Hi everyone, I'm new to the board.
I'm starting to realize that I can't do everything by myself. I've recently begun to look to higher powers to help me through some tough times.
This past summer, I was trying to cram in a few courses so that I could get into a second year program at school. At 27 years old, I had quit my job back in January and was looking to persue my dream by going back to school and getting a degree in something I loved. Well, things happened, I failed one class because it was just too much for me, and ended up with a low enough average to possibly get me kicked out of the program. It wasn't because I didn't try, and actually, I didn't have all my first year courses, so it was kind of unfair that I was being singled out, but nevertheless, there I was, writing the Dean a letter, explaining why I should be allowed back in.
I remember sitting in the office, waiting to hear my results, and I said a little prayer. As I finished, and looked up, the counselor was there with the letter from the Dean, asking me to come in the office. As we sat down, she said, it was good news, and I was good to go!
Well, by getting back into school, by getting this chance, I promised to be a better, happier person. Sometimes, I failed at this miserably. I feel bad, like I didn't live up to my end of the deal, you know? Now, however, I am facing a much greater hurdle.
Recently I became aware of some skin spots/moles I have on my body, and I just thought I'd better go get them looked at. I asked the Lord to watch over me, and give me good health through all of this. Today I had my appointment, and the doctor said my moles/spots looked okay, but there was one he would like to remove, because it did cause him a bit of concern. However, he said in a roundabout way that it wasn't anything serious. Well, I am worried and concerned about it, and now more than ever I realize that I do need help from higher powers.
Ever since I've started to ask for guidance and strength from higher powers, I've noticed myself becoming a better person without even trying.
Anyways, I just thought I'd share my story!
Hugs,

Welcome to the board Vicky,
Going back to school is no small feat! I tackled this myself the past four years and graduated in May! I now have a good job, a new place to live, and relocated my family to a new city to pursue our dreams. It was VERY hard at times and I had a lot of difficulties but I did it and am very proud of myself. You should be proud of yourself too!!
I feel that I had help along the way and am grateful for every bit of it ;)

Welcome :-)
I find that communicating with the powers that be and wanting to represent my denomination in a good light drive me to be a better person.
