"So often we dwell on the things that seem impossible rather than on the things that are possible. So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done." -Marian Wright Edelman
Our final blog for the year...until next year. We actually made it through. I recall during the first class meeting when we reviewed all the requirements for this course and the calendar of events. I remembered how my year started out hectic with work and I prayed that I could get through this semester with the amount of stress that I was encountering. However, as each month had passed, somehow I became more determined. When I stopped focusing on the negative and all the things to be done, the weight on my shoulders became lighter. There are many things that I have to be thankful for. First, praise the Lord for his blessings. Second, I am thankful for having such a positive, supportive "Team MAGECR." We went through our different levels of anxiety and stress...but we went through it together! Finally, I am thankful for family and good health. "God Bless everyone."

Whooo! Scrabble tiles! That's my favorite game. Amen to the Lord helping us in all circumstances. I was praying a lot too for all to work out this semester. He is our rock. Have fun getting ready for 644.
