Lots to do.

One week ago, I was sitting in a room with many other women, learning about being a disciple of Jesus Christ.  I was on the Walk to Emmaus.  http://www.upperroom.org/emmaus/  It was a wonderful 72 hour experience.  I felt great joy and, by the end, more peaceful.  In fact, although my employment situation is sometimes difficult, I am trying harder to work with it and do a better job.  

I have a lot to do, on many levels!  I have a very long "to do" list for the next several weeks (getting ready for VBS, the Emmaus gathering, my son's birthday, baseball, our disorderly house).  Work is challenging, frustrating and stressful, because we try to do a lot of programs with very little time and little appreciation.  I see unchurched or under-churched people all around me and wonder how I can help the Lord to reach them.  Wow.  So much to do.

The wonderful thing is that I don't feel weighed down by it all.  This is very unusual for me!  I usually find the world such a depressing, disappointing place.  I just want to give up.  Somehow, I feel changed.  I feel more willing to forge ahead.  Maybe I can become a vessel after all.  Who'd a thunk it!

Well, I hear the laundry and "Toys R Us" calling.  Better get to it.
