Our first few days have been mostly good. I did panic a little when I saw the school bus pass by our house the other morning. I'm finding myself very tired at the end of this first short week. As I look on into the future of the school year I feel overwhelmed. How will I continue on at this pace? How will I avoid burn out? Am I short-changing anyone? What am I not covering? Is there a way to balance it all?
The only answer I am able to come up with is this: God gives enough for each day. Tomorrow will worry about itself- each day has enough trouble of its own. I can't look that far ahead. My vision is blurry and inaccurate. God sees, knows, hears, cares, comforts, and provides. I remember the manna. I am just going forward trusting that there is enough of Him to sustain me- moment to moment. One day at a time.
