Gripes

This is my little gripe session.  It is not going to be huge or heavy.  Just... I am tired.

I am tired, tired, tired.  Got to school a little after 6:30am, and left a little after 6pm.  My feet hurt.  I am hungry.  I am tired.  I still have more to do.  ALWAYS!

I am not sure if I hate that part or love it.  I am never done.  There is always SOMETHING to do.  Sometimes it is a great thing.  I am NEVER bored.  I can always find something to do.  Always.

Anyway, I am tired.  Oh, and my voice hurts...

The main problem, though, is me.  I forget.  I forget in the middle of it all, in the middle of the questions, the directions, the confusion and chaos.  I forget.  I forget WHO I am there for.  I get tired.
I remember at the beginning of the day, and I remember during Bible time, and on Wednesdays I remember during chapel, but in between, I forget.
I don't forget willfully.  I don't think to myself "I am going to forget WHO I am here for."  I just get lost.  I get lost in the questions, and the OH!s and the Huh?s and the chatter and chaos.  I get lost, and I get tired.

But, when I remember.... When I remember WHO I am there for....When I remember and take a moment....just a moment, to pause, and breathe in, and KNOW, I am refreshed.  I am renewed, and although my feet still hurt, and my voice still hurts, and I am hungry, and I still have more to do, I still feel peace.

Help me remember
Help me to remember the WHO in the midst of life.
Help me to take a moment
Help me to breathe
