Painting Flower Pots - One of My Hobbies When School's Out
Then Jesus Said........
Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light. Matthew 11:28
I grew up in Connecticut and then went away to North Carolina and Florida for school. But New England is in my bones, so here I am again. My husband "B" and I will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary this September. I'm in my 4th year of law school (I go at night and work during the day) and I can't wait to get out and spend more time with B. During any free time I love to cook, crochet, draw and run. Just did my 2nd half marathon this past April - finished slow and steady. Next , maybe a full marathon!!
I can happily report that I passed the Bar...and more importantly B is home for good!! WOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I must say it has been a happy day and now there is a 3 day weekend, what more could I ask?!
Well, the day has arrived. Tommorrow I find out if I passed the Connecticut Bar exam, and, much more importantly - B returns home from training for good! I can't wait (for B) but can't help feeling nervous about the Bar. I need to rest on that scripture - "faith is the substance of things hoped for". Even writing that I am reminded how far askew my priorities fall sometimes. The way it is easier to get to church or find time to pray when there is something I am worried about, and how easy it is to get wrapped up in selfish things during my free time now that I'm done with school.
That being said, I find myself wondering lately what exactly "It" is - passing the Bar? Finding that job that you were made to do? I just don't know. If it isn't obvious I have felt restless about the area that is my job lately. I'll be checking in again about that soon.
On a random note and sort of following in Brittny's line of thought about her 8 cookies - I have been eating almond and peanut butter like crazy, like, spoonfuls of it by itself every night. Weird huh? I must just be nuts....OK, OK, sorry....
