So I really need to be sleeping...
but I'm so totally awake. This is not good b/c I have a seriously long day tomorrow, work, class, class, Smallville, fellowship. Granted these are not bad things and Smallville is a bit cathartic, but it means going from 8:30 am until 10/11/12 at night. And I need my alone time otherwise I get kind of cranky and that's not good. But when I"m like that I definitely have to practice Colossians 3:12-15.
I'm definitely feeling overwhelmed by all that there is to do this semester. I"m trying to balance everything but it's going to be really hard. Part of me thinks I should give something up, but I have no idea what that is. Luckily I am okay with not making stellar grades, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try as hard as I can. but I know that all my reading isn't going to get done. And I know that there is something I"m probably going to bomb. I don't want to give up baby-sitting or my small group b/c those are outlets for me. I love the kids I sit for!! There is this one family I sit for and every time I leave I just come away feeling loved. I mean if there was one word to describe this family it would be love and it makes me want to cultivate that in a family one day.
I"m kind of bummed that my Saturday's are partially taken up b/c I"m seeing clients. Oh!! I have clients!!! I"m like a pseudo-counselor person; how crazy is that!!! I"m really excited about how the Lord is going to use me in these people's lives. Granted I've only had one session with 3 different people and I feel like I don't know what the crap I'm doing, but it's all a learning process, which is hard and humbling.
I am excited about my classes this semester b/c I'm going to learn!! I don't feel/think that I learned a whole lot last semester. And maybe I"m just a dork and I"m okay with that but I love to learn and be challenged.
I'm actually starting to feel tired, so I"m going to hit that hay!!!
Peace!!
