RESTLESS


Ahhhh I'm gonna go crazy! I feel like this crazy wind-up monkey that can't sit still and just meanders in circles.

1. Apparently our homestudy agency sent our completed homestudy to us BY REGULAR CERTIFIED POSTAL SERVICE....that means that our mail lady brought our homestudy to our house only to discover that it wouldn't fit in our mailbox so they took it back to the post office (not close to my house) and there it will remain for me to pick up even though the post office's hours are all the hours that I am at work, picking up our daughter, and going to an appointment. Ahhh...I think that I may just be able to get there tomorrow if I go out the side door of school as soon as possible and then head to the highway! I sure hope so. I don't like the idea of our homestudy just sitting in a far off post office.

2. I do not like tantrums...especially when strong 4 year old girls have them. I am exhausted. I was so worn down by a said tantrum today that I actually cursed in front of my mother and grandmother! Seriously....it was bad.

3. I feel like I am losing my mind at school. I teach 6 different topics to 6 different grades all day long with an occasional 5 minutes in between. I am tired of hauling all of my materials all over the place. I know it will get better with time but this week...it feels exhausting.

4. Some of you know that my husband, Brian, has been applying for jobs doing what he really loves, being a youth pastor again. He applied for 2 in particular about a month ago and never heard anything....until last week when he heard from both of them in the same week and has had an interview with each of them in the past week already. Now....we just wait and see. Everything in my life is about waiting. It makes me feel crazy.

Today I had to get this off of my chest. Tommorrow I will post about a giveaway that I am going to do. We really really need to finish raising this money and we need your help. I'll let you know about that tomorrow. For tonight....I need to rest even though I am some kind of restless.

Lord, help me to rest in You.
Still my heart, hold me close
let me hear a still small voice.
Let it grow, let it rise
into a shout, into a cry

This is the song I have on repeat most of the day. If you haven't listened to Audrey Assad, then you need to. Her is a link to a youtube video that some other person made but it still has the songs so you can hear it. It's beautiful. It's called "Restless"....appropriate huh?
