I was given this advice recently on how to approach my days. But what happens with you take just that day and work on just that days list of things to do and you can't get those done and it continues for several days...when do you eventually catch up??!! :) That's what I am facing right now. I spent two hours tonight cleaning my kitchen and I still didn't get it all done. Laundry so so time consuming here that it is just becoming the first mountain in town. ;) I thought maybe doing one load a day might be a good start but that hasn't even been able to happen. I'm not stressed with work I just constantly have a lot to get done.
To be honest the past few weeks have been a slight of struggle...okay this whole year has been quite the adjustment. I feel like there has been a lot of spiritual warfare going on these days, along with the seasons changing and here it is dark just before 4pm. I would have to say that during this time my time spent with God has increased which is an awesome thing to see. I also think this is just a time that I'm going to have to work through with God. It's not going to change over night...that's not going to help my apartment much. ;)
Last night I stayed at my directors house. I was able to sit and talk with her for awhile. It was nice to have a conversation with her about things going on in my head these days. We talked about what some of my ideas for the future are. She also laid her cards on the table as to what she hopes will happen. It wasn't anything new but I got to hear it straight from her and know what could be a possibility for the future, if I were to take her up on her offer. I've been a little lonely lately and it's been difficult to connect with people (partly some of the spiritual battle) so last night was helpful to sit and actually be with some who knows me the best around here.
Last week I had a classroom observation from my principal and it went great! She loved the lesson and we had fun talking about it afterwards. It was quite the different discussion of an observation than what I am use to. It was refreshing.
In other news, the group of American missionaries is working together to support a family for Christmas. They don't need much and so we are hoping that we can all pull together and provide and awesome Christmas for this little family. The youngest daughter at 3 yrs old has a brain tumor. When I was approached to pick this family my director explained what the family wants and is looking for. I was immediately ready to help. My director told me that the parents don't want anything for Christmas, just that the kids would be taken care of. What we do at Flatirons each Christmas came to mind! I don't want us to just do the bare minimum I want us to shower them with love and blow them out the water. This is going to be so much fun!
I hope all is well with you.....
