there are the typical signs of fall: pretty folliage, the cool crisp air, the delicious smell of burning leaves, and my mum flipping through catalogs ordering sweaters.
i have another of course; school days finally settling down, feeling routine, means it’s fall.
they havent settled yet.
im not sure who or what to blame. maybe my own selfish desire to get my masters degree in 2 years. maybe the 200 new students at my school. maybe having a new boss for the 3rd year in a row. maybe teaching a PE class (im not joking). maybe all of these things combined have finally pushed me over.
em & i started a new bible study this week. it’s on overcoming stresss and worry. this weeks chapter was on scattered lives & i have never felt that more strongly. my life feels scattered. and maybe covered and diced and all those other options you get at ihop.
ive clung to the ditty bops and our memory verse this week. both seem to help a little.
“A prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the Lord. Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Don’t turn away from me in my time of distress. Bend down your ear and answer me quickly when I call to you, for my days disappear like smoke.” Psalm 102:1-3
