Could use some prayer

 Tomorrow we start back at school.  I am full of anxiety right now. Not only am I teaching new subjects, but we also have students that are staying home and doing on line work, so we have to do livestream for them.  I am not familiar with google classrooms and how to do all of this (it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks) so I would appreciate your prayers.  Then you put the COVID factor into the classroom as well, so everything is different.  If I can figure things out this week I think I will be ok. My schedule will be as follows

Early care

1st period cleaning or sub

2nd working with LSP students

3rd planning or sub

4th 6th A literature

lunch

5th cleaning or sub

6th 6B literature

7th Computer 7th grade (for this quarter then it changes to 8th and then 6th)

Help with MS volleyball 4:30-5:30

College

 I went with Josh Wednesday down to BJU.  He didn't really need me other than to help unload stuff, but I wanted to get out of the house.  Jacob, Jenna and I drove down Wednesday and spent the night.  Josh was able to go early because he had to work Thursday.  I am glad because the dorms were pretty empty and he could get in without the chaos.  Everyone else moves in today and tomorrow and due to COVID, they want only one person to help and then to leave campus immediately.  (again, we didn't have to follow that since we went early).  As soon as Josh saw some of his friends, and his girlfriend, we were chopped liver.......LOL!!  We went to dinner Wednesday night with Taelyn and her siblings and mom.  Thursday we pretty much ran Josh to get some things at Walmart and then said goodbye to him and Taelyn.  We left earlier than expected so we stopped at two outlet malls and then for lupper (lunch/supper).  I have to admit the house is a little empty now and I do miss him.  I didn't cry this time though!!  It is such a weird feeling.  I miss him, yet I am so happy for him.  Seeing him there at BJ just confirmed in my heart that is where he is supposed to be.  How could I want anything less for him?  He is where God wants him and although I am sad, it's where is his supposed to be!!

Sunflowers

Sunflowers just make me happy!  I was sad to hear that Dorthea Dix was not doing sunflowers this year and then I found a farm in Clayton, but I missed all their events.  I found this one from a post on FB and decided we would go.  We got there in Kenly right at 10 when the event opened and there were only a few people.  It was already hot so I knew we needed to take our pictures and get out of there!!  I liked this place because I believe they are Christians and they let you cut flowers for $1 a piece.  One of these sunflower pictures is here at my house in the vase.  They had three different kinds of sunflowers and although the plants weren't as tall, the flowers seemed to be bigger.  I didn't include a picture of the brown sunflowers.  I picked one, but I really like the others.
