I had this great idea on December 1st to do blog posts every day counting down to Christmas. One of my roommates in college once told me that I'm really good at planning things and not very good at executing them. The trait continues!
Today though, I am trying to complete a homework assignment even though it's 11:40 at night and I am absolutely exhausted. Today, I was at an ASIST (Applied suicide intervention skills training) one of two day course. Being a youth worker, the information is very beneficial, but it's also incredibly draining.
During the training we were given the task to do something that was life giving this evening. Since I didn't get home until 10:45, I wasn't sure what that was going to be. I decided that I would go with the classic candles, music, and blogging. Now that I think of it, when I was meeting with my pastoral leader she gave me a back message along with a cup of tea and biscuits. All very life giving.
The last few weeks have gone by so quickly. It's so easy to get so busy with life that you can forget to take time to do things that are life giving. I was reminded today of how easy it can be to pressure ourselves with the many needs around us when in reality God is calling us to do the task in which he has laid right before us. He provides the grace in which we need as long as we rely on him. For now, I pray for the grace to have a good nights sleep in order to beat this cold!
