Today is the first day of this new venture in my life. What will it become. It's slightly mysterious to me this journaling where others might read it and opening myself up for comments.

I wonder how long my excitement about it will last. Probably until another new volunteer opportunity comes my way and I am unable to say no. I am overwhelmed repeatedly as I overcommit myself to projects.

Currently, I am in the final two weeks of planning VBS at our church. Something I love, as I am a planner. But, not so great when the last minutes are ticking away. I am also in the midst of packing my two darling children for their 2 week vacation in Florida with my mom. Which, you might think would be something to look forward to for me. Being childless and therefore supposedly more FREE. I, however, find myself missing them already.

God allows me all the time I need. But, I seem to fight Him for the right to plan it according to my schedule and my priorities. My new goal is to spend some of that time in meditation and listening to His voice. The small still voice that exists in my soul.

Pray for my mom and her husband. Ethan, Maddy and Hope are sure to be a handful.
