We've come around to Sunday again. It's been a full week (and weekend). I am now finally done with most of the reorganizing/redecorating for my room for the near future. And as I sit and have a chance to finally catch my breath and think in the stillness with nothing from work crowding in, I think this week will need to be different from last week in more ways than one.
I know we all have bad weeks, but I think this past one was just particularly bad because I felt so tired that I decided to let routine/discipline slip a bit. Either way, lesson learned. That just led to me feeling more exhausted and it was a rather awful positive feedback loop. This week, I will be more deliberate about spending some quiet time in the Word, making an effort to be still and just listen. Funny how it takes effort to slow down and be still. Newton's first law, anyone? That is, until we just break down and can't do it anymore. Anyway, misplaced priorities lead to misplaced attitudes and general misery all around, I'm starting to think.
Sunday School class on making disciples is going well - I'm learning. And being stretched. It is so nice to be able to practice (and work on being less quiet) in a safe environment. So thankful for that. I'd like to learn all that I can over these next few months. And while I'm learning, I'd like to share what I'm learning with others. So, to anyone who's willing to listen/interested, I'd love to pass along what I'm learning... thanks in advance for being patient. Last week was learning about the four general stages of discipleship. This week was about sharing our faith, so today we learned about the Bridge Illustration and associated verses. More on that soon.
