It’s Wednesday. The [work] week is half way over (or half way started depending on how you look at it). Here is your mix to get you through.

For the Love of Wednesday Mix

So here is my blessing to you:

May you do more than merely survive this week.

May you find the Lord in the mix of your crowded lives.

May you find His flow of the day and not your own.

May you take time to breathe and listen to the Lord.

May you have peace in knowing that He knows you.

I don’t know about you, but my weeks been a busy one. Like, ‘extra crazy I’m tired and holy crap when is the weekend‘ gonna come’ busy. So here’s my gift to you, my friends. A little pick-me-up. Here’s the “Thursday Chill Mix because the Weekend is Near!” But even in the wake of this insanity, I am reminded by a greeting a missionary I listened to used, “God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good.” Yes He is.

So chill out, enjoy your Thursday because because God good and the weekend is near…

Thursday Chill Mix because the Weekend is Near!

As it turns out, this is the home imporvement weekend. I’m painting two rooms and staining the deck. One thing I absolutely hate is painting. It’s messy, it’s time consuming. Give me yard work, cleaning - you name it.But just don’t make me paint.  I can’t stand it - but I like the results.

So are there any tasks that you can’t stand?

You ever been so busy and so tired that you don’t really know what to do with yourself? I’m approaching that point right now. I drink tons of coffee to wake me up and my body is there, but my mind is stuck somewhere in last week. So I’m feeling pretty wired, tired, and fried.

I’ve never been so tired in all my life, but through it all, I keep going. I don’t really know how. My plate remains full, but things keep getting done. Not small thing, big ones. The marathon continues and I can only attribute it to the Lord. I have no bragging rights here. Though, for being so worn out, I keep leaning in and finding this odd job amongst the whirlwind of business.

Now, I’m not saying that God blesses the busy. I’m just saying that I don’t know how I would have made it though the past few weeks (and few more to come) without Him. Less of me and more of Him seems to be working. I’m reminded of this scripture:

Ah, yes, today in my office it’s Minutia Monday!

minutia - small, trivial,  trifling details

In ministry, often times, we get so involved in student ministry that we forget to do the fun administrative work (i.e. crap). And from time to time, this minutia piles up. Since things have been particularly busy lately, I’ve declared a fast on all things relational or enjoyable to pave way to clear out all pending minutia. So we shall cleanse our palates and our desks. We shall rejoice today in the mundane, because tomorrow is another day (with no minutia).

So, how’s your Monday looking?
