With only a couple of weeks left until school starts I find myself trying to stay occupied. The garden stuff is coming in and hockey camps are starting too. I really find that September is the "new year". Everything starts back up and life seems to gain a routine again. I have a couple of volunteer jobs set up for the fall and hopefully that will help cover some time. I'll probably join some group at church and hockey will fill the evenings. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm looking forward to winter!
It's kinda funny but I'm starting to fall back into the routine of being a stay at home mom again. I think I actually kinda like it. I enjoy it more than when my kids were babies. See I have this "Freedom need" and with the kids gone to school I can have a few hours of where I can do the things I want to without tripping over little bodies. lol I feel like I'm more productive and with my new KitchenAid mixer it's easier to cook things. I am finding joy in providing for my family other than financially. It's just taken a bit to get back to that mentality.
Charis, that sounds wonderful...the hope, peace and joy you're finding yourself in! Romans 15:13 is one of my favorite verses. Irene.
ReplyDeleteThanks Irene :). It's a day to day struggle sometimes, trying to stay content and opening up to do all things for the glory of God and with his peace! But I don't think I'm alone in that struggle. Finding his peace though isn't something one can explain but it will fill you with joy.
