Faster

I feel like life is going way too fast right now. I wake up, I get ready, I leave, I work, I come home, I go to bed and then wake up and do it all over again. I can hardly wait for November first so I get some time at home in the evenings! I honestly don't know how people live like this on a regular basis. And every year we help at the maize it seems to go faster.... It's sad that at noon on Wednesday I am looking forward to Saturday morning because I will get to sleep in a little and then work around our house with my husband.
We have so MUCH to do and so LITTLE time to get it done in....Lord, bless our time! :)

I have a longer post in the works, more of a learning one...until then! :)

Ahead

I am stuck in a perpetual loss of sleep cycle...the Maize does this to me every year. I don't know why I thought I could stay ahead of it this year. Oh well.
I love the people out at the Maize (the adult employees, not the customers or even the teenage employees). I think that is one of the main reasons we "get suckered into" helping every year.
I am SO GLAD they only have three weeks of being open Wed-Sun this year. That means the last three weeks of the Maize (one of which is over now, YAY!) are the only truly all-consuming ones.

Tonight is the only night this week that we don't have to work. The next free evening I have will be Sunday. Sunday seems FOREVER away right now.

We are getting our new windows installed in our house on Sunday also (which means more lack of sleep, ugh). Hopefully Saturday morning we can get all of the furniture moved, the curtains taken down, and the garage doors painted so when they are done our house looks the way we want it to look.

One week and three days until the ARoad concert! :)

Two weeks and four days until our trip to Okyland to see B & D! :)

Plenty to look forward to, but I am oh so tired and just can't seem to get that excited about all of it right now...

Found a New Band/Group I like

I have discovered the group "Caleb & Sol". Their songs are amazing and I love their sound. Check them out at Caleb & Sol

What Can I Say?

YOU HAVE BEEN ON A LONG, UPHILL JOURNEY, AND YOUR ENERGY IS ALMOST SPENT. THOUGH YOU HAVE FALTERED AT TIMES, YOU HAVE NOT LET GO OF MY HAND. I AM PLEASED WITH YOUR DESIRE TO STAY CLOSE TO ME. THERE IS ONE THING, HOWEVER, THAT DISPLEASES ME: YOUR TENDENCY TO COMPLAIN. YOU MAY TALK TO ME AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY OF THE PATH WE ARE FOLLOWING. I UNDERSTAND BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE THE STRESSES AND STRAINS THAT HAVE AFFLICTED YOU. YOU CAN VENTILATE SAFELY TO ME, BECAUSE TALKING WITH ME TEMPERS YOUR THOUGHTS AND HELPS YOU SEE THINGS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.
COMPLAINING TO OTHERS IS ANOTHER MATTER ALTOGETHER. IT OPENS THE DOOR TO DEADLY SINS SUCH AS SELF-PITY AND RAGE. WHENEVER YOU ARE TEMPTED TO GRUMBLE, COME TO ME AND TALK IT OUT. AS SOON AS YOU OPEN UP TO ME, I WILL PUT MY THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND AND MY SONG IN YOUR HEART.
~JESUS CALLING (October 9th, based on Jeremiah 31:25 and Philippians 2:14-15)
