This made me ball!! August has crept...Oh my gosh. This made me ball!! August has crept up on me like a thief in the night. Me? You times four! Three kids at one school with 2 summer projects that are not done. 1 1/2 weeks left to go. Doubt they will get done and I'm past the point of caring. I guess it is the life of hard knocks for two of my kids. One is transitioning into public school which scares the mess out of me but I have a peace in my heart that God has something there for him ( and probably me ) to learn. I like you, hate school. It's so tempting to look back on our HS days with lustfulness. Yet, I remember they were not easy either. Just simpler, I think. ABCs. 123s. <br /><br />I agree with the need for a bit of a schedule but I, too, want to ease into it instead of being dunked into the icy water. This year we try to marry football schedule with homework - a task that was undoable last year.<br /><br />Fearful? I could go there easily. Yet, I try too to ABIDE. to trust. to not feel completely overwhelmed. it's not easy for me either. our introvert-ed-ness makes it all very hard for reasons i don't understand but i do know it keeps me vulnerable and pressed into the FATHER in a way nothing else in life does.<br /><br />I love you sweet friend. Thanks for echoing my heart.<br />julie<br />www.julieworthyphotography.com<br />www.raisingthreeknightsandaprincess.com<br />juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381880428018520967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-66037157923521134192013-08-05T22:13:27.440-04:002013-08-05T22:13:27.440-04:00Really love this insight today...

All the "extras" that we required and the social pressures to "do it all" were causing me so much internal strife. I've taken the summer to try to get myself strong again in who I am and how our family focuses on life, so I'm a bit nervous as to how the beginning of school will be. Thank you for this!! All the best to you and your family!Ansleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471977702602728819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-42245830942011210142013-08-05T14:59:52.889-04:002013-08-05T14:59:52.889-04:00Oh, yes.

The biggest comfort for me right now is knowing that I don't HAVE to say yes to every opportunity and I love that you wrote about that here. As a reforming people pleaser, I need that reminder over and over again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125381642825644193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-40746561844224742692013-08-05T11:28:33.803-04:002013-08-05T11:28:33.803-04:00Great post!
