• Sep. 7, 2008 - Personal Stuff

Things have been very busy here. School this year is more teacher intensive. My new housekeeping plan is not working since we added school to our days.

Our "regular' activities are sneaking away my time and then you add the extra stuff...
The boys have scouts on Monday nights. I have Bible Study on Tuesday nights. We have home group on Friday nights. We are starting the Financial Peace course by Dave Ramsey on Sunday nights for 12 weeks. Mei has Girl Scouts on Friday afternoons. Both kids have Enrichment through our homeschool association twice a month on Tuesday afternoons. I host a monthly Saturday crop.

Then there is field trip planning for our homeschool association - once the initial push is over, it should slow down.

I am helping to plan a ladies' retreat for church. We are covering the highlights of the book As Silver Refined by Kay Arthur. I have several presentations to prepare. The retreat is less than 2 weeks away.

My Creative Memories business is taking off. In fact, I am meeting with someone this week about them signing up as a consultant. It is good to make money, but it too takes my time. On a side note, I devoted this past Saturday to scrapbooking and got 22 pages done in my 2007 album. Yay! That was May through September! See, even consultants get behind...

Our neighborhood women's club starts meeting this month. I am responsible for updating and printing the neighborhood directory. At least that is over by November!

I am feeling overwhelmed. Then there are blog posts to write and blogs and emails to read. No wonder one of my friends enjoys limiting her involvement in things.

Then there are all those projects around the house waiting to be done...

I would like to start a new Bible-based study called Character Makeover. Christian Women Take Root is starting it on Sept. 22. I think it can be really beneficial and yet, it might take too much of my time right now. More prayer needed here! If I do this, I plan to blog my daily thoughts on my blog in CWTR, so come join me there to read it.

God gave me the answer today. It is the same answer he showed me months ago. I needed to be reminded once again. Spending time with God and obeying the Spirit develops the Fruits of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Gal. 5:22 & 25. I feel the need especially for self-control and so I recommit to spending time with God this week.

So did you like this blog post? Tell me if you want to read this personal stuff or not...

...this is a great blog post! It's always fun to catch up and hear what's going on in other people's lives. See, I didn't know you were a CM dealer. I learned something new!
