Am I Taking On Too Much?

At the beginning of each month I sit down with my planner, wall calendar, & cell phone & input my schedule for the month. So, today, I sat down & did my schedule for September. After I was done I looked at my calendar & the first thing that came to my mind was "OH MY GOD! That's FULL!". I suddenly realized that I have taken on QUITE a bit.

In addition to being a stay at home mom & housewife, I am also watching my friends 3 year old son 3 days a week (Mon, Tues, Fri or Wed, Thur, Fri from 130pm-11pm). I have been doing that for a couple months now, no big deal. The boy is like a second child to me. Now, in addition to him & my daughter, I will be taking on my other friends 4 month old daughter 5 days a week (Mon-Fri 545am-3pm). This might be a bit of a task, but not too horrible. The little girl is very laid back, & during our few days of trial run she did very well here & Brianna & Cody did very well with her being here. Well, today I got a call from the lady that leads our local bible study. She said they were looking for someone to run the daycare room from 9am-1115am every Thur morning while they have bible study. & of course what do I say? Sure! Not a problem. I informed the my friend with the little girl that her daughter would be going to bible study daycare with me, not a problem for her.

Now I'm looking & thinking. I'm just thinking "Am I taking on too much? Have I bitten off more than I can chew?". Yes, the money will be good. With this extra baby it's an additional $100 a week, & another $15 per session for the church daycare. I almost think that I might be burying myself though. Or maybe not.

Maybe being with children & doing daycare is what I was meant to do? Maybe all these opportunities are God's way of testing my abilities (& patience) & showing me what I am really capable of & what I was meant to do?

We will see soon enough though I guess!
