Slow down world, I need to step off for a while!

WOW! Life has been extremely hectic lately and it won't slow down for at least 2 more weeks. The class I blogged about last finally kicked off this morning. We also started a new music program called P-W-P (praise, worship, and prayer). I must say it was a success! We had a great time this morning singing praises to the Lord without a hymnal. We are not actually actually singing praise and worship music, but more of the contemporary stuff. There has been some rumbling in the church that we aren't versatile in our music so we thought it would be great to offer this along with our College and Careers class. We have also invited anyone else that would like to come but we are gearing it to the younger crowd.
This Friday is graduation for my oldest son, Johnnie. We have been gearing up for the past month for everything that happens at the end of the year along with the graduation stuff. 2 weeks ago was the prom and this week will be practice twice and then graduation Friday. Saturday night is the party, so I have to finish all of the shopping for that. And then comes all of the cooking. I am planning to make about 25lbs of potato salad, 5 gallons of baked beans and 50lbs of BBQ chicken, and that's just my half. Since we are doing a party for Johnnie and his best friend Eli there are going to be ALOT of people there. We also have all of the decorating to do on Saturday morning. Jake and Cody also have their year-end water days (Both on different days) so I have that to attend also.
Just when I get through with school and parties, the VBS for our church begins on Monday at 9am. I have to figure out when I am going to get the decorating and planning all completed for that too since I am teaching the pre-K and kindergarten class. They are expecting about 30 kids for that so I will be drained by the time I get home. All of this after I run a bus to and from VBS to pick up the kids that I brought with me last year in my Suburban. I have accumulated even more kids that want to come with me so I told them I need a bus to get them all there.
You know, my life is so blessed! I wouldn't trade it for anything but I would love a little more time between everything! I'm having difficulty stretching myself thin enough and there's ALOT of me to stretch to get thin!LOL

I know it is hard but try to find some time in there to chill a bit. Talking from experience - your heart may want to keep going but your body has a way of saying ENOUGH!

Congrats Johnny! Kinsey walked the stage Saturday night.

The end of the year is always so crazy. I'm happy for you for the new class and the contemporary praise. I will keep that ministry in my prayers.
