Well, one more work-day and we'll have a busy 3-day weekend. This evening Nick has his last soccer practice of the season. Tomorrow is his championship game (and thank goodness it will be warm this weekend). Sunday is preview service #3 for our church, and Nick has a birthday party to go to at Grand Prix (putt-putt/go carts, etc.).
So Monday will be stay-at-home-day! I have a ton of laundry to catch up on, and lots of things to do. I'm starting the SELF Challenge on Monday, and this year I'll stick with it because no major life changes are going to happen this Spring! (Like they have the past two years...) Also, starting in March, I'll be joining the HGTV "Get Organized" challenge, to do my Spring cleaning and all. I figure everything seems to be finally falling back into place for us, so it's time I get my health and my home in order. (I still have boxes to unpack and reorganize from our semi-recent re-relocation.)
Things are really going well. I feel like my normal self, and I haven't stressed over anything this week....which seems really abnormal for me now, but it's how I used to be two years ago, and I'm back!!! We are forming a plan to continue to make things better for our family, both short-term plans, and semi-long-term plans. (Like some changes to make NOW, and some steps to take to make things be at a certain place in a year, and in two years....that's as long-term as we can get for now, but it's a start.) I'm excited about how God's blessed us lately, and how He's just allowing our lives to be at peace for the first time in awhile. God is good, and after you've been through some trials you can see where He was leading...some steps have to be taken, even if they are painful, to get you going down the right path. There have been several treacherous bumps in the road along the way, but had they not happened, we'd still be sitting in our little parsonage, living our little life of complacency and wouldn't be starting out on this great adventure we're embarking on right now.
Speaking of journeys and adventures...it's time to get ready to go to work, which is always an exciting day when you work with a couple hundred kids!
