Where do the days go?
I find myself with only 5 more weeks left before I report for In-service duty on August 13th. I always dread when the official letter comes in the mail from my administrator. It says almost the same things every year and I know that my summer is on the slippery slope headed to the end.
I feel like I have accomplished some things this summer, but always feel like there is never enough time. I still have many people I want to do lunch with, many friends I want to have over many projects to complete, and lets' not forget the errands to run.
I battle everyday with the thoughts that I can either enjoy a lazy day around the house or accomplish something. Honestly, the battle rages in my mind. I find that when I do sit and do nothing, my mind is tortured with thoughts of things I ought to be doing. Then when I spend a day accomplishing things. my mind screams at me to enjoy this time, because the school year does not offer these times.
I guess the key is balance. I find that is the key to most things in life.
So, today, I have had my Bible study, did some laundry, ironed church clothes for tomorrow, took a bike ride with my kids and now have caught up on personal emails and my blog.
Now what do I do??????
To my readers...I apologize for a few days between blogs. I get computer burn out and don't want to sit here and type. I hate typing!!!! Mostly because I don't know how!
Enjoy the Lords Day tomorrow. No battles in my mind about what to do tomorrow - focus on HIM!!

Deanna you have such a way with words. That's why I love this blog. I'm so glad you're back to posting.
I hope you have a great 5 weeks. I hope that you accomplish much and relax too.
Daleine Wade told me one time that once the Fourth of July comes, it's basically all over. I hate to admit it but she's about right!
And I feel EXACTLY like you do about trying to get things done and trying to enjoy the time also.
For any of you reading Lois Evans' Book Seasons of a Woman's Life this reference from scripture on balance and time is a great reminder -- And to those of you who laugh when someone says they have heard God speak, remember it is the scripture He has given us to guide us daily where he SPEAKS to us!
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Listen to the voice of God as he speaks quietly on the moments you should spend in leisure as well as the moments you should spend in work and worship!
