Sometimes I wonder if there is a normal pace to life. I feel like there is always someplace to go or something to do. Do you ever feel that way? It was so nice last week to get away to a cabin that had little to no access to the outside world. It still felt like the days flew by and our time away from insanity were coming to a close way to soon, but it just felt like that's how life should be more often.
But its not.
I like being busy sometimes, as long as it isn't to the point of there isn't even time to stop to go to the bathroom. (I had many of those moments in December but I won't go there). I often feel like there isn't enough time in the day or days in the week. A pastor at a conference I went to last year said this, "being a pastor [or churchworker] is like giving birth on Sunday and then finding out you are pregnant again on Monday" I feel like that so much.
You make boundaries but something always comes up and the cycle keeps going. How do you get through a day or week or month without feeling like you are letting someone down by not spending enough time with them. Sometimes I feel like I can't win with it all.
My Fiance', our relationship and our family are my priority. I think its going to continue to be an adjustment for some people to realize that... its ok... life is a work in progress.
I don't know why I am sharing this. I guess there are a lot of days where I feel like I just can't do it all. I have felt like I am continually letting someone down and really don't like that feeling but am trying to embrace the fact that my life is changed and my life intertwines with many other lives and so that's going to cause those lives to change as well. Domino's.
Back to trying to solve the world of Sunday School (if it ever gets solved I will be in complete awe) so I can go plan a wedding! :)
