We have been in the midst of this great sermon series at
church, entitled Too Busy To Listen. I
also just finished reading Lysa TerKeurst’s new book, The Best Yes. The two have spoken to me so deeply,
especially with this being the start of a new school year for my kids, and my
return to my second year at my part-time job at preschool. While I love both of these things (my children’s school and my job/ministry), I lovingly refer to
the school year as the “rat race”. With
fast paced early mornings getting three kids out the door, carpooling to school
15-20 minutes from home pending traffic, the homework/dinner/shower/bedtime hours,
and adding 14 very cute 4 year old preschoolers three mornings a week to that mix, it does not fail
to keep me busy and my schedule full.
And we refuse to pack our evenings with extracurriculars like many
do!
