You know what I really like about posting on this site. That You and I get to talk. I mean, when I pray without typing, I am usually just listing off the things I want to happen. But here I take time to consider Your answers. I can be honest about what I want (I still want to win tennis matches, or at least play up to or above our potential) and yet at the same time hear what You might be calling us to (bless others).
I've been feeling the need to bless others lately. I get so wrapped up in me and my team during tennis season, okay, admittedly I get wrapped up in my team and therefore tend to lose a little sight of people besides my team. I lose track of my students, I lose track of some of our church family, I lose track of my wife and son sometimes, and I lose track of You. You know, the weird thing is that all the people that I listed, that I'm supposed to "keep up with," I'm supposed to be a leader in each of those areas. I am supposed to lead the learning of my students, I am supposed to lead the spiritual and whole growth of the church, and I am supposed to lead my family, in our walks with You and in decision making it seems. The only relationship that I have right now where I don't lead is with You (well, okay, most of my friendships, which includes people from the church, I don't have to be the leader, but the church in an official sense, I am the pastor.)
Anyways, with all the energy spent on leading, I'm sick right now. Well, I don't know if this led to my sickness, but it couldn't help. I need rest in You. Bring that on!
