Whew!

This season of my life is the busiest I've had yet. Folks tell me it will only get busier... but somehow I can't imagine life being any busier. I don't doubt those folks; I just don't have an imagination with that capacity.

Perhaps someday I'll be looking back at these days, and sighing for their "slow pace"...Maybe. :)

But I'm not complaining. ...I think. I want to use these years to accomplish all I possibly can - through Christ - for His kingdom. I like being young, and full of energy, and full of things to do.

And, on the other hand, I don't always feel like I'm busy enough. There's so much to be done!

Today I spent most of the morning cutting, peeling, and boiling a pumpkin, to make more pumpkin butter. I wish there was a faster way to peel pumpkins! Before breakfast I was able to have a nice long reading and prayer time, and even got a little writing done.

I had hoped to do some sewing this morning, but it didn't happen. This afternoon, I need to teach history to three of my siblings, give piano lessons to two of them, take a trip to the library, run another errand, finish the pumpkin butter, make a phone call, and get some sewing done. ...Oh yes - and tidy my room, make a dish for supper, finish a letter, and study Spanish, ...if I have time.

Opps - got to run. The butter is bubblin', and my siblings are waiting.

Ta ta!
