I have been too tired to blog. I mean seriously. This is a wonderful job and a blessed life, but honestly, it is one that just never seems to end. There literally is always somewhere I SHOULD or COULD be. It was both fun and overwhelming to end the evening (and by that, I mean the event started at 8 pm) with a potluck dinner with my small group leaders. SOO, a mere 14 hours after I trekked out of my house this morning, I am back and getting ready for tomorrow's 14+ hour marathon. WOOO HOOO ... coupled with last night's event, I will hit 40 hours ... about Wednesday morning.
OVERWHELMING. some. days. But it's
all mostly so good. And sometimes it's just all so necessary. And sometimes it costs more than others.
So, the thoughts I was thinking about Jonah will wait til a day when I can form more coherant thoughts. The run I was gonna take tonight will wait til another day. And I will think of the things I am thankful for today ... and go to bed grateful.
I'm thankful ...
* for time with the Daniel girls (minus Amy)
* for Christmas decor in the stores
* for great conversations at Faith in Practice (and for the opportunity to invest on that campus)
* for sincere joy that I could/would come to the potluck (made it sooo worth it!)
* for lots of diet coke
* for a peaceful staff meeting
* for a job to go to
* for a home to come back to

i love that you are back!!! Back to blogging that is :) i have been thinking so much lately about my life now v. my life as a bsm director, bsm director's wife. i am praying for you and those hours... oh, i understand those hours... and can i just be so honest and say that my life (my marriage) is so much healthier without those hours! isn't there something wrong with that? I need to keep thinking about it and praying about it. but just wanted to let you know that those hours (and not missing those hours) has been on my mind a lot lately.
