It's funny how the thing you love can become the thing you hate. The last few weeks have been very intense. Mostly planning, meetings, traveling, speaking, raising money . . . all for our new church. I love this church. I put my heart and soul into it daily. But, from time to time, I just get full. I hit a wall. I don't want to think, hear or talk about the church.
That's where I got to on Tuesday this week. It hit me quickly and hard, but by Tuesday evening, I did not want to do one more thing or think one more thought about Freedom Valley Church. Going to bed on Tuesday, I dreaded Wednesday morning. The office was a mess and there were 1001 things to do before this weekend's service.
What a difference a day makes; a day with God, that is. Yesterday morning I knew it was time to disconnect from all the "to dos" and reconnect to the one who can do anything of real value. I needed a day to live my life and enjoy my God. I read, I prayed, I wrote some notes in my journal, I got Mexican food, I got ice cream. Then it happened. The wall went away. I felt all my love and vision and energy come back.
As I write this from my messy office, where there are still 1001 things to do, I feel rested and excited about the things I hated yesterday. What a difference a day makes . . . when you spend it with God.
