One of Those Days


Today is one of those days where I feel like . . . well, I think the picture tells it all!

 

I feel like a dog chasing my tail!!  Spinning in a circle going nowhere!

Yet . . . I have my list of ‘To-Do’s’ for the day and I’ve crossed off some of them but I still feel as if I’ve gotten no where today.

Many weeks . . . this can be my typical Monday feeling!  Maybe I should think of a word to give it . . hum, something to ponder on!

Busy Ministry Week

Last week was a busy ministry week and I loved every minute of it! Why?  Because God showed Himself so faithful and active . .  in the lives of others around me and in me.

Sometimes we just don’t always get to see it . . . and then there are days, even weeks, where you’re blessed to see Him working!

Last week I had the privilege of speaking to a MOPS group in the UP of Michigan on the topic of depression.  I had some reservation because some of what I wanted to share with the women could have really rocked their world.  Depression is a hot-topic these days and many seem to struggle with it . . . and the world has its answers . . and yet God has another.

Blessed Beyond Measure

The women at the MOPS group where an amazing group of ladies that radiated a love for one another, for their children and for Jesus!  They received well what I shared and my heart praised Him!

I had delightful conversations with many of the moms and I felt as if I had known these women all my life!

Training Opportunities

Also last week, I had the privilege and opportunity to share with others at my church how to love on those entrusted to them by Christ in their Small Groups.  Not only to love but how to reach deep and pull others into authentic, transparent and vulnerable relationships.  I also was honored to facilitate a discussion on how to practically apply 1 Thess. 5.14 ~ which says its the call to all to ‘admonish the unruly, encourage the faint-hearted, help the weak and be patient with everyone.’

God was good . . . as He is all the time!  With  such a week of busy ministry, I didn’t get time to blog at all ~ and today I sat here thinking, “Lord, what can I write on today?” And feeling as though I’m just spinning my wheels today has not helped in spurring my thinking.

Yet this I do know ~ God is just fine with slow days to refresh ourselves . . and so I should be also.  God is sovereign and knows what my day holds and what I accomplish . . or don’t accomplish . . . He is pleased with.  God loves me . . .and delights in being in fellowship with me . . . and probably chuckles at my ‘spinning’ . . . His grace is sufficient for this day ~ even if its one of those days.

How about you . . . how was your Monday?

Blessings,

Best Signature
