is it friday yet?

Good grief! I had no idea what I was praying for when I requested a job. I am seriously out of practice when it comes to getting up early and doing so much physical labor. Thankfully, I will have some help tomorrow as I have conned my kids and husband to come on out and lug books for me.

Ahhh....the challenges of a working woman. I love it, you know I do! It's funny how my focus has shifted from all things church-related to not even thinking about church-related things. I like it! As a pastor's wife, sometimes I hear and see things that I really do not want to know. I'd rather know NOTHING than too much. It's not that I am not interested in the life of our congregation, I am, and I love them all dearly....yes, even the ones who write anonymous letters....ha! I'd just rather not be "in the know" about everything.

It's also very different working because my focus is not primarily on what Stevie, Shea, and Luke are doing. It gives them more freedom....for which I know they are eternally grateful....to do their own thing without my constant input. I do, seriously, try to contain it, but it JUST spills out!

So, working, works for me. Really.
