(a journal entry from last week's morning devos)
Today, I am tired. Tired from running around; from solving problems; from talking and listening non-stop;from giving what seems like hundreds of piggy back rides, and the list goes on. I reflect on these past three weeks and I realize that I am tired FROM all of these things but I am not tired OF them-my heart is glad. The joy of the Lord is my strength.
In the context of my current purpose, there has been (and will be) necessary detail work involved in reaching the kingdom goal that is set before me. I think about the many conversations that will be had, floors that will be mopped, kids that will be carried around, and logistics that will be managed. Sometimes, it makes me crazy-ask any of my staff that have been around me for the past 3 1/2 weeks. But, in the midst of all of this chaos there is a covering of serenity that keeps my pace steady and my gaze fixed.
Jesus is in these places. His spirit is alive and active, and His passion is within me.
I have not been given anything except for the moment set before me....let this day begin.
