Why is it that when you have SO much to do, you do nothing? It's like you don't even know where to start? Ever had that feeling? That's very much the way I feel right now.
Next week is VBS at my church. And I am BEYOND excited! Vacation Bible School is just one of those things I know God called me to do. I love it! I love the whole week. The planning. The decorating. The teaching. The outreach to our community. And seeing so many children come to know Jesus as their Savior!!!
Also, summer has really just started around here. So, I want to spend as much time as possible with my kids! They have wanted to do nothing but swim for the last two days, so we have. Six hours yesterday. Seven hours today. Britt just asked me if I wanted to spend tomorrow night at the lake house. *Sigh*
This Sunday, Cam's baseball team is celebrating their season by going to Six Flags. Britt and Carlie are going to. Of course they wanted me to go. But I'd have to get someone to teach my Sunday School class, and my VBS classes on Sunday night. Not going to happen.
Add to that the typical, day-to-day errands. Running kids to the library for the summer reading program. Going for allergy shots. Housework. Laundry. Cooking. Plus my Sonic paperwork. Yes, I'll be going back to work a few days a week after VBS ends.
So I'm just frazzled. I've got so much to do for my VBS decorations. I haven't even traced the pictures off the overhead projector to hang on my classroom walls!! Much less built an Outback Cabin facade, or a lighthouse, or Ayers Rock, or the Great Barrier Reef! Maybe if I didn't go a little overboard I wouldn't be so stressed. Fortunately, I'm studied up and prayed up on the Bible study part. That's what counts!! If I were just a little more organized on the rest of it I'd be fine!
I'm going to the church tomorrow to see if I can't get started. Before I have to take Cam for allergy shots, of course!
Say a prayer for me, for my family. It's going to be a crazy 10 days around here! But if one child comes to know the Lord because of my craziness then it will be worth the stress! I just pray that my frantic and unworthy attempts to share the Gospel of Christ with the children of Jacksonville brings glory to His kingdom!
