Sunday night's activities

What is Sunday night like at your house? For me, it's figure out what to wear for the teaching job tomorrow, pack a lunch, try to finish at least ONE thing off the "to do" list before going to bed (I still have the corner of the spare room to clean out and nothing else has gotten completed!), make sure I have socks for tomorrow (big deal at this house...lots of mismatched, none paired!) and see what the rest of the week holds! I've got to finish my application for working at the Union Gospel Mission Camp this summer since I'm meeting with Denny on Thursday (my only day of not teaching). I've put it off and I decided that David can take it into work with him tomorrow.

I'm thankful I was able to be extra lazy this morning (we went to church last night) because by 1 pm, I was in full swing! I zipped down to the Mission for their open house, bought items for our themed dinner table on Tuesday night (this involved trips to Walmart, Dollar store and 50% off card shop!) and I was finally home at 5. Now I'm sleepy since we had Chicken Alfredo (courtesy of Costco) and I know that I still have that list. Could I cross off at least one thing tonight? We'll see!!

Happy Sunday night, everyone!

(ps after an hour, I've scratched off TWO things on my list: cleaned out the spare room corner and wrote a guest teacher note to the Kindergarten teacher, telling her how my two days went in her classroom! I'm on a roll so I think I will do a few more things AND rubberstamp two b'day cards before bed.) Hey, while cleaning out, I found a brand new pair of black socks...guess what my color scheme is going to be tomorrow!

Psalm 23 for Busy People

Yesterday at church Pastor Mike spoke on busyness and he shared this version of Psalm 23 for busy people! The pictures included are ones that I took of today as I was up at Painted Rock in Spokane. The Little Spokane River is beautiful any day of the year, but especially pretty in the late fall afternoon.

Enjoy the poem and join me in learning to relax because He's in control!

Psalm 23 for Busy People

The Lord is my pace setter, I shall not rush.
He makes me to stop and rest for quiet intervals.
He provides me with images of stillness, which restores my serenity.
He leads me in ways of efficiency, through calmness of mind.

And His guidance is my peace.
Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day
I will not fret, for His presence is here.
His timelessness, His all-importance will keep me in balance.

He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity
By anointing my mind with His oils of tranquillity.
My cup of joyous energy overflows.
Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hour,
For I shall walk in the pace of the Lord and dwell in His house forever.
