I am in serious want of a haircut. I've got to fight this urge, however, because I'm almost at my goal. I'm trying to grow my hair out for Locks of Love. Technically, I could go and get it all cut off right now and it'd be long enough. But then my hair would be super short. P doesn't want it to be super short. I also know about 3 days after I got it cut this short, I'd hate it and be mad at myself. I know this would happen, but I still want a haircut. Maybe I just want a change.
Tomorrow is my last day of school before spring break. That means just 8 more class periods until I get 9 days away from my kids. No one can even understand how badly I need to be away from my classroom and my school and all of those kids. After this break, Only 1 more nine week period to go. Then this year is over. I can make it...
Our trip to New Orleans is just a couple days away. We really don't have any set plans while we're down there. We're just going to get away from Memphis for a few days. The phones will be turned off. No alarms will be set. We get to just enjoy ourselves and relax. P has told me I must learn to relax. This trip should help that happen.
This morning, I spent my entire drive to work in prayer. I've let myself get very bogged down by the things around me that I have little or no control over. I've let those things begin to control my feelings and reactions. I've let those things begin to take control of my thoughts and heart. I cannot be controlled by those negative thoughts and fears anymore. So, I just spent the 25ish minutes it takes me to get to work praying that God would take over. I want to believe this situation is minor in the grand scheme of things. It's pretty major in the grand scheme of our lives. I can't deal with it on my own anymore. P and I can't carry it on our backs anymore. We need help. We need prayers. We need to let go.
I stinking love this version...
