy this year to say the least, and we won't be able to spend any money that isn't absolutely necessary. Pinching pennies will be my new hobby. I can't wait! I'm gonna go cry and pray, have a great, glorious, and blessed day!
