Little Miracles

I feel very humbled and grateful today. Since I signed up for classes over a month ago, I've been worrying about the schedule once college starts. One of the classes I thought I had to take started at 8 a.m. My morning routine is that I take Kelly to seminary at 6:40, go home and finish getting the kids ready to pick her up by 7:30. I then drop Kelly off at 7:40 at Hoover, Joe off at 7:50 at Tenaya, and Johnny and Laine off at 8:00 at Gibson to catch the buses for their respective schools. I couldn't see how I was going to get to a class that started at 8 am, and I've been thinking about it and praying about it.

Yesterday, out of the clear blue sky, someone at Fresno State called me and told me that they were reviewing my classes as a transfer student, and noticed that I had signed up for a class that met a requirement that I'd already completed at Fresno City College. Hooray! I don't have to take the 8 am class and can take a class that meets another requirement instead! And it starts at 9:30 instead of at 8:00. How blessed can I be?

I had been frustrated while trying to sign up for classes because it kept saying that I needed to meet a certain requirement and take an assessment test. Well, based on the conversation with the lady at Fresno State, I also discovered that this problem has been rectified, and I can now sign up for upper division classes and do not have to take Calculus or the assessment test.

Both of these things are "little miracles" to me, tender mercies of the Lord that demonstrate that even in the face of my own helplessness, he can make things happen that bless my life and let me know that he loves me.

I feel this is further spiritual confirmation of my decision to go back to school, and God blessing me because of my efforts to do what I felt he had asked of me. I hope he will similarly bless me in my efforts to get my business off and running so that I can continue to attend classes and be a mom.
