Kiddy pools are not good for the soul

So much has been happening this past week that I have come to a complete halt. While I loved helping my sister with her wedding preparations, I was not so keen on how constant we had to keep moving and going only to finally get to sleep for a short while.

I haven't had much time to focus on my impending internship starting next Tuesday. I haven't had much time to focus on "filling up" as it were. Constantly being on the move has made me feel a little shallow; there hasn't been much time to focus on the Word. Times of prayer have been confined to:

"Dear God please allow us to get everything prepared before the wedding, and please help us not to snap at one another."


Obviously the word "focus" is a theme here.


Today I did some work cleaning up what was left of the reception from the wedding, not with a happy heart mind you. I was tired of having no time to just sit and reflect and ponder. As I was working I was well aware inside myself that being able to work is a gift and we shouldn't grumble when we work because it is a gift from God. Yes, really, I did think about this as I was stacking chairs.

But I couldn't help but to stay upset because I knew how I felt inside and how I needed time to just think about recent events and about future events.

Spiritually, I need to do more to be prepared before I leave. I'm not a fan of spiritual warfare and I would like to reinforce what I already have.

Because as of this night, I feel shallow.

I ask you, faithful readers and those of you dropping by, please pray that this shallow feeling will subside. Pray that spiritual warfare as I go and even before I go, will meet it's match; God is bigger than warfare, he gives us peace. 

Thank you for all that you do for me. I am excited to go and do work for the Lord this summer overseas; I am grateful for any opportunity I get to do the Lord's work. I just feel the need to dig deeper once again. 

All to God
