I have really enjoyed the readings this week. I have been struggling with balancing everything. I have felt overwhelmed with all the directions I am being pulled. I am caring for my family, trying to be a good wife and mother, put full effort into my schooling, still provide good lessons to my art students, keep up on PTA president responsibilities, fulfill my calling as Committee Chair for cub scouts, and getting kids homework done and to all their extracurricular activities. I have been working on setting up a schedule planning each minute of every day to make the most of my time.
The readings this week helped me prioritize where I am spending my time and confirm that I am doing what I need to do. I have also reviewed my grad plan to make sure I can stay on track. I don't want to become so consumed with school and work that I loose sight of the important things, my family and my religion, like what was cautioned in the book excerpt "How will you measure your life?" I also have worked on making a mental effort to give up some study time to take a minute for the little things. A minute for scripture study, family prayer and bedtime are the little things that are really big things. Plus - when I do those little things, I feel better prepared to study!
