Since I have been invited to join my graduate program’s honor society (Yay!) I’ve been all excited about the programs that I would like to organize. But…before I can do any of that I have to figure out how my sons and I will be able to participate in the induction.
See…the main reason why I wanted to be in this honor society, aside from how great it will look on my resume, is the fact that I want my sons to witness the induction ceremony so they will learn to expect this type of success for their lives. I really want them to have this memory of me standing there looking all cute and accepting my award at a fancy dinner.
The only catch: The dinner is in Orlando in two weeks and the tickets cost $20 per person. They sprung this on me just last week and I have no idea how I will come up with gas money to drive to Orlando, toll money to pay the tolls, money for food while we’re there PLUS the money for the tickets. I’ve already called Anna to ask if we could stay at her house for the night and she said yes. So now all I have to do is BELIEVE for the funds to come in…
I’ve already seen a sign that we will be going because my job gave me another shift for this week and I’m believing wholeheartedly that more of my eBooks will sell and/or somehow someone will pay me for my creative services…
I INTEND to go to this banquet with my sons and take pictures and have a great time.
It WILL happen.
I am grateful for the trip.
We will be safe and happy and well fed.
Amen.
