Let's move on, shall we?

Since I've accomplished all the things on my "to-do" list (see previous post) and surgery is now over (it went well, email me if you want to know more), it's time to move on.
I was finally able to pray last night about what is coming next. I don't know what's been blocking me or stopping me from praying about my future, but something was. But last night, as I lay in bed, I found myself thanking God for what's next. Telling him I'm excited for whatever it is he has, and how I need his direction right now because I don't know where to start.
So today I will work on my application for within the Lutheran school system. I printed the essay questions a few weeks ago, lost the first copy, and printed a new one yesterday. Today I will write the answers. Things like my philosophy of education, about my own faith, why I'm committed to the doctrines and teachings of the LCMS. You know, simple stuff like that. To me the answers are pretty simple, but I need to make them sound professional. Hmmm...that should be super fun.
I've spent a lot of time this week with people I love and care about. My love tank is just about full, and it's only Wednesday. I was supposed to take it easy this week. Lay low. I've been so tired from the procedure last week, that it's hard not to take it easy. I've had lots of people who are happy to rest with me. Many movies have been watched, conversations had, and naps taken. I'm going to spend some more time reading Waking the Dead by John Eldredge today. I think I'll get to that right now.

So far, in seven days, I have completed report cards for 22 students, packed and moved my entire classroom (including sorting through many years of files!), hosted a 40th anniversary part, written a letter to everyone who received my initial support letter to let them know I will not be pursuing the development project with HTI, addressed 320 envelopes, and put them all in the mailbox. I call every single donor between yesterday and today, and either left messages or spoke directly with them. I cleaned my house, did all my laundry, and still had time to watch disc 3 of season 3 of The Office. I am feeling exceedingly accomplished. I'll bask in this for just a bit.
