Refocused

This week at school has been Spiritual Emphasis week. They have a week each trimester where there is no homework (Glory, Hallelujah!!!!!) and special chapel services each day and evening. There is also a team that comes in and does VBS with the kids in the evening. It has been such a special treat for the kids and they have had so much fun! It has also been a blessing to have this time to refocus! I have to say that it is easy to lose sight of why we are here. Day in and day out of Spanish learning on top of life with 4 kids can be very draining! God has really spoken to my heart this week and reminded me that I am here because He has called me to this place, at this time. I am here because I must learn the language so that I can be obedient to the call He has on my life. I am not here to make straight A's (which would be an added bonus) :) Our speaker this week challenged us to manage our ministry not let our ministry manage us. I think that for ALL of us no matter what we are "doing" with our lives, it is easy to let our life manage us. Life gets so busy and we get so busy doing life! I encourage you to take some time and refocus....on Him.
