I turned 55 - one week ago today. And I'm going to college in the fall...for the first time.
It's all online but it's college nonetheless.
I'm going to study Psychology with a focus on Biblical counseling.
I want to help people but in order to do that, I need tools. I want to listen effectively.
I want to advise wisely and it's important to me to do that in the light of God's Word.
I'm excited and scared all at the same time.
I think I have to take both an English and Math assessment. I'm not too concerned about English but Math?? The last math class I was in was 9th grade algebra in 1980.
Its going to be interesting to say the least.
So, I figured as I navigate through school and life as a 55 year-old grandma, it might be a great time to pick up my blog and bring anyone along for an interesting ride.

It's Been A While!
Somehow life has gotten away from me! My last post was February 14 and amazingly enough, 6 months have passed!!
I have been absent from blogging for a while because I've needed some new purpose. I think I have found something. My youngest child will be starting her senior year of high school in just a few weeks. My first child was born in 1985 and now, 27 years later, after raising 4 children, I am seeing an empty nest on the very near horizon.
I intend to fully enjoy this final year of "childhood" with Emily. I hope to create a host of wonderful memories. But deep inside, my mom's heart is hurting as I watch my youngest prepare to spread her wings and fly. I've been down this road three times already and frankly I dread it. It's so bittersweet.
So, I will hopefully be blogging regularly on my journey to an empty nest. There will be other stuff too but I figure if for no one else, it might just be extremely therapeutic for me.
So, ready or not, here we go!!!!!
