Diffuse...

I haven't written in a while. I gather that is because my thoughts have been rather diffuse lately and I've been significantly busy. My Mondays have turned into 14 hour work days, and my other days are normally about 9 hours of work. Today is my first day off in a while, and I'm sitting at home relaxing. I've been ill for a bit this week, but I have some great friends that took me in and really helped me get through my rut. They make my life complete.

I have found, this semester, that with the new Bible study having started, I am growing closer to some staff that I didn't really know before. I really, really enjoy studying the Word with them. It is quickly becoming the highlight of my week along with time I get to spend with the S*'s. It really makes me thankful. I am learning about myself and different things as I move through this illness, and I'm glad God is giving me the opportunity to learn.

I am so thankful for genuine relationships. Deeper relationships that move beyond passing greetings. It truly makes me smile to think of the people I am growing closer to.

My job is going well. I am slowly getting things done and am so thankful for my department secretary who is so good at her job and is amazing. I have interviewed some really awesome people in the last few months and I am happy to say that we are on track for a full staff next year of amazing people! I am thankful for some of the changes I see happening among the school community as a whole... And maybe it is just relationships I am building that are giving me a chance to see them, but I am truly in awe of some of the things I see. There is a lot of work to be done, but it's good to see things happening.

Slowly, slowly; little by little. Things are getting done...

Only 14 weeks left until summer... I'm trying to get ideas for the summer, but don't really know what to do. I guess we'll see what ends up happening.
