Overwhlemed...

To say that the last month has been overwhelming is an understatement. The last thing I want to do is turn this blog entry into one big complaint but I am ready for the pace of my life to slow down so that I can begin to enjoy my new job, my friends, my family, etc. These last few weeks I haven't known whether I was coming or going and that is no good for my sanity. This picture pretty much describes how I have felt....trying to eat from an extremely large spoon. Or as my friend and new boss Eric would say..."we've been drinking from a fire hydrant."

Here's an overview of the last few weeks:
August 1-7th Head Advisor training and the start of training my replacement
August 8-12 Residenct Assistant Training and continued training of my replacement
August 13-14th MOVE IN DAYS for students
Agustu 15-19 Welcome Week and Registration and continued training of my replacement
August 22-26 First week of classes, continued training of my replacement and the beginning of going insane because I still didn't have an office, voicemail, emails, etc

This Saturday I finally came up to the office with the help of Christian Vige and did a complete make over of my office. Pictures are on my facebook wall if you want a peak.

Today is the official start of my new job and the release from housing issues, etc. Life has been a little overwhelming, a little stressful and unfortunately in the pinch I have not always responded with grace. I started today with a good cup of coffee and some sweet time in the Word and trusting that when Paul says that God is working in me giving me the DESIRE and the POWER to do what please Him that it's true. So here's to living in the power, knowledge and truth that Christ at work in me!

Happy Monday friends!
