The Show Must Go On....

or so they say.  My husband Jeremy has been working on a LARGE project this past semester, directing the Sound of Music for his school's highscool musical.  This is the big week which they have all been working towards!  He has been absent from home these past two week-ends so I have had a wee taste of single parenthood and it ain't grand.  I do look forward to attending one of the performances though and I think our kids will enjoy it as well.  Jeremy has commented on how the performers aren't always as dedicated as they should be.  Somehow they think even without showing up to practices that it will all 'come together' when the show opens.  Ah teenagers!  But aren't we all like that sometimes?  We think should get the final product NOW without having to go through the arduous process of growth and change.  The guest speaker at our church spoke yesterday about how short-sighted we are as Christians.  When we don't keep Christ as our head we can't see ahead properly to where we are headed.  Somehow I think I can make it through my day without Christ and accomplish homeschooling and housework successfully and with cheerful and obedient children. How far from being true that is! The show I am starring in must go on, even if it isn't usually a glamourous one.  Thank goodness I have the best director of all time to guide me!

Apr. 8, 2008 - I hear ya sister!

Posted by bestsister
I'm in that place of life again where I really need my sleep, so I don't want to wake up at 6am to have a QT. Except I'm so busy in the day that I don't have time elsewhere to have one. Except my job is so beyond me that I NEED that time to gain the strength of the Lord so I can do what He is calling me to do. So, do I have the faith to believe that what I glean from a 6am QT is going to be more energizing than 1 more hour of sleep? hmmmmm....

I'm feeling a bit of the same kind of "anything new? anybody out there?" feelings. Wish I could be the person dropping by you mentioned on my blog. Still loving you even from way over here. xoxoxox
