Golden Anvil

I guess it's been a while since I posted, so it's time to fill you in on my peaceful little life (Are you jealous? You should be!)

It surprises me every year how difficult it is to get back into a regular schedule after the holidays. I still am running around, trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing! Slowly though, things are settling down, and I'm finding myself with some new projects that I'm excited about.

It looks like I may spend about 4 hours a week teaching preschool one-on-one with a kiddo from our church. He has some developmental delays, and Mom would like him to have a jumpstart before possibly entering a group preschool experience. I spent some time ironing out the details with her today, and it looks like we are going to start the first week of February. I'd appreciate prayers for wisdom and guidance as I prepare, and then begin working with this little guy.

My goal this year is to spend some more time reading (especially non-fiction stuff). As Andrew just went and purchased a ton of movies, it's been hard to work on this goal. Currently I'm reading a book on church history, which is fascinating.

It's been an interesting balance so far (already!) this year balancing life with the thought in the back of my head that we could become parents at any time. I guess the closer we get to that 2 year mark, the more I will have to struggle with living life in the here and now, instead of for the future. Andrew has been a great support for me, helping me keep things in perspective. God is doing great things this year...with or without a baby in our lives.

Best wishes to you all this new year.
