This is my current situation.
There's a broken mirror that fell off our wall (I want you to know I just typed wheel instead of wall because Oregon Trail is on my brain- more about that later) days ago, and it's still sitting on our table. Yes that's fried chicken on my salad, and no it is not Whole30 approved, and I'm not even sure (who am I kidding- I know) it's "clean". This is the humpteenth time we will have eaten out this week. My meal plan for this week was quite a waste of ink. There is paperwork at the end of the table that I've yet to fill out. I had this grand idea for a Mother's Day gift for my students. It didn't turn out quite as grand as I had hoped. There may or may not be pictures involved. Let's just say on my phone everything looked normal. On the prints children's heads are cropped out. I left school at 8:00, and there are still three undone to do lists .And still life is wonderful. Theres a dishwasher full of dishes. There's a floor that needs to be swept. There is laundry that needs to be completed. There are papers that need to be graded. There are cards to be written and people to visit. There is sleep to be had. and still life is wonderful. I am struggling with this. Clutter drives my bonkers. I love vacuum lines, and currrently my collage wall has a large empty spot where a mirror once hung. I'm a crazy lady when it comes to things being tidy. And you see my classroom, car, and house are currently in dissaray, and well my eyes are starting to twitch. I thrive off schedules, to do lists, plans, cleanliness, and my Erin Condren planner. However, this week hasn't fit that mold. Its the end of the school year, and for all you teachers out there, how is it that everything falls at the end of the year??? Why do I always do this to myself? Grades are almost due, Poetry Cafe is coming up, Oregon Trail is tomorrow, field trip this week, and we had a visit from upcoming third graders this week. I also got sick this week. Sick enough that while I was home, I actually didn't do school work. Ok, I emailed and worked on report card comments, but other than that, and well while doing that, I was totally stationary. And still life is wonderful. I can let this totally bog me down, or I can sit on my couch, shoes still on, and bask in the glory of all these blessings, and even more so, just sit st the feet of Jesus. Because there is no one that gets my heart and desires like He does. We have an abundance of food to eat. We have enough clothes that we get to wash them AND we have a washer and dryer- a washer and dryer that sing when they are finished. I have 20+ precious students who I'm soaking up these last few days with because I'm just not ready to let them go, so might as well field trip, crazy schedule, and head west (on the nature trail) and make amazing memories. And while some of them have terribly cropped pictures, I know they'll love it anyway. We have a roof over our head and a comfy place to sleep. We have all of these amazing people, experiences, and memories. And most of all, we have a Savior Who loves us. And I hope with all my heart in this business of life, that we are glorifying Him and furthering His Kingdom. If you don't know Jesus, ask me about Him. Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. And He will give you rest in even more than just the every day things of life, but the cool thing is, He gives you rest even in just the every day things of life. He loves you so much, He cares about the smallest and biggest needs, and He is always willing to lend an ear. What a Savior!
