  • Mood: discontent

Out of the groove

Very out of my groove and uncomfortable with that. People and busyness each seem to be drawing double portions of my time and energy; when have moments to myself, I'm fried and useless. Want to look forward with hope but without foolish optimism, to have a sense of both the prize and the finish line grounded in the reality of the gospel rather than my wishes. That takes effort and discipline to sustain; I have been faithful investing neither.

Vision meeting for Community Group leaders this morning; turnout was better than I had expected. These are the kinds of surprises I need. Heading out in a few to go to the open house at The Upper Room, our church's artists' cooperative downtown. Looking forward to surprising them with a bottle of champagne to celebrate the occasion; not looking forward to having yet another activity on my schedule, filled with people and noise.

I really want to feel like myself again.
