Spring Break Break Down

I have been so busy with life. Just looking back at previous posts, I am sad that I have not had anything better to say. I am not an intelligent blogger. So, here is another snip-it of my life.

I really needed this break to slow down and relax. I started reading "Knowledge of the Holy" by Tozer. It is really good. I made a list the other day of all of the books I wanted to read and I had a long list!! I really had a ton of Piper to read and some other authors. For all of these years Kathy has read a book and told me everything about it, I never felt compelled to read it myself. So, now that she is having Josiah in less than a month, I hope to do the same for her. I love reading but because I do not read frequently, I read really slowly.

Second, I have been watching my friend's house and picking up their mail and last night the alarm went off. I got a call from the family this morning as I was on my way to tutor. I had to call the alarm company and talk to them about what happened. It was really weird. I am not sure what happened because the alarm went of one hour later after I left their house, so maybe I did not set the alarm correctly. I am not sure. I am just confused because if I had set it incorrectly, it should have gone off earlier than an hour later.

Third, this seems to be like my life. I feel like I am doing things right and later God sets off the alarm. Last night when I heard the sirens in the neighborhood, I ignored them. I have a hard time being sensitive to God's voice. He sets the alarm off and I am too busy to pay attention and listen. If I had decided to go to their house last night when I heard the sirens three streets over, the mess this morning could have been avoided. I often miss God's warnings and find myself in a mess. I really need to become more sensitive to listening and hearing His voice, not mine.

So, it is the last day of Spring break and well, I have a lot of homework to do. I have a whole play to memorize. ARRGG! I never understand why teachers give work over a break. It is a break from school. I guess not.
