I'm in a hurry but don't know why....


Rush here...rush there..busy busy busy!!! I am so busy I actually quadruple booked myself for this Saturday and double booked myself for Sunday!! On Saturday I am suppose to
A. take my mom to Portland for a women's conference (we actually leave Friday night)
B. Tawni's FIRST day of riding lessons and working out at Horse Country Farm in Granite Falls ( approx 5.5 hours)
C. Nadia & Kyairra are having their first official Birthday Party with friends from school ( I was suppose to help)
D. My dear Friend Ernie is turning 40 !! I can't miss that right??

Oh Heck!! I just remembered another thing I was suppose to do!!

E. The Spring Celebration for all the BIG Losers over at Julies weight loss blog!
(no I am not a BIG loser, but I thought I could go glare at the girls that did lose big!!)

Then on Sunday :
A. Baby shower for our Woodward girl Bethany.....
B. A going away party for some friends a church !!

We won't even talk about the fact that all this rushing here and there has left my house a national disaster area, laundry piled up to my nose(which doesn't smell pretty), a dog that needs washed, dishes........aaahhhh....you know the list...it never ends!!

How does one get so busy??? Better question.. HOW DOES ONE GET UNBUSY!?!! If anyone has any idea's for answering this monster question ...I am open for suggestions !! I don't want to be here....I am one of those who would be totally cool living on a farm, taking care of my family..leaving the house only once or twice a week....... Want my opinion ? Of course you do!! If not ya better stop reading now....cuz I am gonna give it to ya!! I think Satan gets us so busy ...doing alot of "good" things, that we are to busy to be doing what God wants us to be doing....plus it's really alot less work for him...he doesn't have to bother tempting us...cuz we are so busy that we aren't taking enough time to talk to God let alone HEAR from God. My goal this summer is to streamline my schedule, work on the things that are really important...and let the other "stuff" go.....Does My daughter really need to have 10 different things going? Or would the time be better spent just hanging out with Jim and I?? Camping, playing games, swimming, fishing........they are only young once and it is going so quickly!!
Anywho...If you all could pray for me...pray that I will learn to say NO, learn to keep my focus on the important things, and pray that I will have grace and strength to let go off all the things I "think" I "need" to be doing!!
