Life!

It's sometimes really depressing to me when I think about how many mundane things I have to do on a daily basis just to keep my life going. I think to myself "there will never be a day in your life where you can finally just stop balancing your check book, stop doing dishes, stop putting your clothes away, making your bed, or brushing your teeth" and I get so bored with life. I love living, don't get me wrong-and I love how many sweet adventures God has blessed me with so far in this short life of mine. But, other times I just hate planning, organizing, cleaning, and preparing. I get tired of my plan book, my grade book, my address book, and I just want to lay in a big sunny field and take a big breath. But, it seems if I don't hang on for dear life and work so hard, nothing happens! Even when I am pretty on top of things, I still feel out of contact with so many long-distance friends. How can I stop striving?? I can't. I have a task that God has set out for me, and I want to accomplish it and hear him say "Well done!" So, I will continue to do the small things that pave the way for the bigger things. I may be teaching kids about small stuff now, but I think God's got some bigger fish for me to fry later in life. Hold on tight.
