Will there ever be a time...

... when my life is not swamped?

I'm learning to come to terms with the fact that I will not have a time of complete rest and I'm learning how to "rest on the run" if you will. Which leads to an interesting conversation about "what is rest?"

Things are a bit tense at work lately. Our center director, Sue, has been hit with a lot lately and there are so many things that are not going well during our growing pains and her training time, that I'm sure she's frustrated. While I'm sympathetic to that, I have the greater question before me. How can I solidify what I do? How can things that go chaotic when I am not here (such as testing) move to order so that Sylvan isn't in turmoil when I'm not working there?

This and another project not Sylvan related has shown me more and more that we truly do nothing outside of prayer. In and of myself and my strength I can do nothing and I have no good solution -- no God solution, but only man's solution. I need Him more than ever.

How can people live without the Lord and not go crazy? I don't know....
