God is awesome! The number "8" in the Bible represents new beginnnings and resurrection power. My heart, mind, and spirit are filled and overflowing with great expectations for this new year.
Before the Christmas holiday, I was offered a customer service work-at-home position which I gladly accepted. Also, on January 14, I started a full-time online medical transcription program which is fully paid for via Financial Aid. I will complete this program around November 2008, and then I will finish the task of completing my degree in English/Communications via an online program.
Also, my son's homeschooling is going well. We joined a secular homeschool support group earlier this month; the next day, we attended a Christian homeschool support group meeting. I was extremely excited, as I thought the Christian group would be the answer to my prayers. However, it was a highly disappointing experience for my son as well as myself.
So for now, we are going to take full advantage of all that the secular group has to offer. I still have thoughts of starting a Christian group that meets in the city and has activities in the city, but the Lord has not opened that door yet.
This past Thursday, my son and I went to the Chicago Children's Museum, and my boy had a ball "digging for dinosaur bones," climbing, "driving" the emergency ambulance, etc. In his words, "I had a great day!"
Everything I wanted to do in the past is now being done, i.e., being home with my son, homeschooling, working from home, and continuing my education. There is a time and a season for everything, and this is the appointed time and season. Glory to God!

Hey,
My daughter, age 9, has Asperger's Syndrome. I am on your homeschool support group list. I just wanted you to know I will be praying for you and if there's any questions, please feel free to ask me.
Having a child with Asperger's can be a challenge, but it has its many rewards, which make it all worth everything!
There is a book called "All Cats Have Asperger's." It helps me on the bad days, with meltdowns, etc. It's hilarious and helps you to look at Asperger's with a sense of humor and some hope.
