busy, busy...

these past couple weeks have been a bit busy and while most of the time i am ok with busy, i just wasn't. not to say i didn't enjoy most of what was happening, it just seemed like too much of everything...and a lack of the things i really needed. i didn't get to spend as much time as i would have liked with zack, it won't be happening again. i didn't get to spend very much time with music and that is no good. that was a one time thing too. these are just a start to the list.
i told zack that after the week, i will be learning to say no. that has always been a difficult thing for me. i like to help so i say yes to everything and sometimes it is just too much and i can see how saying yes too much can be a bad thing now. you over book, things begin to overlap, and it has potential to just be a mess. i didn't get to mess, praise the Lord, but i think it had potential to get there had i not stepped back:) i am a list person so this week i am making a list of the things that need to exist in my life and everything else will be on the 'if i have free time' list.
this week zack and i committed to two things, scratch that four. first spending time with each other and friends, second, going through the easter reading for church, third doing music and writing, and fourth marriage counseling:)
we had a good end to the week and start to the week. friday and saturday night brian, ryan, richard and myself did music for a little winter camp. it was nice, i think it was different for all of us but we really enjoyed it. we were supposed to be there and there was this kid there named jacob that really stood out to us and i was happy that he was there. sunday night was incredible. we went to service and john spoke about Jesus entering Jerusalem. he spoke about how rulers entered cities one of two ways. on a horse or on a smaller animal like a donkey and what that meant for the rulers and the people. the horse represented power and conquer and pride. the donkey represented humility and peace and so many other good things. Jesus went in peace, is peace, how beautiful is that.
i know this consists of just a bunch of little things but i needed to just catch up so from here on out it would be up to date:) have a good day. if it is just crummy eat ice cream or fly a kite or just look at a nice photo but don't be down too long...
