So I don’t know how this happens to me, but I have managed to cram every single moment of my life with busyness. I was just talking to my mom about how much I have going on right now and how crazy my whole summer is scheduled to be. A lot of what we’re doing is stuff that I enjoy, but there can definitely be too much of a good thing. I only have 2 weekends this summer that aren’t totally booked and I get overwhelmed just thinking about that. There are certain things that we want to do and feel are important, there are other things that are just plain fun, so we said yes, there are things that we don’t want to do but feel obligated to do and then there are the ridiculous things that we don’t want to do but somehow end up doing anyway. I have to figure out a way to make this stop. We want to have time in our lives for each other, our families and getting to know people who don’t know God so that we can show His love to them. There is not enough time for those things….those things are the most important things! I guess it’s a case of being so caught up with the “good” that we are missing out on the “great.” It really has to be brought into balance. I’m going to pray for wisdom in making some of these tough choices.
That’s all for now…I’ll have to post later about the wedding we were at last night, the BBQ we were at today, the wedding I was at tonight, the baby shower I’m going to tomorrow after church and the fireworks I’m going to tomorrow night…Oh, and the BBQ I’m going to on Tuesday, and the small group meeting we have on Wednesday!!!!

Huh, sounds like another busy summer for you, girlfriend! Force yourself to practice saying the words, “No thank you!” and “No, we can’t!” and even just “NO!” People will get over it!!!
So… ready to catch us up on all that other fun stuff you’ve done recently?!?
