That's how I've felt over the last two days--like I needed someone to save me from the insanity that surrounds this last week of school. If I had made a "to do" list yesterday, it would have looked a little something like this:
- write ESL final
- do powerpoint for Awana Christmas program
- enter grades
- proof/edit yearbook pages
- read Saving Cicadas (my book review blogger book--I really want to finish it because they now have a book available that I'd love to read--I can't remember the name, but it has to do with Lost!)
- practice Singing Christmas Tree music
- attend Awana Christmas program
- practice Festival of Lessons & Carols music (this practice will be with the conductor--and he's going to be able to tell that I don't know my music at all!)
- meet with speech kids
- figure out what StuCo is doing for Christmas
- clean my apartment
- go to Festival practice (all day Friday)
- go to the last four SCT concerts
- call the chiropractor
- submit 16 yearbook pages (due next Wed!)
Now I'm choosing to do the same. This week will undoubtedly continue to be stressful, but I can choose how I respond to the stress. I may have a zillion things to do this week, but I can be joyful while I do them, and I don't need to panic when things happen that are beyond my control. Before I know it, this week will be over, and it will be Christmas!
Oh, Becky, you are so sweet! This brought tears to my eyes. I'm glad that God can use my blogs to bring encouragement to others. Love you, girl!
