September

Well, I was anxious for school to begin because I like the routine. This week was the first week of school for the children and it was anything but routine! The school part was fine but there were so many other "incidentals" and most of them were not pleasant. I find myself stressed and worried and running from this to that. I know that I need to trust God more and look to Him. Usually the "incidents" are not so bad after a few hours or the next day. It is just making it through the moments!! God must be trying to teach me something. Also, I am so burdened down by the problems of several of my younger friends/family members who are facing such turmoil in their lives. We did have a lovely successful dinner at our church last evening. There were many new faces there. Tomorrow ten people will be baptized by immersion and that is always a joyous occasion! I'm always happy to go to church and worship with my friends and be reminded of what God is doing in people's lives. God please help me to look to YOU and not to the circumstances as they seem to be at a given moment!
