Time...what's that?

So the last month or so since I last wrote in here has been absolutely CRAZY nuts!! I know that the start of school is always a busy time but I feel like this has been worse than normal.  I have felt at times like a new teacher and many times feel like I am barely staying afloat.  I will start to see a light and then more stuff is piled on.  I have decided that I am going to work on prioritizing the work things that are most important and make sure those get done.  After that, I will do what I can but I will not be taking the stresses home with me and if I don't get to something, life will go on.  I feel that is important to my sanity.  Also, I feel like the place that I was at in my spiritual walk 3 months ago is not where I am now and I want to be there.  That is a much higher priority in my life than a job.  I know that my job is important and teaching kids is a really big deal...but...God and my journey with him is much more important.  God has done so many amazing things in my life that I have to give him what I feel like he deserves.  I also fully believe that God has a particular purpose for my life...some of that purpose may involve the students that I teach.  If I let the stresses of the day get me down, I can't fulfill that purpose or any other purpose God has for me.  I am praying for the ability to handle my stress and serve my purpose as I grow closer in my walk with Him!!
