What the Autumn Season Brings

I know it has been a while since I have last posted anything. This past week has been so busy that I just looked at my messages Thursday.

Right now I am adjusting to a life of temporarily being single again due to hunting/fishing seasons currently underway.

This past week I was working long days during my pediatric treatment rotation which makes me appreciate what parents with special needs kids really go through on a daily basis.

Darrel has been sick and it has been hard for me to take care of everyone and remember to take care of myself. I have had to take many bubble baths to retreat from the world just to regroup and start another day.

I have just realized that there are not many full time OT positions around here and even if there were, little to no benefits would be given. I know that the Lord will provide for me and my family, but I don't fully understand how the cards are going to fall next summer.

Darrel's new quarter has begun and it is difficult to have him take classes online without a professor to explain the details of the material. He is doing well and hopefully he'll just go through the motions and do well enough to get into his program.

This week has brought me to a more humble place. I have learned that there are many people who face bigger challenges than I will ever face and they are only a couple of months old.

The Fall always brings cooler weather, camp fires, and General Conference; however this Fall has brought me to a deeper desire to grow closer to the Lord and what He would want me to do for myself and my family.
