My New Life

So, it is 11am on Thursday morning and I am needing to grow accustomed to this new lifestyle. Here I am sitting on my couch in the middle of the day. I got up at 7:30am, ate breakfast with Justin while we watched the Today show (his classes started a little later today as a result of early morning PT - physical training), looked around on the computer, went on a long run in this humid and hot climate, and took a relaxing shower. This afternoon looks like this: do a devotional, eat lunch, read and take a nap, maybe file some papers, make dinner, practice, and watch the Office on NBC (yes, I am really looking forward to that!). I can't help thinking about what life would be like if I were in Oregon right now. Getting up at 5:30am, scarfing down breakfast and getting ready in a rush, going to school and teaching 4 band classes by this point in the day. Wow, what a difference in lifestyle! Part of me really misses my life in Salem. I enjoy having people "needing" me and relying on me to help them through their day. Yes, I know that Justin needs me and looks forward to me preparing dinner, but we both know that he is perfectly capable of making his meals too. :) Thankfully I am not bored yet. I am starting to adjust to this much slower lifestyle and am enjoying being available to meet new people and participate in daytime activities.

So now my questions is: What is God trying to teach me during this time? I know that I am supposed to be patient. Like I mentioned before, I want to take advantage of this "vacation" from my other life, but I also don't want to be lazy. For an busy and active person like me, God has sure taken on a challenge in changing my life and perspective. Ha Ha Ha! Thankfully He is so much bigger than me and already has a plan for my life.
