Do you ever have one of those days? Days when nothing seems to go right and everyone just sort of gets on your nerves? Today was one of those days for me. Everything I set out to accomplish today seemed to be more difficult then it should have been. Our last Family Worship for the semester is tomorrow night and I would have thought that people at church would have been a little bit more willing to work with me to have an event that brings families together. Our maintenance supervisor throws this fit with me today about the chairs in the Worship Center. He provides me with a diagram of how the chairs should go back, since we took them all out for our Family Worship. My thought is that if I am using volunteers to move the chairs back and he gets paid to move the chairs around for Sunday, it just doesn't seem right to ask so much from my volunteers. We can't measure the exact amount of space between the rows, nor can we eyeball what a straight line looks like. So, I spent most of yesterday and today worried about the stupid chairs. It pisses me off when something as trival as chairs gets in the way of what we are trying to accomplish. And that was just the start of the day...
The good news is that the above mentioned situation is now resolved and the chairs are not longer a worry. I had to go to "the top" to get that taken care of, but it is done. I'm excited that tomorrow is our last Family Worship until August, but I think I will miss it this summer. We will still have a time of planning and evaluating, but no FX. I have learned so much from this experience and know that whatever happens in the Fall will be better then how we leave it tomorrow night. After all, God is in control of it all.
I also have begun my homework from my counselor. Last week he told me that he would like for me to start reading my Bible again on a more regular basis. We decided that for three days each week I needed to read a short Psalms, just spending a few minutes reading Scripture. It seems that I have gotten out of the habit of spending time in the Word...hum..I wonder why. So, last night and tonight I read a little bit. It went OK. I wouldn't say I enjoyed it, but I didn't dread it either. For some reason I just feel indifferent about the whole idea of spending time with God. On one hand I crave that intimate relationship with Him that I see that other people have. On the other hand, it is still quite scary.
Oh well...tomorrow is another day and I will take it as it comes...whatever that may be.

It was a good night! Kudos!
The fellowship afterwards was GREAT! I love seeing families together.....even if it means we have to piss off the janitors now and again...haha. (by the way, I don't ever use that word so consider yourself privileged to have me use the "p" word...felt kind of good)
Great job!
This is probably going to sound so dumb but I keep wondering how you can work for a church and not have an intimate relationship with Him? It sounds like being a nurse and being scared of blood...I know I am new to this life following Him but I am sincerely curious. did something happen to scare you away from the relationship? I so hope it is ok to ask, I have people close to me that I would like to ask but as I said I feel really dumb asking.
