So, I am almost done with this semester. To be honest, I dont want it to end. I feel like I am learning tons of useful information and techniques. I really love nursing school. I am looking forward to the summer though so I can have a chance to work. We really want to pay off my car and save some money so Sean wont need to work so much next semester. He will be starting the bilingual teaching credential program and I would love it if he didnt need to work full time like he has been. I want him to get everything he can from this program. I am so proud of him. He works so hard, and has had hardly any time to just relax and hang out with friends. He is amazing. I feel guilty sometimes because i am not working this semester. I am busy with school, but I have more down time than he does...and I feel bad. Hopefully I can find a job as a CNA and work full time over the summer and then 2 days a week during the semester. We will see...I am trusting in God for this...because if I have learned anything in my life it is to trust in God...fully...because he will never leave me or forsake me and has proven himself faithful not only in my life but throughout history. He is good.

I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su...
