i am sitting on my couch, drinking coffee and listening to music. this is the first saturday in a while that i haven’t had anything that i had to do. last weekend, i biked 175 miles (100 on saturday) to raise money for the national MS society. the week before that was chores at the BSHOP including a monthly costco shopping trip. the week before that was a holiday.
i feel like i just blinked and the last 3 weeks fluttered by. i have been feeling somewhat worn down physically and was glad to sleep in today (until 9am!).
the house is empty today as most of the BSHOP are up at nordhouse dunes with a group of youth from sunshine church. we are doing a youth program for a week (or 10 days) where youth come and live with us for a week. we are calling it immersion. so, this weekend is the kickoff for the first of three immersions this summer. i am glad to have a day to myself, i have some things that i need to sort out in my mind and spirit.
my focus has been on one foot in front of the other for too long. i need to shift my focus to Christ. the heart, the mind, the soul, and the spirit all need to seek Him with everything that i have. anything less is just not enough.
