Father's Blessing

So during the early AM on Father's Day, I was driving home after trying to play some pool and having a drink... I just happen to be speeding as usual and I get pulled over by the police T_T as usual they asked for license, registration, insurance... I was the designated DD and luckily the officer just let me off with a warning. Thank God!!!

Let me tell you, I've gotten pulled over by the police 7 times prior to this and got a ticket every single time..... the first 6 times were during the first 3 years I had my license. So the tickets I've gotten were for running red lights 3 times, speeding twice, once for my mother not wearing her seatbelt, and most recently for my backlight being burnt out. I contested all the moving violations and have only been found guilty of speeding once.

I feel that not getting a ticket this time was definitely a blessing from God, I've been doing what I can with the help of the Holy Spirit  to follow what I believe God wants me to do in my life at this point in time and growing a lot through what has been happening around me. Following God's will for every choice that comes up is definitely not always easy, but the rewards, the blessing, the satisfaction that the Father bestows upon you for a job well done is worth more than any treasure on earth because it is everlasting and cannot be taken away.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:18

Financial Headaches

I was recently accepted into a Masters program for Occupational Therapy at a private university... so of course the cost of attendance is sky high. I've gotten my financial aid paper work that is full of loans and now I'm just trying to crunch out the numbers that I need to fund my entire school year.

Of course tabulating the mandatory things like tuition and student body association fee is easy, but then I have to alter all the other expenses to not incur way too much debt since 2 out of the 3 loans are not subsidized. Okay, back to work I go....

Yay for Blogging!

Hello world! I've taken a four year hiatus from doing any sort of blogging, but decided to start again because its fun being able to express yourself in words even if you aren't able to express yourself verbally. 


It's also a really good way to look back on your life and reflect on how you've changed and how the people and things around me have changed. 


Hope you enjoy the read =]
