creation lovin' garden gal: When You're Up, You're Up...

and the rest of that song goes: "And when you're down, you're down." That seems to describe me pretty well. I am usually such an "up" person, but recently I have been a little more "down" than usual. I'm pretty sure it is due to the long hours of training at my new job. My training is over now so I think I will notice a difference. I really don't know how Mom's function working a full time job AND maintaining a home. Well I know now, more than ever, something has to give. I'm SO thankful for this opportunity to help pay off our house as quick as we can and am even MORE thankful that it is part-time and feel blessed by how willing they are to work with me. I am finding out the answer to a question I always had in the back of my mind, "What DID I do this morning!?" Well, now that I'm not here, I come home and realize all that I DID do and now have to be even more organized to get things done the way we want them to be around here. That is an area that has always been a little challenging to me (ask my Mother *grin*) -- organization! So I feel this is a really good thing for me. It is stretching me and helping me get my priorities where they need to be. I want my life to be one of balance, one that helps my wonderful husband as best as I possibly can, one that loves my children as much as is humanly possible, and most importantly one that brings the most glory and praise to my Savior Jesus Christ. My life means nothing without the grace He has poured out on me, and for that I am eternally grateful!
