Tonight marks the end of another weekend. Although I was extremely worn down at the end of last week, there seemed to be little reprieve slated for the weekend. I've got a lot of things going on. Little things that have the potential for taking up some serious personal time, namely troubleshooting computers and household chores that are difficult to accomplish during the week. However, the reprieve I desperately needed came in part not through resting on the couch, but by laughing with Friends at dinner on Friday evening and serving at church on Saturday night and this morning.
I've been feeling so overwhelmed and burned out lately, but fellowship and serving really seemed to bring about a joy in my spirit. I'm very grateful and happy to experience this calm in the storm. Thank you Lord for my family and friends and everything good that you've brought about in my life!
Tomorrow marks another crazed workweek of deadlines, projects, unimagined troubles and stress. However, by putting on the armor of God and trusting that He's been protecting me and fighting on my behalf, I know things will be alright. I really believe that.
Ephesians 6:11-13 (New International Version)
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Joshua 23:3
You yourselves have seen everything the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the LORD your God who fought for you.
Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Good Night
