Somehow, the Lord will always make sure you are on the right path. Even if that means he surprises you extra money to get you where you need to be. I have been receiving impressions that I needed to continue on with my schooling, and wasn't quite sure how to go about it. A few weeks ago we received a check in the exact amount needed to pay for school and go out to dinner. So we did just that. After a lovely trip to the salad bar, I enrolled in an online program to pursue two teaching certificates. At the same time, a coworker of mine did as well. And I found out another of my coworkers had recently finished the program. So not only did the Lord provide me with the means to go to school, but he also gave me a study buddy and a mentor!
Well I certainly have my testimony of paying tithing now!!!!
This program is super exciting. I work at my own pace, but I know that I can finish this by August.
When I finish this program, I will be certified to teach special education at any grade level, as well as any exceptional student. I will also receive my elementary education teaching certificate.
I have had a really rough time lately. I am so glad to see 2009 go. I know that sometimes everyone has to experience adversity, but I think I forgot that. I was so prideful and angry that I had trials that many people go through. And my suffering helped no one because I was bitter. Only when I realized that did things start to get better. I have always been given what I need, and that is so much better than what I wanted.
I am a lucky girl. I love my family. I love my husband. I love my job. I love my students. I love my friends (even those I seemed to have lost touch with.) I love the gospel! What else could matter in life?

Taci...I'm happy to read this post. First off, I want to know more about this online program because I want to continue my education. Second, I'm happy you are happy and I really want to have you come out here and have dinner. I'm sorry the other weekend fell through. This weekend we are booked and next weekend family is coming up. Assuming I don't have a baby the weekend after that I would love to have you two out for dinner. I'll text you. Peace out kid.
This post is uplifting and a fast realization for me too. I feel bitter sometimes and forget that these trials are helping me, and if the Lord wants me to do something he will make it work so that I can. Although, its frustrating when the things that I want me to do are not working...but this is an awakening that you shouldn't always do what you want, but rather what the Lord wants for you, and you will always be happy in the way that he guides for you! Thanks Taci!
