Pages From My Journal

     To be honest, I got Senioritis last year, and I was only a Junior. I would much rather be in college right now, studying history and Bible, and writing fiction, and reading C.S.Lewis. However, God has not shifted time, and I am exactly where I am supposed to be.     Enjoying school is another thing. There are many things I want to do, but cannot because I'm so busy. I am relying on God to keep me relaxed and flexible, but I wasn't enjoying school at all.     It wasn't until I got my Senior pictures done that I actually felt like I was a Senior and thought, "This is my last year. It's time to enjoy it."  How do you balance a busy life and have time for the things you enjoy? ~Alyson

This school year, I'm taking classes at a private school, online, and homeschool. For now, I'm doing my homeschool at the library a couple blocks from the private school.  It's not a bad change if pace. Where would you do school if you could chose anywhere?

    School has started, work has continued, family is always calling, and writing has been waiting. Life is crazy right now. Lately, I have found myself waking up saying, "God, just help me get through today."      Everyday I will: Look for the little blessings. Make someone smile. Say "thank you." Be gracious. Not let upsets ruin my day. Work my best at everything.
