Busy?

So, I am feeling a little frazzled this week. I had one IEP meeting today. (IEPs by the way are a government form I have to fill out yearly on every one of my caseload kids which contains among other things goals and how they are currently performing. They are a lot of work, and sometimes I wonder if they do any good.) I have another one tomorrow morning, two tomorrow night, and an additional parent conference. If you haven't figured it out, tomorrow (Thursday) I have parent teacher conferences from 4-8pm after a full day of school, followed by a full day of school. It is exhausting. I am pretty much ready for the meetings. I am usually fairly relaxed when it comes to meeting with parents, but I have a few touchy areas to talk about with some of the parents. So, I am just praying things go well.

My neice, Sophie, is scheduled to come Friday night for a sleepover. I have no idea what this will entail since she is supposedly formulating a list of what she would like to accomplish with her aunt. I will say that when she went to Grandma's for a sleepover, her list was long, and she checked things off as she did it... sounds just like me :) I look forward to spending time with her; I am pretty sure I haven't had this chance since before we went to Colorado. On Sunday, my brother, Luke, is preaching at Salem. I am looking forward to hear what God has laid on his heart. I have been praying that he speaks articulately and with confidence. While I am doing all this, Jeremy is starting to get sick, trying to keep up with mega amounts of homework, working at the latchkey program, and job hunting. This weekend, he is attending a youth leader's conference here in Columbus that is Friday - Monday. We'll see how often our paths cross. I type all this to say, We're feeling busy. Is anyone else?

Thankfully, I feel at peace with life most of the time - even with all that is hectic. I have been working on memorizing scripture - one verse a week. The first week I learned Joshua 3:5, which is so cool: And Joshua said to the people, "Consecrate yourselves because tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things!" Isn't that cool to know that promise? I have started to randomly say it just as a reminder that God is big and will do amazing things. Well, soon I will begin just randomly, so I am signing off. Have a good rest of your week and look for God's amazing things.
