Making More Time

So this weekend I don't have a paper due, and I feel FREE! Now, should I be working on stuff to get ahead for next week? Sure. But I neeeeeed this weekend. I'm making more time for me. There is sooo much I want to do before the end of the school year and before the wedding planning starts getting insane!

So I decided one way to make more time for me was to find a good book that is spiritually uplifting. Many people don't know this but I have a small devotional book that I read every night before bed. It's no more than a paragraph but usually it says some things I need to hear. I finished that up about 2 weeks ago and was looking for something else. Well, I have heard of a TON of people reading this book from what people have commented on blogs, friends at work, and Hope even has a Bible study centered on it. Unfortunately that Bible study is on a night I teach Jazzercise. Anyway, the book is Becoming More Than a Good Bible Study Girl by Lysa TerKeurst. I am only three chapters in and loving it. the way she writes is like you're having a conversation with her. However, what I have learned so far from reading it is that no one person, possession, or anything for that matter can fill what is empty in our lives. We have to fill that emptiness with God. So with this book, I plan on doing just that.

The past week or so has been a little tough on me. I've gotten overwhelmed at times. I've gotten frustrated at times. I've taken my anger out at the wrong people (coughcough Chris cough cough) at times. I can't do that anymore. It isn't fair. There is an emptiness that I'm feeling right now, and now I know how to fill it. It won't happen over night, but it will happen!

So what am I going to do with this glorious cloudy, cold, day off? Well, I'm about to watch the UT vs. Kentucky game and hope that UT can dominate Kentucky again! Can you believe I'm cheering for the vols? I'm really just cheering against Calipari. Saying it that way makes me feel better! While watching the game, I'm catching up on laundry...cleaning out my closet...and getting stuff organized. In seven months, I won't live in this house anymore. Kinda sad, but exciting to get to fix up a house of my own!

Well, I told myself that I have to get straight up off this couch and get to work. My blogging time was going to be the chance for my poor twitching muscles to recover after a full Circuit Jazzercise class and then a Bikini Body Pilates class right after that. Whew. It literally hurts to press the shift key and capitalize my words. Ha! Anyway, y'all have a great weekend! I know I am!
