Friday!!- Saturday

Today I have no school. :)
However, that does not mean that I am being lazy by any means. I have already been to Belleville and back. I have a baby sitting job this evening. The little one I am watching is a brilliant 2.5 year old.

I am trying to get my phone fixed, I have had several phone calls to customer support. I need to make one more. :(

I need to go grocery shopping, the menus are planned for the week. :)

Tomorrow, I am going to be running around like crazy, my schedule looks something like this:
7:00 am  Get up
7:15 breakfast
7:30 Shower
7:45ish check to see if dinner is in the oven
8:00 Be on the road headed to a different town
8:30-13:00 Church related class
(after this is subject to change if I don't get the groceries today.)
13:30 arrive home
14:00 start reviewing for Mondays class quiz #1
15:00 break for "tea"
15:45 back to studying
16:30 start prepping for dinner
17:00 dinner
17:45ish start doing dishes
18:00 check laundry
18:30 lay out clothes for Sunday
18:45 find directions for church
19:00 start the wind down process
20:00 head to room
23:00ish Lights out.

So tomorrow is a very busy day, but, its better than being bored.
The next few Saturdays are the same, different activities but the same amount of things to get accomplished.

Seasons

Life is a series of different seasons:

Some seasons are easy, others, very difficult.

The seasons change- We are supposed to change and grow too

When is not up to us, we don't control the seasons.

How we react to the seasons is a different matter entirely.

A season is a period of time. A time for everything.

Time can fly or creep by, use the time you have wisely, you do not have any idea how long a "season" can be.

Occasionally, in the Midwest, you can see the seasons changing; the weather is different, the ground is being tilled, plants planted. Symptoms of a season of change and growth.

Personal seasons are more challenging to acknowledge. I am getting there. What do I want to be as a grown up? More importantly, what does God want me to do/be?  I have been wrestling with the answer for a while…

 Seasons change and the Bible even talks about it.

One of my favorite verse is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, I only posted part of it.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

There is a time for everything,

And a season for every activity under the heavens:

Stories

Do you remember having stories told to you as a kid?

If you went back and looked  them up,would they be exactly how you remembered?

The Wizard of Oz, what color were Dorthy's slippers according to the BOOK? the original? (silver)

How many animals of each kind on the ark for Noah? 

David and Goliath?

The Chronicles of Narnia?

Not the Movies, but the actual stories, as the Author wanted them to be told. 

What a difference it makes!

Some stories are so familiar we loose their importance. 

I  am working on a project and have been mulling over childrens' stories all week, I think as an adult I tend to not place enough importance on them. And in Bible stories if they have motions and songs I know the Sunday School version,but the actual story in the Bible, some of them, I am a bit shaky.

I am working on it.

You (I) pick up important details when you (I)  pay attention!
