Days of our Lives

Our schedule dramatically changed. We went from 120 miles per hour to about 2 miles per hour. Once I finished putting the house together there really wasn't much to do.

In the morning we would spend time in the Word. Then we would eat breakfast, wash the dishes, sweep the floors, do laundry if needed. Then the girls would play until lunch then we would go through the same routine of cooking and cleaning. Then the girls would take a nap and Ryan and I would check our email. Hoping to hitch a ride on the neighbors wireless. Then we would look at each other and say "what do you want to do?" By 3:30pm because of boredom I started making dinner. So we would be finished with dinner and dishes by 5:30 or 6:00 pm. Then what? It is pretty funny to go from sooooo busy to hardly anything. Whoa, what a change.

Speaking of change, starting next week we will start our classes and we will wish for the days of having nothing to do. Our orientation has been very informative. And one of the things that has been made very clear is that this will be the hardest year of your life. One lady on staff, who was also a former student said while she was learning Spanish at the Language Institute said it was the hardest year of her life and she had 57 other years to compare it to. Oh my gosh!!!! Wowee, hold on for the ride. And know that God is still on the throne.
