Busy, busy, busy

Welcome to my life:

I am a full-time teacher. I work with 17 children that I love more than anything. I dedicate time and energy to ensure that they have a complete and memorable education.

I am a full-time wife and homemaker. Daily I spend time in prayer for my husband. I pray for his leadership and I pray for my submission. I tend to the housework, laundry, etc thankfully with much of his help. :)

I am a part-time student. I am currently taking 9 credits of graduate classes. I am not motivated to do these and continually struggle with seeing these classes as valuable.

I am a math tutor. Recently I was asked to help struggling 1-4 graders with math after school. I do this twice a week.

I am God's child. I work on this daily. I try to know Him more and keep my heart focused on Him. I fall, I fail, I struggle. I want this role to be most important in my life....yet it so often gets crowded out.

BUSYNESS!!!!!!!!

Recently I have been meditating on scripture. In the past I would work on memorizing a verse for a period of time, but I never really meditated on it. Currently I am meditating on a verse that gives God all the credit for everything I do...which as you can see is a lot! The only reason I can do all those things and not loose my mind is because of the strength I receive from Him - the strength that I call to each morning when the alarm sounds. I am so thankful for that strength. So, while some days I feel like my mind is running in a million different directions, I know that God will work in and through me as all the while I am learning dependence on Him.

Thanks for the strength God...
P.S. Summer break is 52 school days away, and I can't wait.
