So for the few of you who actually read this blog, you're probably wondering why I decided to do this if I'm not going to post anything new. Yeah, I've been slacking ... already.
Sometimes I feel like I have so much going on in my life that I don't know where to start talking about it. What part of my life do I talk about???
Momhood ... I spent a week at home with Ben being sick with a cough and fever for 3-4 days. I finally took him to the Dr. and got an antibiotic. Things are looking up. For the past few weeks I've been fighting off a cold/sinus issues. Today I feel like it got me. Not feeling so good.
Wife... things are good in this area. :) I'm still learning how to be Clint's wife at times.
Volunteer ... there is always something going on in this part of my life. The school auction is done! That was a huge one for me ... so consuming! As soon as the auction was over I began organizing a wheelchair basketball game/event with Covenant Christian School and the River City Rollers (John Michael's team) for April 19. This is taking more of my time than I anticipated! I have been working on promoting, organizing details of the event, ticket sales, etc. etc. I have the South Bend Tribune promoting the event by having a sports columnist doing an article this week. WSBT22 will be interviewing John Michael and I on April 15. One of the sports reporters wants to do a segment on JM's story as a way of promoting the event! If any of you can come to the games on the 19th it would be great to see you there. I may not have much time to chat, but I'll be there... busy!
And then last week I was asked to help plan a retirement party for our school principal. I've have come to appreciate this lady and it'll be good to send her off with a nice party.
Who would have thought that I, Rose, would be an event planner??!! I'm ready for school to be done so that I can be done with events! Although, I do have to say that I've been told that I do a great job, and other ladies that have done these events with me want to have me on their team. Huge compliment!
As an individual ... I struggle to find down time. Last week while Ben was home from school I was able to get caught up on the kids' scrapbooks, which took me two days. With now having 5 scrapbooks to manage, I've learned to do very simple pages. :) Scrapping is something that I enjoy. I've learned in the past few months that I'm not meant to be out of the home, but to be home. With all the volunteer work that I've been doing at the school and church lately, I've learned that I'm not cut out to be away from home every day. I don't like it that my home gets neglected and I don't have time to care for things at home. Meals haven't been planned and my family isn't eating as well as they used to. I don't like this. I don't like the busyness of life sometimes.
In the midst of all this, God is still speaking to me! He keeps reminding me of who I am in Him. In Bible Study Fellowship we are studying Matthew, which is the life of Christ. I am learning in depth who Christ is and who he is to me. He is my Partner in this life, the One who I can go to for ANYTHING! He desires to have conversations with me every day, all day. I am re-learning to talk with Him when I'm driving, cooking, cleaning, resting, ... He's always listening and waiting and wanting to speak to me.
Is God speaking to you????
