Musings

As I embark upon yet another attempt to secure another degree, I must remember to stay focused. There is so much that tugs at my attention. I still have several jobs that I must care for: the university, church, convention, district, and family. The key to my successful completion of this degree will be my staying focused. It is like juggling.
I have a set of juggling balls, but I have never learned how to juggle. No, they just sit there in the package looking at me each time I enter my workroom. I oftentimes look back at them, but they are far from my mind. It is not necessary to learn how to juggle those balls when I have so much other stuff to juggle. It is the other things that comprise important things in my life. None of them must fall by the wayside and be shattered as they go down.
My education bill has been paid. I don’t want to waste my money again. The school was kind enough to give me credit for previously paid tuition and a discount for paying in full. Now it is up to me to stay on track, but I am already having trouble staying focused. This time, however, my approach is different. I am more focused. But I must also create a written plan of study, a schedule. I can’t just buy the books and let them sit around. Too much lies at stake this time. I am older and wiser. I will finish the good work that has been started in my heart. While I am tempted to quit because of the problems that have surfaced in my life, I will stay the course and cross the finish line, even if it is on my knees. Oh, what a place to be!
