When I said yes to this school thing, I had no idea of all the challenges and sacrifices that were to follow. I guess that is a good thing. I may have never signed up. I did have a good friend warn me that it would be hard to have a family, go to school, and work at the same time. I am not sure if I completely believed her at the time.
I believe her now. This is hard. This semester and the next will be super hard. The hardest part is the time commitment. What in the world did I do with all my time before school?
Volunteered in my kids classroom
Went to every single kid event
Took my kids places
Read to my kids
Prayed with my kids
Cooked for my kids
Religiously cleaned my house
Attended Bible Study on Wed mornings
Volunteered teaching ESL
Worked in the yard
Took my grandma out to lunch once a month
Hung out with friends
Exercised with intensity
Swam at the Cove
Taught Sunday School
Read books for fun
Hung out with my kids
Watched TV
Went to lunch with Robb on our days off
Yep, I've given up a lot for this season of life called "School" . I know that being in school right now is a result of being obedient to a direct word from God, but right now, it is one of the hardest things to keep in balance. I am looking forward to December, when it will all be behind me. I sure hope and pray that my girls have not suffered too much from my absence. I pray that God will fill in the gaps.
