I'm totally bummed. I made an 80 on the geography exam. An 80. I thought I did so much better than that. But an 80? I mean, I know it's still a B, but gah. An 80! Sheesh. So, a lot on my mind lately. Luckily, I've been able to hash it over with a lot of people. That's how I learn things--talking through them. I discovered this by hashing something out with Anne Marie once. I met with Katie today. Well, sort of. I went to the church and helped her prep for the Romans class that is tonight thru Wednesday night. And I was able to talk about a lot of things that have been going on in my life lately. So nice. I heart Katie. :-) I realized a few weeks ago that I had not mentioned anything on my blog about my sabbatical. Yes, another one. This one is scheduled to be 7.5 months long. We shall see. More on that tomorrow. ♥, Tiffany Anne

Today was such a wonderful day. The kids decorated cards for their dad, we had a play date with Sharon & Francesca, and Janelle came home early! It was a good day. Every minute made the day better. Shepherding Group was just wonderful. We discussed the Truth Project a bit and then talked about James 2. (I'm lovin' my new Bible! Three cheers for massively extensive notes!) Afterwards, we shared a ton of prayer request and grouped up and went to pray. I prayed with Katie. I was thankful for her because there were things I had been wanting to talk with someone about and I was able to open up and share with her. It was so incredibly helpful. Praying was difficult though! There were dogs yapping and so the first thing that came out of my mouth was, "Dear Lord, I'm going to pray for focus. I find it hard enough to focus usually but these dogs are making it really hard! So, please give me focus." The dogs didn't stop yapping, but I was able to focus. :-) I stayed...
