Project November Day 11

Day 11: A quote that you try to live by

(original source unknown - spotted on Pinterest)

I struggle with being still. I am a workaholic. I am constantly working or thinking or doing and often times my own plans get in the way of something God is trying to tell me. Usually I have to become completely overwhelmed before I am reminded that I need only be still and hand everything over to the Lord, because He will fight for me. I don't need to waste time worrying or stressing because God is sovereign and no matter what happens, He sits on His throne and He is watching out for me.

My first week of spring break went something like this:

Don't judge me!!

#356: SADCC Day 23: the basic loop

This one seems an awful lot like the modern one loop from Day 5... another one of those that is too similar to truly call a different style, but whatevs. Only two more scarf ties to go!!

#350: SADCC Day 17: the key tie

I was so proud of myself for this one... and then I looked at the video again and realized it doesn't look anything like that it's supposed to! Oh well, I like the way it came out anyway. Today's picture represents today - multitasking for a super productive second day of vacation.

#276: a day off

What do you do when you don't have school? Go to Switzerland and spend your life's savings on coffee, what else?!

#228: here we go again

Most people make new year's resolutions, but I make new school year resolutions. And every year there's a running resolution. So today, a week before classes start, I went for my first run in months. It felt much better than I expected it to. My intention was to ease back into things with a 10 minute run but ended up going for over 20. Time to get into shape since I'm signed up to run in the Basel Marathon on September 11!*

*I am signed up to run 1/6th of the Basel Marathon, which actually only equals about 4.3 miles.

#226: guess what I made?

I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with bocha boconut biced boffee and is sold at a place that rhymes with barbucks.

#224: weed eaters

This morning we had kids out at the school to weed the courtyard. Another step closer!!

#223: from the [un]mixed-up files...

The file drawers in our new staff office are approximately half the size of the file drawers in our old office. My file drawer was stuffed. Yesterday and today my project was to sort, reorganize, and PURGE the files. I am pleased to report that my new files are about one third the size they used to be!! I needed to see some tangible progress this week.

#221: another step closer

For the next week or two, my pic of the day will probaly be coming from my work at our new campus, getting everything set up for opening day. I did not partake in this project but instead documented the progress. Just one step closer to being a school!
