Hey yall,
So it may be spring break and all. But in between playgrounds, picnics, beach days, playdates and anything else I can think of to keep these kiddos busy and happy. There seems to be a never ending heap of laundry. Right when I feel like im getting somewhere, another basket appears haha. Then there is the planning of meals for the week, giving the dog a bath, the much needed yard work, etc. lol. No rest for this mama! I know you know how I feel yall.
As I was planning the lessons for next week...yes, its almost back to the grind for these monkeys and I. I got to thinking.... How nice would it be if there was a planner that included it "all". You know, a planner for the normal daily, weekly, monthy schedules (sports, playdates, the usual) But what if it went a step further and offered a short devotional, a morning prayer and bible verse, a place for sermon and bible study notes, even a journal area for daily thoughts or goals... Just a catchall for our lives.
Something that doesnt just help us jot down our chaotic schedules, but reminds us how to slow down and take time out of those chaotic schedules of ours for prayer, bible study and reflection. Somethings that helps us prioritze all aspects of our lives. Kids, family, home, work and church.
Because sometimes life gets the best of us. We get so used to the things we have and are blessed with. That honestly we take them for granted. Not that some amazing planner will change all that, after all thats asking a lot out of a planner haha. But a simple reminder along the way to keep growing in our faith, to take a breath and slow down, to pray, to study and to remember God is good each and every day. Now wouldnt that just be an awesome perk to an otherwise monotonous task of scheduling!!!
So as I sit here distracted from my lesson plans for next week, if anyone knows of an amazing, catch all, just have to have because its so great planner like the one in my head lol. Please do share hahaha.
Guess its back to my good old planning book for now....
