-Wes and I are going on a date tonight because, although we live together in the same house without kids, we haven't really had a lot of "us" time lately.
-I get up at 4:30 a.m. to go to the gym several mornings a week.
-I forget that I have to wake up at 4:30, so I don't go to sleep until around 10:30 or later.
-I have four classes back-to-back without breaks.
-The French teacher uses my room during my two off-periods, so I really don't get to catch up on emails or anything else of that matter all day.
-By the time I can sit at my desk, it's 3:00, and cheer practice starts at 3:15.
-I coach 12 teenage girls in many things other than just cheerleading skills.
-I teach 13-14 year-olds English all day, every day.
-I lead an 8th grade small group every Sunday night.
-Of course Sunday night study can't be all that small group is composed of...retreats, one-on-one get togethers, etc. are also important aspects of this job.
-My adult small group meets every week to discuss sermons on God's grace.
-I have family living around here, so I make sure to see them as often as possible.
As you may have noticed, lots of those started with "I," but I'm not the one with the energy to do all of these things. The Lord has poured excitement, love, passion, and energy into me so that He can work through me in these many jobs. I absolutely ADORE what I'm doing right now, and I'm just so stinkin' thankful for my amazing husband who is probably just as busy as I am with his work. We are going on a date tonight, as mentioned above. Papers are graded, and grocery shopping is done. The house is clean, and laundry isn't stacked "too" high. Off to take my shower for our night on the town. Life is good.
