Utterances outside my walls

A friend recently asked if my blogging had ended because I am no longer "trapped" inside my walls. And unfortunately the answer is probably yes.

I constantly accuse Glen of not being able to multi-task...(breaking every "man" rule), and while I was pointing my finger at him, the ones pointing back... found me. Going back to work has been a... well... uh... an experience. A whole new field, a whole new group of people, and a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

Health care is a challenge all it's own. And if ANYONE knows me, I lay down when one of the kids feel sick, because I just am not as good as I used to be about providing the TLC a mom should show. I used to be the BEST at it. When the kids were little, now they get the suck it up speech, and the I used to go to school with a fever of 108. So for these people that I deal with, they can be glad that my job has NOTHING to do with patient care. They would be so far up the creek... it wouldn't even be amusing.

Been toying with Facebook a little. LOVE seeing everyone's pictures and feeling a part of lives that I don't get to partake of on a regular basis. Need to be better about checking that too. Being back to working on a computer all day, makes it so I don't want to touch the laptop unless it is necessary.

Going on with us? Not a whole lot, Glen is still at Fidelity, Kelsey is making her way through 6th grade...first year in middle school. Caleb...well, he is enjoying the Abeka program. Not exactly my plan for "homeschooling" him, (I mean me going back to work), but it is working for us. When he tries to get by without doing his work, I threaten to send him back to public school and he straightens up pretty fast. He loves the flexibility, but also likes that he can focus on subjects that he enjoys. We are always busy. Seems like the only time we truly slow down is when it is a planned attempt to. Wish we had those more often, but for the time being... Things are good.

God is still on his throne, and I am grateful for the days that I allow Him to stay there in my life. When I lose track of my role in this life, and try to take over being the boss. I make myself pretty crazy. When I remind myself that I am just a vessel, emptied, filled and emptied again. Life is sweeter, joy is more fulfilling, things are just better.

Don't let today pass without thinking about where God resides in your life. Is He leading and guiding or are you dragging Him along on YOUR ride? I never forget that I am not above going through the trials of life, I just remember that I have a way that is higher and better than any that I can create. Choose today to walk that road. To know who holds our tomorrows and our today's, and rest in knowing that where ever or whatever we are in the middle of, it will be for our best. Making me the best I can be in Him.
