Time

     Time is a crazy concept, whether or not we are aware of it, it continues to move forward. I am feeling like somehow no matter what I am doing I am not using time very wisely. Now in all honesty, I know part of this is done in support of my husband's position. With my DH being a Pastor and a Church Planter in a very unusual type of church intentionally reaching the people that most churches simply don't care enough to invite and would even feel uncomfortable in their presence. This means, even though, it has never be stated or even asked from the Hubby I feel like we are missionaries that people are watching what we do and what we say. So that means sometimes females especially want to talk about girl things or ask advice or simply need someone to listen. I don't mind this at all I want to help them especially new believers.
     Family, okay mostly Tim's family, he only really has a mom and one sister that is living, but they both are a lot a like and they fight well it seems like all the time. Both want things their way, all the time, and both make bad decisions even when warned that it might not be the best decision. Tim, being the only male in the family, is often put in the role of being the "man" of the house and is sought out for advice. This annoys me because it feels like wasted time if someone seeks your advice and then doesn't take any of it and sometimes I wish we had just had our stuff to deal with.
     Graduate school, well it takes time to learn and effort, and if I was honest, well I am just not feeling it. I want to teach tomorrow's future leaders not write elaborate papers about how to best teach them. And while I know teaching will not make me rich a monthly paycheck would rock these days. I still haven't heard from the Headstart Program that took applications until January 6th. Tim thinks it is the snows fault.
     I am completely obsessed with the thoughts of our first ever vacation, in spite the many moves, we haven't really taken some time as a couple and simply went somewhere by ourselves, closest thing prior to this plan was the Carson Springs Church Planting Training and well there was a lot of information and meetings. I also have some anxiety about the entire trip but that I will save for another post.
    And then there is the dinner plans from the friends we want to build a relationship with, a baptismal service, a churches planting churches meeting on Thursday, assuming of course our van is back on the road, and a major exam scheduled for Saturday. Oh yes and Tim started back atseminary today.
    But I share all of this to simply say, I need to work on time management but well who has the time?
