What do you do?

So, when your kids grow up and move out and you have been a stay-at-home-mom, what do you do?  I figured I would just crochet, knit, cross stitch, etc for the rest of my life.  Sounded good to me.  Instead, I was prompted to go to school to be a psychologist.  Ok.  So, I enrolled at the local community college.  Spent 2 years working on a degree in general studies, and then planned to transfer to a local university.  My last semester was very rough.  My migraines were just getting so bad.  I ended up dropping out.  I was devastated.  Why would my Heavenly Father want me to go to school if he wasn't going to help me to finish?  I still don't know.

A couple years later, I found another school I could attend.  I could do my whole degree online!  Now there is an answer to prayer!  I didn't have to worry about not making it to class because of a migraine.  I enrolled.  I spent two years there, struggling so bad.  In hindsight, I should have lightened my class load.  I just didn't know how to do that and still keep my financial aid.  Trying to get ahold of people who could help was a horror story in itself.  So, I dropped out.

I was still wondering why Heavenly Father would have me do this if I wasn't going to be able to finish.  I guess I will never know.
