Decision Update


Someone asked, in my comments section, about an update on some decisions I was trying to work through...maybe about a month ago.

The update is that I decided to take on the extra two hours at school. That began this week and has made for a very full couple of days. The extra time is in Mr Busy's class, although the children are off at a specialist class for half that time. His teacher has me doing all sorts of different things that are basically just time consuming. Like taking artwork off the walls in preparation for a new general studies unit, photocopying, laminating etc.

Following the decision to do this, I had a major panic moment though. Just as school was about to start back I woke early one morning and suddenly though "I can't do it all". I am training and then facilitating a parenting program late in May....I really would never keep up with it all. So after much thought and prayer and really seeking God's direction I have decided to drop BSF ~ the bible study class I was attending. I had my last class this week.

As for the Sunday School issue. Dh is of the opinion that it would be very disruptive for our children to be coming in late and would segregate them from their friendships and so feels we should let that trial run its course. However....the youth pastor has just resigned and will finish up around the same time as the trial does. So we'll see. I hope to catch up with him at some point to express my concerns further ~ he already knows I have plenty.
