bloody long week.
Yeah, this is one of those weeks that merits something other than a blog post. From Monday to Thursday I was at a regional YFC conference. That was alright, the speaker was excellent, it was Michael Frost from Australia... he had some awesome stuff to say about church, community and evangelism. I had fun learning from him over coffee between sessions. There's a lot of cool people in YFC and all of them are really good about talking about their lives and their work. I did the whole sponge thing and kind of soaked up the learning. I also chilled out a fair bit.
In addition to that I came down with a really wicked head cold. Sigh.
Yeah, it really does get worse though. As of Friday we have one less Lifeteamer, my friend had to leave because... I dunno, here just isnt the best place for him right now and it was God's choice for him. It's good really. But you know, it sucks too. I'm genuinely grieved about the loss, so the weekend was spent crying more or less... reading books and hiding out at Rob and Iona's house. I'll feel it for a while I know, but sometimes I wish life in general didn't hurt.
Tomorrow is this modules Day of Silence, and you can bet I'll be hashing this one out with God. There's just a bunch of stuff between Him and I right now that I need to work through. I know God is in the right, I know that He is good. I just don't get his plans... or anything about him really. It frustrates me that I can follow Him with all my heart and then get shaken up at times only to find out that my attitude toward Him is just dead wrong. So I've got the feeling that God and I are going to have this one out with me on my knees... as such matters should be dealt with I guess.
So this is me being candid, I'm sick and tired and overwhelmed. I've also got a ton to be thankful for in the midst of it. I'll chew on it some more and get back to you.
Peace.
