After a really busy weekend, including open house at the school where I teach, I get a moment of quiet as my dear husband takes a break. He spent the weekend camping with the Boy Scout and needs to decompress. I totally get that need.
I met some really great people and then some people who... well... I'm sure they are great, too, but have unrealistic expectations as far as the education of their child goes. I hope they find a place to belong - really I do.
We have begun the season of Lent - a time when I usually become very introspective and almost melancholy. My heart breaks over and over because of the love God has shown to me - to the extent that His own Son died to show me how much he loves me. No one else is capable of such a love. No one.
I wonder sometimes if I am fulfilling the purpose that God has for me - am I ignoring something? Am I missing the obvious? Is there more I need to do? So, I wait and wonder. There was a time when I was overly busy doing the work of the church. And now, it seems I'm not overly busy and I wonder - is there a reason for that? So I pray for God to show me what it is He wants from me... and I wait for the answer.

The prodigal blogger returns?
Well, I always make the promise that I'll write once a month. Then one month turns into more than one...
Some changes have happened since I last wrote: but I guess the biggest one is that I am back on Weight Watchers. It is a plan that works for me and I don't feel deprived. And I'm losing. Been back on it for 25 weeks and averaging 1.1 pound per week. That's safe and it's doable and that's 26.4 pounds that I do not have to have again. Actually the first time I did WW back in 2008 I was 12 pounds heavier at the start: so I am 38.4 pounds lighter than I was in August 2008. I'm looking at less than 40 pounds to go but I'll make that call when I get there.
I'm also thinking about going back to school for another graduate degree - I have my reasons and I'm not quite ready to share them yet, but if I'm going to do it, I have to make my decision pretty soon.
So - those are both a matter of personal prayer requests for me. I'll try (not promising) to be more regular here for my one reader. I know she has been wringing her hands with worry over my absence. haha
