bad dream or nightmare?

Last night I couldn't stay asleep.  I kept waking up and each time I did I would be doing a math problem in my head.  I tried and tried to stay asleep but it wasn't working.  I would wake up and think about my math homework.  It was like I was half asleep and half mentally working on my assignment.  I would fall back asleep quickly but then wake right back up.  I finished chapter 6 post test and got a 91% and now am able to move on to the next chapter.  But is it Geometry.  OH NO.  It scares me.  Angles and shapes and degrees and plotting on the number line.  I started in on the chapter last night after kids were asleep.  And I was totally lost.  I kind of like algebra and I enjoy equations and it gets pretty fun when you finally figure out how to do it.  Geometry, for some reason, just doesn't make sense to me.  I will continue on and I will get it.  I WILL.

SO yesterday I got a call from the school.  They hired me (over the phone) for a substitute para.  I am SO excited.  I love love love volunteering in my daughters class and it is so rewarding.  I almost feel like those kids in her class are 'my kids'.  I get hugs from a few of the kids and they get so excited when I come to help out.  Now I can get a lot of experience in all grades and see which one I enjoy the most.  I am a bit nervous about how I am going to juggle school and work but I know I can do it with the Lords help and when I put Him first things will work out for good just like in this scripture I read during scripture study this morning.......It was in a conference talk by Elder Holland (one of my favs).

In D&C 90:24 it reads:

 Search adiligently, bpray always, and be believing, and call things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly and remember the dcovenant wherewith ye have covenanted one with another.

I focused on "all things shall work together for your good".  I don't believe that means everything is going to be hunky dory.  God is the one who KNOWS what is best for us.  And I truly believe that is what the scripture is saying.  All things (according to what God knows) will work together for our good.  But that promise is conditional.  It is according to how we live.  It states that "if we walk uprightly and remember the covenant wherewith ye have covenanted one with another".
