Busy but Blessed Times

This is the part of the school year I typically dread. TAKS time. It's rough getting my kids through this period. They are tired (I'm tired) the rest of the year is before us--- they have 3 tests to prepare for, mounting pressure... and spring break over 42 days away! I've learned more about making the "drab" seasons of life more manageable. I've recognized that I need to praise through it all. I've told my kids this, but I know I need to apply it to my own life as well- we're running a marathon here, not a sprint. It's about keeping the pace, steadily progressing, accepting help along the way. Thank you, Lord that you run with us. It is really all we need.
