busyness

ahhhh busyness :-p

it seems like no matter where you live, no matter what you do, you still face the same obstacles in your life. those things are: managing time, money, and relationships.

for the most part tova and i have been doing very well with so many aspects of our lives here in korea. it hasnt been until the past couple of weeks that we had to truly tackle the managing time thing.

tova and i both will tell you that we strive to be good stewards of our time. at times we have been successful and at times we have failed. but the past couple of weeks, and until december are a completely different beast . . .

we HAVE TO watch every second of every day. if we dont then we leave things undone that really need to get done.

a couple of weeks ago we were approached by the office of education and given the opportunity to teach some extra classes. we gladly accepted the challenge not knowing what we were getting ourselves in to. now i am in the process of re-writing a wizard of oz script to include a dorothy AND timothy, and doubling up on the lion, tin-man, and scarecrow. should be rather interesting. we are going to tape the play when they perform it and definitely post it. it should be awesome!

on top of this my school has asked me to start another HUGE project with my 2nd grade class. this is two large projects in one semester, and time is ticking.

so we are juggling a lot of balls, but we are thoroughly enjoying it.

we are also to crunch time about making a decision on staying a second year or not. please pray for us as this is a big decision. we dont have any job prospects in america, at this time, but at the same time its tough to say good-bye to "normal" life for a whole 'nother year. my pops has said "you can do ANYTHING for one year" and we have done that? will this adventure be as exciting a 2nd time around?

we miss you all, and will tell you when we have vacation dates/going home dates as soon as we know

it seems like there are so many things up in the air, but then we think about the One who holds us in our hands, and we have some kind of peace come over us that lets us know that "everything works together for good for those that love the Lord" then the busyness doesnt seem that overwhelming :-)
