New Beginnings

So I decided to start a little blog for a few reasons..
1. Its good therapy
2. So i can keep some folks updated on my crazy life, since i feel like I moved to another planet...
3. Apparently, its what the cool people do these days.

The move to columbus was successful!!! I enjoyed a wonderful weekend with the moma. and ofcourse, after she left me, cried for an hour (dont tell her that, im supposed to be a "big girl")...The apartment is super cute, if i do say so myself :). And Its starting to feel a little more like a home away from home... During all of the hype of moving and getting set up, i think i forgot that i actually was returning to school, and actually had to study AGAIN!! (I already did 4 years of  this, geeez louise..)

This morning I got a little scared after my first class, not because its going to be hard (i knew that already), but because i realized this " slp stuff"  is all sort of new to me. Ive focused on psychology/special ed and autism for the past three years while getting my degree.... and then God threw me a curve ball! Ive had to branch out and trust that speech pathology is part of  His plan for my life. And that its all going to fall into place! Yesterday, I was a little discouraged and feeling like i wasted some time by going a different route first, but I reminded myself this afternoon, that God's plan was for me to be here at MUW right now and getting experience in other areas was part of His plan for my life too!  So, My prayer today was not to worry and to be thankful!
Phillipians 4:6-7 tells us "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which trancsends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus." So refreshing to know that my God will take care of me!

All in all, a very enlightening and great first day as a Graduate Student!
( i also started working at my new little job, ill be helping coach cheerleading and tumbling a few hours a week in columbus.. and I did some tumbling, jumping and spotting today that i havent done in quite awhile so im going to go soak the muscles in my new cute clawfoot bathtub :)... and lets hope i can move tomorrow!!!
