Prayer Requests

Here I am, ready to run (figuratively, of course) errands with the children. Got my TPN bag and new pink camelbak. Even those few moments outside were way too hot! Texas is giving me a heat beating this summer. Never thought I'd see the day when I'd say I missed cold weather since D.C. winters were way too awful. I sure am thinking it though!

Please continue to pray for me. Here's what's on my mind.

• I'm waiting for my Oral Rehydration Solution to come in the mail, and it's not particularly tasty...even though I'm allowed to flavor with Crystal Light, but in the meantime, the Camelbak is filled with water. I'm doing better about drinking sips, since that blue tube hanging over my shoulder is a constant reminder, but I am still throwing up, even this morning. I'm so tired of throwing up.

• I will begin the 2-week alternating antibiotics sometime this week. (See previous post for further details)
  
  
• Additionally, I'm considering trying to go back to school once Jeff finishes up his Ph.D. classes next year, provided I can do it health-wise. You might be thinking that I'm as bad as my dad - - he's already got a Ph.D. and is now working on a D.Min. Glutton for punishment is that man. I do already have an M.A. in Christian Education, but you know my love for literature. I want to do a master's in English with the final goal of studying Southern Lit and Southern Studies at Ole Miss in a doctoral program. I've discovered an online program that I'm looking into for graduate work. I wouldn't have to be in a classroom, and I can run to Coco anytime I need, which suits me remarkably well. I need a personal goal to work towards, so please just pray that the Lord will show me a way and provide scholarships or grants when that time comes, if indeed, this is something I ought to be considering in the next year.
  
  
• After Jeff's sermon last night, I've committed to try and reach 6 people in the next year to invest in spiritually. Pray that the Lord will show me who and provide the time and energy for me to do it.
