Enjoy Our World

I won't call today a task failure but rather a postponement. It's been a busy old day and in all the activity seeds have not been planted- but they will be on Monday.
I'm worried I might have a week of postponements as I'm working 5 of the next 7 days - that's 5 12hr shifts - and I just don't know how I'll make that work. I think part of Monday might be spent planning how not to feel like I'm failing this week.
I feel like I do lots of 'putting things off' at the moment, or brushing things aside- to make room for study or to try and process my work situation - and it's often spending quality time with God that gets pushed aside. I'm so busy studying religion I don't have the time to do it!

Enjoy Our World

The end of the first week has arrived really quickly. Today's task was to plant seeds- not really achievable from my hotel room! The kids planted their seeds with their dad, sent me photos and Skyped me so I could share their experiences.
My hotel is in the middle of a golf course and quite an artificial environment. I have tried in my own way to enjoy the world around me.
I ate breakfast overlooking the golf course and it was lovely to look at the early morning sky. I also took time to go outside and breathe the fresh air between the teaching sessions. There was a beautiful sunset on our way to evening prayer which unfortunately I didn't get chance to photograph.
There's beauty all around if you look for it.

I'm pretty exhausted from my week but a delightful highlight this evening was being flash-mobbed by the shortly to be ordained 3rd years during our evening meal to a bit of Footloose.

Genesis 1.31: God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.
