The frozen york peppermint patties Uncle Martin brought me helped a lot. As did coffee. As did getting up earlier than everyone else and getting a move on the day and my devotions first thing. As did asking the girls to step up a little more, as did getting "away" and a little bit of time in the office to actually check some things off a list...because doing laundry and washing dishes and cooking and reading books to the girls and remembering vitamins and getting everyone off to school and cleaning up and playing play dough and making lunch and feeding the baby and hanging out the laundry and pasteurizing the milk and...those things aren't ON a list, but have seemed to be about all I can accomplish in a day lately! I'm a list lady...and knocking a few things off today on top of all the non-list things did my listing-heart good.
Saturday our first visiting professor of the 2018-2019 school year comes in to teach a master's class for Indiana Wesleyan, and Saturday is also our first ever EBS Staff Family Day...a few fun hours here on campus for all our staff and their significant others and children for playing games and hanging out and watching the kiddos and for eating burgers and pasta salad and baked beans and cookies...which yes, also means there is a LOT of food to be made for Saturday! But it's going to be a great, fun way to kick off the school year and to love on our people and we're so looking forward to it!
Next week all our students come back...staff meetings Wednesday and new student orientation Thursday and Friday...I'm so looking forward to that as well. Living on a campus with no students is too quiet! I'm so thankful for the men and women God's sent us and I love when they come home.
So all that to say now you know how to pray, as we "do it all with the strength and energy that God supplies, so that everything we do will bring glory to God, trusting our lives to the God who created us, for He will never fail us." 1 Peter 4
