The last day of spring break...

And I am really not excited to go back. I did manage to get my car cleaned today, which is a super mommy success. And I am going to bed with my dishes done and all Zen's clothes clean, which is always a nice feeling.

I also got the playgroup online now. http://www.myspace.com/PuebloPlayGroup
So I feel rather productive. Also, it has been confirmed that food stamps can be used to purchase vegetable plants as well as seeds. So I now have a potted peppermint plant in my window, and it is making my house smell fresh and springtimy! (I cannot wait until it gets big enough to start drying some sprigs for peppermint tea!)

I had gotten a scholarship from my church to be able to go to women's retreat this month, and JaNyce agreed to watch Zen, and all my ducks were in a row, and then I realized that one of the visiting artist seminars that I had signed up for (in order to withdraw from a class I didn't need, and still keep all of my financial aid) fell on the same weekend. So I am not able to go. But my prayer is that somehow God is able to speak to me during this seminar too, and to use me for his plans now that things have changed. And I thank God for my wonderful church, and my wonderful school. My church family has bent over backwards to allow Christ to work wonders in my life, and to enable me to have experiences that I could not without them. They are amazing people of God! http://www.templepueblo.com/

My school is filled with professors who love what they do and are passionate about art, and their students. I am in a program that is forcing me to grow, think, and eveolve. It is making me question and search for answers. It places emphasis on being well-rounded, and allows me the opportunity to learn from not only the diversity of the tenured professors, but the wide range of visiting artists. I have taken seminars/classes regarding everything from video/performance art, cob and natural homebuilding, perfume making, and the ones I am signed up for this semester are calligraphic portraits, and site art/sculpture. http://chass.colostate-pueblo.edu/art/

And all in all, the people, and events in my life are shaping me into a person, Christian, mother, artist, and human being that I am excited to be. I am grateful for God's hand in my daily life, and to see that radiating into all corners of my human experience.

Thank you Lord!
