I am blown away that it's almost October and I have already been in my graduate program for a month now! Time flies by! I have to say to be honest, there are times (more often than I care to admit) where I don't even know what day of the week it us I just know that I have to work or go to class.
For being a structured person, this rigorous and hour-by-hour schedule I have is become a little too routine! haha I am beginning to get nostalgic and going back to the days where I'd have midnight runs to get "fro-yo" or late night walks on campus. Now I try my best to be in bed by 10ish so I get get up for work and try and stay awake for 6 hours of class that night. Wow, so this is what adult life is like?! haha
I am enjoying my classes and it has really given me a strong desire to work with people even more. I just hope that my program will go by as fast as this last month has. I'm picking up a 6th day at work just to get a little ahead financially so I'm able to save some for emergencies. Also, I am going to start a counseling ministry program that is about to start at Sandals Church which is a HUGE answer to my prayers regarding ways to serve more in my church in an area I feel God has blessed me with. Please pray for endurance and strength as I try to give my all to each of these opportunities!
The thumb is doing much better! Just healing now and stitch free (thank the Lord!) Can't wait to fully be able to grip things again...I'm getting that golf itch--can't believe it's already been almost 5 months since I've touched a club! Just hope I can find a day to just mess around and play some.
Jovan and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at the beginning of this month and Jovan surprised me with a romantic dinner at a place called Peophe's in Coronado and it looked over the whole bay at night. It was gorgeous. We spent the whole weekend relaxing and we went and saw Inception at the theaters and just enjoyed some quality time together! Following dinner, we exchanged gifts and Jovan got me two amazing books, one about prayer that I'm really enjoying and the other is a daily bible reading tool :) I loved it! I made Jovan two jars full of quotes, scriptures, and little notes and challenges from me so he can have something to start of his days at work :)
We had a wonderful time and I cannot believe it's already been a year! Thanks for all your prayers and support! Till next time <3
