Another school year is rolling around and it is so busy. Richard actually started back to school today and I have a week to go. This time is always stressful for me as we prepare school for our students.
Even more, I am stressed trying to make a final decision about my dissertation. Alot has happened since I started the program, I completed my two years of course work and passed my comps. Then life happened.....and turned my plans into a funny joke as I am certain God got a good laugh...like I was really in control. Since passing comps, I have had two beautiful children and got married, now where would I have time to complete a dissertation? I took a leave of absence and now its time to either get it done or walk away completely. I would like to finish but my job as a mom and a wife are far more important than completing my dissertation. The question for me is can I do all these things without jeopardizing any of my time with my family.
I am ok with not finishing....it will be the first. I have never not finished something so that nudges at me a bit but it does not keep me up at night.
Do I know I will appreciate it even more if I get it done...yes but do I actually need it? Today I ask for prayer and guidance so that I can make a final decision on this situation.
