Life has been busy for our family since the beginning of September. School has started for C4, so I am driving back and forth in the mornings. This week Mom-to-Mom and the ladies’ Bible study I attend also start this week. I am actively involved in Mom-to-Mom this year as I am coordinating the hospitality team. I have been trying to go to the gym three times a week in order to try to relieve some stress and to take care of me. I am also educating my children at home, and I am building my own business, Homeschooling Coach. I am going to be very busy. Don’t get me wrong because I like to be busy. I am just wondering how I will be able to do it all, and I am concerned that I might end up missing out on the little things that I truly appreciate like time relaxing and enjoying my children. In the past I have used busyness as a way to fulfill my needs without spending time with God.

Starting now I am praying that God will guide me this year to be able to do His work in His strength and not on my own. I am praying that I will be able to stay focused and accomplish the things that He wants me to do. With a truly busy schedule, I will be forced to be organized, and I will need to seek God more than I think I have to. God will guide me if I let Him and if I listen to him. While I am driving all over the place, I will be listening carefully to what He has to say!
