This is a week for prayer--and I've only had time for short, sometimes desperate ones. My assignments this week are overwhelming me. The time that I am putting into them is cutting into the time that I want to be spending with my children, so I am feeling inadequate and frustrated. I'm also exhausted from a couple of late nights "at the library."
When I was writing my time management paper, I was optomistic about how I would find balance. Now. . .I feel like it is not working. My husband even said last night, "when are these classes over?" He's been so helpful and patient, but he's starting to wonder if we did the right thing having me go back to school right now.
I believe that when we prayed about this, God impressed us that I should go for it, and get my masters degree before the time when I want to go back to work part or full time. I keep remembering that I need this degree to be a college professor. I'm looking forward to what I will be learning, too. Especially, I'm anticipating what it will be like to research the thesis I am contemplating.
Doing the work is not harder than I expected, but it is more time consuming than I hoped. From past experience, I expect that in a few days, I will be more encouraged. Some time spent with God and family this weekend will be very welcome.
I've decided to attach a picture of my family again -- because it encourages me somehow. This one is of my husband reading to our three little ones. It makes me smile.
