Today, I did something new. I went to starbucks and did my homework. It was quiet and peaceful and I was able to get my homework completed. I also finished up another class- Psychology and will begin another class- literature tomorrow. I look forward to the day when school work is no longer part of the routine. I do however have my table all scope out for next week at Starbucks. It was relaxing- not as many distractions as setting at my house or my office.

After I completed my homework I had a very productive evening. I finally went through all the stacks of paper that were overtaking my dining room. I had the kids go through their stuff and put it away. The dining room is clean...It looks like a dining room now! amazing! I then cleaned my kitchen and cooked supper. We also straighten the living room. It felt good.

Then after we got kids to bed, I started on my bedroom. I did manage to clean up some piles in there as well. It is not perfect yet- but a little progress is good.

God has really been working on me lately. He is asking me to examine some parts of my life. To look at some of my issues and allow him to work on those. I don't like looking at the issues too closely. For instance, I really struggle with self-discipline. I jokingly say I need a support group for this problem in my life. But seriously, my time, my money, my eating, my devotions, all these things require self-discipline. I use the word "my" and realize it is all God's and he is asking for me to be a better steward of his things. This week I am really focusing on what the next step is. God is faithful and is already showing me some "next steps" I need to be taking.

Now, I am going to go bed...tomorrow is a new day for me to use wisely!
