Life happens

Well, I should be celebrating and I will soon.  Spring semester is over, finals are done, books are returned, grades should be posted soon.  I thought it would be a fun weekend and then time to start on my summer projects which include writing (and reading) and sewing.  Of course, life decided to interrupt.  The car service engine light came on yesterday and fixing the issue maybe a few dollars for a fouled spark plug or several hundred for a new sensor plus several more hundred to install it.  Well, as my friend Katie says, if God was in charge when you started then He is still in charge or He never has been.  So, God, since you are still in charge and You obviously know all the things that have to happen this summer, I expect this will just be one of the ways we get to watch another of Your miracles unfold.  Thanks for the blessings.  Glad I get a chance to be writing again.

I'd rather be writing

I feel like another time flies while your having fun post is what aught to go here, but it hasn't been all fun.  Some of it has been in fact, hard work.  Being a college student again has been eye opening.  Most of the classes have been pretty straight forward for me, except Spanish.  Wow, I wish I had stuck with a language in high school.  Well, even people who had Spanish in high school are struggling in this class and I am making it through.  Honestly though the hardest thing has been staying focused on my homework and away from the book(s).  I WANT TO WRITE!!! I was so excited after I got the first book back from the editor that I spent a lot of my spring break working on it.  I had to force myself to put it down and get back to school work.  Well, just one more week of classes and then a week of finals and I am free to jump into all my summer projects, the first of which is getting a query letter ready so I can get an agent, literary.  Wish me luck, hope to see you all in a few weeks.

I did hear something today which, I modified a little, but still think it is great.
