A Little Past Due

I would say that it is definitely time for an update on here!
I know there are not a whole lot of people who follow me on this but for those of you who do I am sorry that I have been so bad at keeping this up to date.

So let me begin by saying that this semester has been one of the most HECTIC semesters EVER!! My goodness...! My classes are going well though, so far atleast :) I am taking a few classes that are defintely pushing my brain to learn, and in all honesty I am finding myself to where I am lacking the motivation and heart to do my work. I have been helping several people here at school with their math and some other subjects and for some reason I like helping them and do not mind helping with their homework but when it comes to me doing my own homework I just have no motivation to do it. Despite this, I am still getting it done! Praise the Lord I am not completely sucked dry of motivation.
Along with my classes there is softball! Oh you got to love College Sports...I hope you can sense a little sarcasm in that statement haha. Softball for me is definetly a LOVE/HATE relationship! There are some days where I love it, and other days I just want to quit. With the Langston Softball team there is always something happening. There are times when I think that nothing else could go wrong and then the next day something else happens...but at the same time because of all the obstacles that happen to us, the players have come together and really become a family this year. My thought on it all is this...
      
Softball is like life in a lot of ways...the more curve balls a pitcher throws at you, the better you get at driving that pitch oppo. (In softball language that is hitting it to right field :) )...in the same way the more obstacles you face in life the stronger and more mature you get.

So we have had our issues but we are learning and growing together. We have been doing really well this season and I am excited to see how the rest of season plays out! Right now our record is 10-9, and we are going on the road this weekend and playing three different schools, Southwest Assemblies of God (they are a conference team), Texas Southern, and Prairrie View.

With school and softball I don't have a whole lot of free time...but this semester I added another task. Why?...I have no clue haha. I will explain my thinking in a moment. I added on Tutoring for the school. The reason I did was because I get paid and I thought that the extra money would be nice so that I could use that to help with groceries and gas, and I like to help people and the school doesn't have very many kids who tutor in math and sciences. Had I known I would  be this busy I would NOT have signed up. Although tutoring takes up pretty much all of my free hours in the day and then after practice, I have found myself really enjoying being able to help the kids. I love the kids I tutor and it makes me so happy when they come to me and show me that they made an A on a math test :) Makes me think that maybe I should be a TEACHER :) haha.

Anyways, that is about it with my life. I do not have much free time to do much else and am really just trying to stay focused and get through this semester.

A Little more Updates:
JARROD is doing great and only has a little more than a month left until he is done with the program! I am so proud of him and praise the Lord everyday for helping with him.
David and Macy both competed in the National Homeschool Basketball Tournament and both their teams won the Gold Ball Championship !! WOOT WOOT, and a special shout out to Macy for getting MVP on her team! I am so proud of both of them and love being able to boast a little about them :) Lauren is busy as ever at UCO and I get to see her on occasion! Both my parents are doing well! I thank the Lord everyday for giving me the energy to wake up and conquer that day! Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!
