Priorities and Prayer Request

This is officially my last semester of school. Can you repeat after me? YIPPEE!!! Not only am I so excited about being finished I'm pretty sure my husband is possibly more excited. School is so hard on us. It's hard on our communication abilities, it's hard on ability to spend time together, plain and simple it is just hard overall on our marriage. Personally I am tired! Tired of school, tired of trying to balance life outside of school, you know the little thing called my family. I am just exhausted. But with only 123 days to go I have to find a way to muster up the energy and will-power to get through all of it.

All that being said I know there is only one way I am going to make it through this semester. That would be by leaning on God. At house church, which is like Small group, we talked about giving our whole self/life to God and what that would look like. I am still pretty unsure exactly what that looks like just because that is such a hard concept to me. But for now I feel like it looks like being a better wife to my wonderful husband. It means to stop putting him on the back burner and pay attention to his needs. He is so amazing to me and I fall very short of showing him how much I appreciate him.

I know this post may not make since to many people or it may. I don't really know. It is more a way for me to type out how I am feeling right now. It is also a way for me to hold myself accountable. I want to be a wonderful wife, mother, student. Unfortunately my priorities have been a little bit backwards. So from now on I want to lean on God a lot more, be a better wife, and really set my priorities correctly.

Oh and one last thing...We have some friends that have just learned that their brother-in-law, Kyle, has cancer. They are not sure what kind or even where all it is. They do know that it is in more than one body system. The doctors plan on doing a biopsy later on this week to find out more specifics. Anyway, Kyle is 31-year-old husband and dad to 3 children. Please pray for him and his family during this very hard time.
