August is shaping up to be a busy month so far and we are only 9 days in.  Between school, outside activities, working on my notebook pages and planning for a vacation in a couple of weeks, my mind has been whirling.  Even while I sleep, the thoughts about the day’s events and what I want to do wake me.  I wonder why my mind works this way.  I have always been driven by an invisible deadline.  Yesterday I finished the last of my notebook pages, but when I tried to convert them to PDF’s, a few pages messed up.  Now I will be trying to fix the problem.  Before we go on vacation, we have to get new tires and get the bees out of the camper.  School is moving along smoothly, but my daughter is still challenging the reasoning behind the different methods of learning we are using this year.  I feel committed to post, but there are some times I just can’t think of anything to say worth someone reading.  Now, mind you, I’m sure this sounds like I am complaining, but quite the contrary.  I am grateful for all these situations.  They keep me on my toes and expand my thinking process.  I believe that God uses them to challenge and stretch me, to strengthen and mold me into someone He can use.  It’s all part of the learning process that continues in our lives forever.  I thank God that He has such value in me that He continues to bless my life with opportunities to praise Him and see Him at work. 

2 Timothy 3:14-17

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
