I struggle with asking for help when I need it. Being a single mom for so long I have gotten pretty good at "doing it myself" although I do thank God for all his mercies a dozen times a day. I get a chuckle out of guests when they hear me thanking God when I go to the fridge (it's only a few months old and was badly needed to fit my teen and tweens growing appetites) but I'm not embarrassed because I am full aware of how much has been put into my path to benefit my little family and make life easier on me so I can be a better parent instead of stressed and ill at ease. You know? Anyways so here is a shot of faith in asking for help. Maybe you all can send your positive prayers my way for finals to go smoothly. If I pass all my classes this quarter I can take the summer off which will be a first since starting back to college 2 years ago. I have a long ways to go and next fall will present new challenges so a summer off with my kids would be fantastic. Thanks!
