It's OVERRRRRR!!!

Graduate school is officially over for me!  I turned in my thesis on Tuesday (about an hour before the deadline)!  PRAISE THE LORD!  I have a completed Ed.S. degree!  71 hours!

This has been such a long, arduous journey, and I am so thankful to finally be freed from it.  I had so many moments where I never thought I would never get to the end, especially in the last few months when I was doing revision after revision after revision.

So... I don't have a job lined up.  That's been hard to deal with this summer.  I'll admit that I'm a bit guilty of being very plan-oriented.  :)  This summer has been full of tears, moments of doubting my worthiness, and times of feeling deserted in certain areas.  Because I didn't have my thesis finished and so many applicants for just a few school psychology positions, I really didn't have a chance of getting a position.  Well, I take that back.  I had the option of a school system that was an hour and half away from home, and I just didn't feel at peace with taking a position so far away,  knowing that it would be really exhausting and stressful... and I didn't feel like it was fair to my husband to leave him with all the responsibilities.     :)

I've come a long way, in the past few months.  I'm feeling much more at peace with the way things have gone.  I feel like God is giving me a much needed break.  I still need a job just to help pay some of our bills so I'm still praying for something to work out soon.  This experience has been humbling in a  lot of ways.  I'm getting firsthand experience with how difficult it is to get a good job in this economy.  

I don't really know what's going to happen next, but I'm faithful that God will provide for us.  :)
