Lately i have been just keeping steady with life. It caught up with me the day the boys were born and I simply haven’t been able to outrun it since. I have priorities in life and these priorities are the only thing that have kept me in the running and frankly on pace. My priorities go something like this:
1. Time with God -solitude, study
2. Time with family -Leah and the boys and phone conversations with Dylan and Brody’s grandparents and I can’t forget the pets.
3. Work -meetings, classes, relationships, spiritual formation, event planning, administrative duties, video creation
4. Graduate school -9 hours this semester which included a short course and 3 hours in a maymester coming up. Only two years until graduation.
5. Relationships outside of work -spiritual director (we meet every week, well we try, small group at church, communicating to friends
6. Entertainment -Mostly watching the boys, watching recorded TV with Leah, an occaisional meal out, and a rare rented movie at home.
7. Writing -I pretty much stopped pursuing articles for journals right now and as you know blogging almost never.
I feel good about learning how to do life with twin infant boys. There may be some things that I will never be able to get to as often. I’m okay with that becasue they are worth it. Right now Leah and the boys are sleeping its my day off from work and I just finished two grad school projects, therefore I blog!
