Stressed Spelled Backwards is Desserts!

Wow!  Life's just been crazy the past few weeks!  In an effort to be a better teacher I started two graduate level classes on reading.  It has been so much work and I feel so scatterbrained and exhausted.  Stress is never a good thing for people like me.  I've been walking around for about two weeks fighting a migraine and trying not to let it get the best of me.  I'm sitting down tonight and writing up a strict (LOL!) schedule to follow, so hopefully I will get more sleep and not stress about everything. 

Last week I was reminded that my life might be hard, but it is really really great!  I am so bLeSsEd!  I have an amazing family who support me in all my craziness.  I have a rewarding job!  My class this year has been so amazing that I want to cry from happiness everytime I think about them!  I'm learning so much in my reading classes that I'm excited to go to school everyday to try out new things.  I also have a SuPeR aMaZiNg mother!

I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am for my mother.  She has been such a rock to me.  Just watching her through everything she has had to deal with has been a perfect lesson on faith.  She has such a strong testimony and everytime I think about giving up I just think about her and I am reminded that through God nothing is impossible.  Thank you mom for everything!

Most of all I'm thankful for my Savior.  There is no way I can repay Him for all that he has done for me.  I was at a fireside for FHE on Monday and I heard a song about the perfect unconditional love Christ has for each of us.  It reminded me that I might not be perfect, but if I'm striving to be better each day, I will one day make it back to live with my Heavenly Father and brother Jesus Christ and that is all He wants for me.  I'm so thankful for the faith that I have developed in the last two years.  I can't say it has been easy, but I have learned so much that it has been worth every bad day to learn all that I have.
