Back to Reality..

Today has been one of those days where practically nothing goes right on the first try. But the good thing is that most things finally got resolved, and overall it's been a productive day. Except I still don't know much about student teaching stuff..but hopefully I'm not too late to apply! I'll just keep trusting on that one..

I don't know how I feel about being back in real life yet. But I'm glad that I came back up here early, even as stressful and busy as the last 24 hours have been. I think it has been good to be up here and to get ready for school..especially mentally. (But I'm still pretty thankful for a chance to leave again for a few days, too.) After today I just hope I don't get too caught up in "doing" stuff. I'm pretty good at doing a lot of busy work and trying to make sure everything is in order and ready to go and not taking time to rest..especially during transitions and in situations that I feel unprepared for. Like going to back to school after being at Camp all summer. I know that it's going to be good. I just don't feel it quite yet. But it will come, I just have to have a little patience.

"Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?..But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." -Jesus, Matthew 6:25-27, 33
