(17) In just one month

At the beginning of any new month, when my husband sees the calendar, he'll say, "It looks like we already lived this month" because its so full. That's not hard to have happen when even just 1 or 2 details for each of 8 lives are all written out in one place. Somehow with ever opportunity to plan or host a big event or a private job to fund raise we can fit another thing in. I often wonder "are we running faster than we are able". God has cautions us against this and I want His blessings so I need to obey Him. I need to trust that after all we can do that He will do the rest. To be honest not everything can get done that goes on the calendar or our daily list. My prayer each morning is that we will know what is most important and get it done; throughout the day I pray that we will put our wills aside when needed; as the day unfolds I pray that we are doing these; and at the end of they day I take it to our Father and ask Him to bless what we have done and that I'll have peace about what still remains or won't get done. There are days I feel exhausted like I can't do one more event or job.Then I remember I'm not doing it - we are with God. We are given the ability and means to keep going. We need Him every hour. These are all the things we did, just in September:

(I LOVE this video my talented daughter Amelia made to advertise our 1st movie night.)

We were hired to walk a little boy to and from preschool on Mondays and Wednesdays

We babysat for 2 families weekly. The first family is on Tuesdays and a second family on. Wednesdays. And manytimes a thrid or fourth family on any given day.
We sold concessions at a friends soccer game. 

Hosted a second FREE movie night and sold concessions. 

We tried to sell concessions each weekend at local flag football or soccer games but because of poor air quality from fires in the area we were only able to do 3 weekends. 

We were hired to bring in their trash barrels and collect the mail for a neighbor for a week. 

We were hired to cat sit for another neighbor.

A friend that sells essential oils came to our home and helped teach about the blends for different purposes. Those that came made their own remedies. 

We were hired to clean and do some chores for a neighbor.

We mowed lawns and did yard work several times at a few homes.
