Changing careers

I think I want to go to law school. What am I thinking? I really do, though. In all this stuff surrounding the new immigration law and being a Spanish teacher and seeing how this affects students and families, I really want to help these people take the steps to be here legally. It breaks my heart.

I'm not saying that they aren't breaking the law, and I understand that some immigrants are dangerous people. But in researching today, lots of first-born Americans (parents were illegal) and those who came here illegally but then got proper papers and citizenship have gone on to be some of our nation's best inventors, writers, doctors, etc.

They come here for hope, promise of a better life. Jesus said we are to love our neighbors and not turn away the foreigner. I want to be an immigration lawyer to help this community get the necessary help and paperwork processed so they can start their lives over in a better place.

He wants me to write

He wants me to write. I don't know what I'm supposed to write about but lately I have had many signs and dreams and overwhelming instances that God is putting in my path. It has not been revealed to me what I should write about but I am just going to start because that's what I feel I need to do.

I am a Christian woman who loves the Lord. I was raised in a Church of Christ family but now I am a member of a United Methodist church. I have had many lessons in my life and I'm still learning. After all, He's not finished with me yet. There is still something for me to do here on this Earth.

I need lots of prayers and I am praying myself for the revelation of my topic - the "it" that I feel I am being urged in so many ways to write. I love to write. I always have. I have written several children's stories, one of which I self published and illustrated. I sent another manuscript to a company who needed a large investment from me that I have fallen short of providing. It was also a children's story. These stories will be shared one day. Maybe that's it. Maybe God really wants me to finish publishing that one or change it a little. I don't know. I just don't know.

I need to change the name of this blog if I'm going to truly write down my thoughts and ideas. One Crafty Lady just doesn't get it. I'll pray about that too. In the meantime, I think I'll just change it to something simple.

Have a blessed day!
