The one problem that occurs when you are staring a lengthy vacation in the face is that every day becomes long. That is how today was. The ride to work though quick in time seemed long. The morning at work though filled with a lot of work and a large tour presentation seemed long. (I did get an email from a prospective student that mad it all worth my while though) That afternoon went by like a hourglass with a clog which equals, long. The ride home was long. Now as I sit alone and watch television the evening is long too.
So earlier I began the process to leave work for vacation a day early. I was going to try and make the week out but I never got any time to relax after my program ended so I am going to exit much sooner. This way I am well rested for vacation and CJ and I can make the most out of the time we have with each other for 24 hours a day.
While I was at work today I received an exclamatory text from Mommy. I saw a picture of CJ drinking from her cup! Now you have to understand this has been something a long time in the making. Mommy has brought many cups. All types, all colors, all brands, and all styles. Up until today CJ wanted nothing to have with any of them. So as I told Mommy, when she woke up today with the goal of finally drinking out of her cup I bet she knew how excited her Mommy would be. So when I received the picture, all I could do was let out a sly chuckle in excitement of her accomplishment.
So now that my actual summer is coming to an end I have to begin the vacation process. Finalizing this barbecue is first on the agenda. Then I need to finish the sermon for Sunday. After Sunday comes, the rushed packing process will begin. Relaxing will come soon but I will pace myself as I go about doing all i set out to do. So for tonight, when you pray, please pray for my students. Some of them are really going through some stuff that only God can fix. I am a believer that prayer changes things, people and ALL situations!
