Oh happy day!

I got an email from LSU today saying I've been accepted in to the graduate program in speech language pathology! I was previously unsure which school I wanted to go to but I think when I opened that email I became sure. I was happy to be accepted to the others but I'm pretty sure LSU's acceptance made me the happiest. Reading the email was followed by a fist pump in the air and a smile that lasted for quite a while. I've got 1-2 weeks before I have to make the final decision and make it official so even though I'm pretty sure I'll still pray about it.

Answered Prayer

God's timing is wonderful and perfect. Earlier in the week I found out that some of the COMD students going into audiology had started hearing from graduate schools. I knew that meant I should be hearing soon from graduate schools which I was a little worried about.

Tuesday was the first day that I heard of students hearing about audiology.

Wednesday Kallie and I were celebrating pi day together and talking about grad school and I really started to become anxious to hear from the schools I applied to.

Thursday I share this anxiousness with someone and we pray about it.

Friday afternoon I get the mail, which I don't do often, and I had a letter from Southeastern. I have been accepted to SELU's graduate program!

Saturday in the mail I have a letter from ULL. I have been accepted to ULL's graduate program!

I know that it is logical that I heard from the grad schools at this time but it is still serves as another one of those times that come as a strong reminder that God does answer our prayers.

Now to continue praying as I have yet to hear from LSU and I will have to make a decision on which school to go to.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6

Lindsay's Lessons

Today I had lunch with Lindsay, which is always great. She gave me 4 rules. Here they are:

1. Know your worth.

2. Be a cake.

3. Be who you are looking for.

4. Be taken.

It's Been a Good Week

Last Friday on my way to work I was thinking. Yesterday when everybody asked how my week was or how work was all I did is complain. Yes, I am being honest about it but who really wants to hear about how unhappy someone else is. So, I decided it's no fun for others to have to hear about how unhappy I am, and it's certainly no fun for me to be so unhappy. I must find a way to be happy with this job. Something to make my weeks good. This week has proved to be a good week. I just needed that little something something to make each day special.

Monday I went to the BCM. I got to see a few friends and have free lunch. Then I got to enjoy laying on the parade ground and digging into the Word. I wish I could have stayed out there a lot longer but, alas, I did have to leave and go to work.

Tuesday the Jefferson College Ministry provided food to the FCA at LSU. I went there straight from work. I really enjoyed it. Marla and her husband (I can't remember his name), who are in charge of the FCA, talked about relationships.

Wednesday, my long 12 hour day, I wasn't sure how to make it a good day. I'm with the first client for so long on Wednesdays so I decided we should go somewhere because that would take up more time. We went to the LSU Museum of Natural Science and to see Mike the Tiger. Mike, of course, was sleeping. I hadn't been to the museum in so many years so that was nice. And just simply being on campus during the day surrounded by people was great!

Thursdays I always have TNT that I look forward to. Although, I must admit I didn't enjoy it as much as usual. Not because of TNT itself but because of me. I was so tired and had had a headache since before I went.

Friday nothing to special happened. I needed to ask to switch some of my hours around for 3 days. I was kind of afraid to ask. I opened my planner and just sat with it in my lap for at least five minutes trying find the words to use. It was a success though! I got the hours for two Mondays switched and the Friday that I was asking if I could leave about an hour early she told me I could go ahead and just take the day off!

So it was a good work week. Then tonight I went to my first baseball game. LSU v. Michigan. Robbie, Charles, J, Hayden, and I had supper at Mellow Mushroom and the went to the game. It was fun but a little boring too. There's not a lot of action in baseball.

Hopefully next week can be just as a good a week as this one was.

I Miss People

I don't think people really understand what I mean when I say that I miss people. I've had a few people say they're so busy with school and what not that they miss people too. Here's the thing though, I don't have school. I don't even get the socialization of being with people my age in a class, saying hey to a friend you unexpectedly pass, seeing friends. I have my mom, sister, dad, a 78 y/o lady, a developmentally disabled guy who doesn't talk to me, and another one who I'm just not sure what to talk about yet. I miss people.
