I know, I know

I know, I got the blogs mixed up and I'm a big doofus. Mondays are tough for me in a lot of ways right now.
First, Mondays are tough because I just spent an entire day of completely uninterupted service at the church. No secular mix and match or fill-ins just to pay my bills. It was completely about God.
Second, I become more aware every Monday morning of just how much I long to serve at the church full-time without the distractions of a secular job.
THese are both things that I need to experience so that I will better appreciate the opportunity if and when it does present itself for me to work full-time at the church.
Yesterday, for instance I got into the office and worked on my blogs. I got them typed out and spent a few minutes in prayer. I had already spent time in silent prayer and just stillness before I went to work. Then, I got into the truck and drove out to Hickory Creek Elementary School for a presentation for the Betty Griffin House. I got there at 8:20 and the presentation was supposed to be at 8:30 but they needed to postpone until 9:30. Well, it's quite a drive out there so I decided to just go sit in the truck and do some reading. I popped open my book on prayer that I am reading right now, then read a few passages that came to mind while I was reading my book. Prayed some, sat in silence a little and then went in and did my presentation. After that I rode back to the office all the while with the radio off and just talking and listening to God. Then, I got to the office and was bombarded with the silliness that comes from working in the secular world. Noise, noise, noise when I want silence, silence and stillness.
So there you see my frustration, as minor as it may be it continues to dominate my days and I am glad that God is right there with me even when I am not able to chase my heart's desire all the day long.
Have a great day!
