Thoughts....

I need to write things down to see if I'm thinking clearly. I worked 7.5 hours in a 5th grade classroom yesterday and then 3.5 hours with 5 kids under the age of 4 that same night. Came home, chatted with a few friends, slept.

This morning mom wakes me and asks me to go with Lauren (little Lamb!) to her aquatics therapy. I neglected the shower and ran out the door a few minutes later.

Once I was back home from that adventure, Mom asked me to help her paint some things. I moved almost everything out of Tim (my oldest younger brother)'s room. We put drop cloths on the bed and bureau after I taped everything (yay for blue painter's tape! :P). Then I ended up working on Mom's room and helping her paint the walls (first the primer then the base). With Mom, myself, and Mrs. S. from church, we ended up getting the rooms nearly done. All that's left is letting the paint dry on the ceiling so we can tape the edging and do the tip top parts of the wall. Yay!

But that's not why I got on here....

I got on here because I'm confused. I have been asking God in the mornings to help me learn patience. So far I think I see a miracle in progress! I actually haven't been doing my aggressive driving...at all! I stay very close to the speed limit (usually it's 5 over always), I don't get upset when people cut me off or run a light or anything...it's just shocking haha.

But I also asked for peace of a different sort. The kind that involves people. My life is constantly changing, whether I want it to or not, and my choice is to embrace it peacefully or to let controlling my life control me:P I have thought about things and made a few decisions that have put me at peace, but have left another confused. Right now I'm seeking God's help in everything, because right now I don't know what to do. I want to figure out my reasoning behind these thoughts and let God show me where He wants me to go, not where I think I need to go:)

So tonight is Starbucks. Maybe I'll invite a friend to come with if I can get out the door in time. See, the power just turned back on (we had electrical work all day since I got back from babysitting), and now I'll have hot water for my shower of the day:)

Praise God for friends like...well, that person knows who they are, because they've helped me see that I need to talk to God about this pivotal point in my life...
