Yes, I am awesome...

Well, it seems as though I'm as good at remembering to blog as I am remembering to do just about anything else. I'm one of those people who will put something in front of the door so I remember to take it to work, then I will move it to open the door and leave it on the floor. Anyways, a lot has gone on since we last blogged. Currently, we are struggling through some decisions.

Katie was accepted to Northern Illinois University's nursing program. However, this was her second choice as it will take 6 months longer to complete and will also require summer school classes this summer. She is on the waiting list at UIC, her first choice, so that is what we are doing: waiting. Waiting is hard. It's frustrating, requires patience, and trust in God. It's easier to trust when everything is going your way.

As for me, well, I'm waiting too...to get started on my big paper that's due in 10 days. My waiting is maybe a little bit less responsible. We are working through some changes, as always, in our youth ministry. I love change, so it's exciting for me.

Then there is that dang motorcycle in my garage, another example of me overestimating my abilities. I bought a bike last year that was a "great deal." Right. I just finished replacing the head gasket on ym own, and in the process, I have managed to screw up something else, so now I'm frustrated with a busted up motorcycle in my garage that irritates me every time I go down there, but I don't have the time to put into it right now. Oh well, we'll see what happens with that.

Well, I'm off to go to work, where I will struggle to manage my time well and use it for God's glory. Hope you all have a great day, but I wonder how long it will be before anyone reads this, since it's been forever since I've posted. Maybe I'll send an email...
