Friends, I am sorry I have been remiss in my blogging duties. I mean, I know that you really don't care, well, other than Sommer, but I care. I really want to have the exercise of writing every day, but I'm just so scatterbrained lately. And tired. And did I mention distracted?
Some days are good, like the one I mentioned in an earlier post. The domestic days are good. And I've started doing some intense yoga, and that's good. But nothing is catching my attention with reading. I can't concentrate on the studying I'm supposed to be doing for my teaching, and I start school next week! ACK!!
Dear Jesus, help me to FOCUS.
So, I'm going to ditch the vampyre book because I just don't care, and I gave it way longer than I should have. I'm not going to read World Without End right now because it's just too big to even look at. I did plow through an issue of Entertainment Weekly yesterday, though. Oh, and I read the adoption information that we got in the mail and sobbed. About the pressure, about how almost everything about our life has to change, about wanting it NOW, about all the things that need to happen beforehand, about the kids we can't adopt. It's a lot.
So, keep praying for us. We really need a different place to live. That's the first priority. Then a different job for Seth &/or a job for me, 2 new cars. *sigh*
Jeremiah 29:11.

I know, I missed 2 days.
I know. Friends, you have no idea...well, some of you have some idea. Anyway, big stuff is going on in my family and I just have been too stressed, distracted, and nervous that I haven't been able to concentrate.
I have my sexuality project due tomorrow and I've barely been able to work on it with much thought. Thankfully, I have most of it done, with a few spaces where it says things like, "And then I'll be talking about THIS REALLY GREAT THING FROM THAT AUTHOR" or "And then I'll go through THE BIBLE VERSES THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THIS POINT." So, you know, I just have to flesh it out a bit. And I only checked out, oh, 10 books or so from the library. I will be skimming, I say. But I really do plan on teaching this series, so I need to actually do the work.
On top of the family stuff, I've been really flustered by the college students this week, so, on Tuesday, I freaked out & ordered 4 books on college ministry from Amazon. They came today, and I went up to church to show them to one of my co-leaders & we're splitting them up to read, for now. One of them, Ask Me Anything, I started reading for my project, and I'm really loving it. It's one of those ones that I want to either be able to download right into my brain or hand out to every student and sit them down & make them read it immediately, quizzing them for comprehension. So, um, it's useful.
I hope to get my project done & turned in on time, though I've let my professors know that I may be a couple days late. Pray for me, Seth, & my family, will you? Thanks.
