I have been typing and deleting for the past 5 minutes. I get something going and realize that it isn't making sense unless you're in my brain. I have a few sentences and delete them because they sound whiney. I begin to see something come together but cut it all because, "Do I really want people seeing this side?"
Whether it's social media highlight reels, pride, or the belief that as a leader people should be able to think I have it all together, the reality is that we all have Monday mornings. We all have bad days. We all have wins that seem to be followed by losses. We all have real life things that happen and while I am equally as guilty as anyone else in trying to hide away the negative, I can't deny that some days I just want a reset button. Today marks the beginning of a week off. It was supposed to be vacation--going away, having family time away from everything--but things happened and I am home. Donny even had to give back two of his vacation days this week because they are so short handed at work. I can complain about it and be super bummed out but I think I'll shift my perspective.
I was able to sleep in today! I mean, if you count 6:30am sleeping in after a night of very little sleep. But hey! I didn't have an alarm set and I didn't get up at 5. Win. I was able to sit in the quiet for longer than normal and read my Bible and drink my coffee and listen to podcasts today. I am going to have time to spend with my people without feeling rushed. I hope to finish reading a couple books this week.
I plan to get my house back in order.
And in full honesty but with great trepidation, I am grateful that one of us is simply dealing with bad allergies, and two of us have simple sinus/cold crud going on and not anything more. No one likes to feel yucky but after the past 19 months, negative tests are pretty much the best things, amiright?
Also, it has been well over a month since I released an episode of The Preacher Chick Podcast. I am not finished! I am praying and planning for the next season.There is more to come!
There’s this interesting stirring going on. I feel like some things are up in the air and unclear. This usually sends me into panic mode. Oddly enough I have a strong peace and a trust unlike any other. rest well and do all of your favorite things this week.
