Twenty days of doing the same thing every day. Twenty days of checking each item off even when it meant staying up late to get it done. Twenty days of putting my head down and pushing through. It feels good to build consistency in my life. The different things are not yet a natural part…
Yesterday was tough! There are days when I jump into tasks only to have time zip by with out notice. Yesterday was one of those days. Our church had taken off having Wednesday night activities for the summer and last night they started back. That meant that the couple of hours at night that I…
