Fall already?


Wow. I can't believe it's September already. I've just recently completed my seminar on biosensors for the early detection of cancer. I am currently taking the last class I will ever take!!! Surface Analytical Chemistry-sounds exciting I know. I started the graduate program in Jan. 2006 and I am now almost 2 years in. I will graduate in December with a Master's, and finish the PhD around 2 years later. It is really flying by.

Emma and Sara Kate are getting so big. Emma is in the advanced 4 year old class and the teachers have asked to move her up. I am waiting until next year and maybe she can just skip kindergarten. Sara Kate is starting to do everything herself now. She is potty trained and now just goes to bed when she is told. She doesn't need the drawn out nightly routine like she did as a baby. It's sad really. My girls aren't babies anymore.

God has been so faithful in bringing me this far. I never thought I could get through my recent literature seminar in front of the whole department without passing out. I had people praying for me and it was obvious. I stepped into the lecture hall and all nervousness dissipated instantly. I knew right then that if God could switch off my nausea and anxiety that quickly, that He would make the words come out as well-He did. Even during Q & A the fear was gone. I am so thankful, because I couldn't do it alone. Thank God I don't have to.
