Number 2, I am trying to avoid people! (a bit) while i work us out a little schedule cos my family/church/homeschool life is demanding about 26 hours a day right now.
I had such a nice little school day & some errands planned in for today, with a lovely little phone-prayer session planned with a fellow wife-of-a-non-christian this morn.
Well none o that happened, but we did get the free bus to Asda and have a mcdonalds. You hear?
We need a little down time. Oh, yeah sure we just had six weeks of downtime! But in the first week of September everything started thick and fast, with not a second to breathe in between!
In fact, i just walked past my kitchen counter & there's this bottle of red wine there* and it started to allure me..."mm imagine how nice i'd taste....and you could doze off for the afternoon..." it said. So I popped it away & made some life-giving marmite on toast.
And...while i took on plenty of new responsibilities in education, in church & Bsf this past year, there is something i seem to shirk forever...
I don't talk about my marriage on here cos DH is such a private guy and he would not appreciate it. But let's just say i am NOT a very good wife, and I need a lot of work & prayer & time with my maker. And all these worthy causes just keep me busy, keep me coasting along, feeling useful & good & stuff, and I never get round to what may be my most important role in life, that wife in 1 Peter 3:1, that girl who wins her husband over to the Lord without words. Prayer & actions baby!
*we needed a cork for a science experiment. that is my actual excuse!
Whoever is reading this out there, I love ya!
