Easter Week (Week 39)

The home continues to slowly get closer to being done. I feel like it still is a battle to get anything done. Monday and Tuesday some more renovations were being done and bunk beds were being moved in. Wednesday morning, I asked for a check to buy the remaining items for the home so that after Easter the girls could move in. But I waited all day for the check and was unable to cash it by the time I had gotten it. Then, Thursday, I had to go and pick up my visa/work permit, which took all day and in the end I didn't even get it and have to go back on Tuesday. It was a very frustrating two days. Plus on Thursday most places closed early because of Easter. Luckily, I was able to chas the check for the furniture on Thursday, while I was waiting on my visa. So Saturday, I purchased the mattresses for the beds. But backing up to Friday, Friday was much better than the previous two days. I was able to relax and even though I have all these things to do I realized I wasn't going to be able to do them so I decided not to worry about it and enjoy the day! Which is what I needed I think. I am starting to realize I have only two months left. I still feel like I have so much work to do. Knowing I only have a little time left makes me feel stressed and frustrated when everything is taking forever to get done! I think that was why Friday was so important for me to just take time to relax and spend some time with God. God showed me that I needed to just slow down and not be in such a rush all the time. He showed me how easily I've been getting caught up in all the drama and petty little things going on. I need to fight against the negative and the drama and remember why I am here. I have two months to go and I want to glorify God in all that I do from here on out!
On another note, Easter was really good but it was also hard being away from home. I realized how much I love Easter time and going to church and having fellowship with other believers. I am excited to come home and have that constant support from other believers. It's hard to be on your own in your beliefs sometimes but God is there for us and I have learned to trust in him a lot more than I ever have before!
