Growing
God is growing Bryan and I. Just when we thought it was time to hunker down and wallow beneath a pile of “to-dos” a mile long, God seems to be building us up and preparing us for future responsibilities. Amazingly enough, I don’t feel overwhelmed. I have come to fully believe that God really does only give us as much as we can handle.
My job has been particularly stressful lately and we had started discussing alternatives that would free up some of my time. Just when I though I couldn’t handle it any more, I have been given a few weeks reprieve and will be telecommuting for the most part. On the same note, I haven’t been getting exercise lately and it has affected my sleep and thus my health but now that pockets of time have opened up I can actually make it to the gym.
Another big breakthrough this week may seem insignificant to most of you but was a major hurdle for me. I wrote a paper on Monday that wasn’t due until Thursday. I am the world’s greatest procrastinator. My mind catalogs everything constantly so I don’t take many notes and I have trouble spitting out all those thoughts until hours before the paper is due. However, I am trying to break that habit, or at least not rely on it so much, and my reward is more time with my husband and the chance to get ahead in my readings. Hooray!

Congrats on finishing that paper early! That is honestly so commendable! And I am so glad you’re getting a bit of a break from as much work.
