Psalm 25:4-5

4 Show me your ways, LORD,
   teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in your truth and teach me,
   for you are God my Savior,
   and my hope is in you all day long.

    I love reading the Psalms for several reasons. First of all, it amazes me how I can read exactly what I need to hear when I turn to them. Second, I can easily copy short passages into blog posts and show you, the reader, what I am talking about each day.

    School's out. I finished my classroom. I finished my files. I sign my summer leave forms. I locked my classroom door, not to return until at least July. I have to work three days over the summer, but there is no point in going until my classroom floor has been waxed. That won't happen for a few weeks. So what is a teacher to do that has no work to do??? (I am secretly laughing at that statement!) The list goes on and on.

    This is my time to turn my attention to my house and my family. I have trips planned and kitchen cabinets to paint, closets to clean out and furniture to move. I also have a child that needs to be potty-trained! I wish that we all I needed to do, but I feel God knocking on my heart with this whole write-for-money idea. In addition to all my summer plans, I will also write. I am working on a job now, and I am in negotiations with clients for two more. At times like this I pray the two verses above. I ask God to show me the path I should take.

    Enjoy your summer, friends! But also check to see if God has summer plans for you!
