Life is unbelievably crazy right now so I'm taking a break to write about it. Mostly just to take a break. May is always a full month for the Sandefur household, with Mike and Connor's birthdays back to back, mother's day, and Grandma's birthday at the end of the month. This year we're adding in Abby's dance recital, Connor's spring program, Liberia team meetings, a variety of Soma events, and the annual Serve the Children benefit auction.
Just to put the icing on the cake, I start clinical rotation at the hospital on Monday, which means I'm pretty much off the map Sunday-Tuesday because of all the paperwork that goes with it. And no, the house hasn't closed yet. Right now it looks like that could actually happen at some point in the future, which is amazing in itself. I had pretty much deemed it impossible a few weeks ago and was trying to figure out where we were going to live since our other house is occupied with renters for a year. Don't even get me started on the house stuff. I trust God, and that's really all there is to say about that, because none of it makes any sense when you look at it from a human view point. I laugh (and cry) at the absurdity of it every day.
I've been locked away in my room to study except for meals and class since Saturday evening, because Saturday was so beautiful I refused to study at all and worked in the garden, played with the kids, and finished my book instead. Thank God for that lecture on the importance of self-care.
I hate the way that time slips through your fingers so quickly you don't get to savor the moments. On the other hand, I'm almost halfway through school already, and I leave for Liberia in a very short 49 days. And it's not like this life is all there is, anyway! So much to do now, so much to look forward to. Even in all the insanity, God is so good.
