Dear God, help me discern my limits, help me take a break with ease and serenity, before im completely exhausted. Let your strength overflow through me. And may I serve You well through every act of service for my family, friends & neighbors.
I am addicted to efficiency. But I am learning to let go of control. I am more willing to accept help and rest before I fall. And yet, I push my limits. Always. If I rest a bit here, I then add a bit of energy and focus there.
This weekend was full to the brim, but my mind delighted in the activities and conversations.
I picked up Nicole from the airport Saturday evening. As we prepared the room and planned for dinner, I decided to go half an hour early and swim before heading to the airport. Said and done. And it energized me. We had other guest for dinner and the conversation was riveting. Sunday was spent in town though it was cold. We had drinks and lunch at the indian restaurant. We went to the transfiguration church for the morning service and walked around town a lot. Dinner was again full around the table and we loved the company and conversation. Like the old days. A few years ago we socialized a lot with Liviu and Camilla and mutual friends.
Monday I dropped the kids at the school, went swimming and got home to pick up Nicole and take her to therein station. Her train was late. Our ears froze off. Nearly. Then I went good shopping and right after went to pick up kids from school. Ivy and three other little ones. Jackie goes to music school directly. We had lunch and now I am getting ready to drive to the airport to pick up Melissa. She goes to the same conference in Sighisoara. Tonight we have another full house and full table. It’s sunny and I feel cozy on this couch but I need to get up in 2 minutes and head out.
Feeling energized and yet physically tired from the driving and talking and the pickups. Before dinner I have to drive to get Jackie from music school. Today was wild.
