Seeking Him with Grace

This month has been unbelievable for me. It started with a crazy, work-for-a-jillion-hours-to-prepare week followed by a beautiful-wonderful-exciting-amazing-but-exhausting week of Vacation Bible School followed by an Oh-My-Word-I've-Been-Falling-Behind-Like-You-Would-Not-Believe week filled with scrambling for groceries, scrounging for clean laundry, reintroducing myself to my girls, sending my son off on an adventure with my mom, preparing to teach two different inservices for two different schools that I accidentally planned too close together and trying to get a handle on cutting back on the stress eating so I can fit in something other than yoga pants...

Anyhoo- Though I am back into the Seeking Him Together groove now, I am honestly about week behind. I checked with Melissa, and she's in the same boat- recovering from her amazing mission trip to Peru. So somehow, we've fallen behind in our hosting duties.

Here's how I am going to take the guilt factor out of all of that. We are going to go with the week off that life dictated and pick up again next week. On Monday, I'll post the questions for week 11, on Tuesday, we'll all post our answers with the Mr. Linky, and on Wednesday, we'll dive into the 12th and final chapter of this study.

That way, we don't need to talk about excuses, apologize, or feel badly for falling behind- PLUS we'll have the side benefit of stretching this great study out one more week. This break is likely just what the Doctor ordered.

there. enjoy your rest. see you soon.

He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams.
Psalm 23:2 nlt

Your life pace sounds a lot like mine even if the "details" are slightly different! Grace is awesome isn't it?!

Enjoy the still (or possibyly tricklng instead of rushing) waters!!

As one of the "behinders", I thank you for your grace on this for all of us! :)

Oh it has been forever since i have been to your blog <3 I miss reading your loving, caring, over joyful words for God, your children, and His creation. I can't wait to keep following you now, and I can't wait to catch up on what all I have missed.

You read my mind. I'll resurface someday...right now, I'm under the pile of everything I had to move out of my closet & bathroom...soon to be increased by the mound of debris from the tear out that begins IN TWO DAYS. AACK!
