much needed break


I woke up this morning feeling overwhelmed with things I need to get done today. I just wanted to keep sleeping and make it all go away. But I can't. I need to spend a big chunk of my day on work stuff for a 3 day meeting happening this week. Of course today is Sunday so that means church. I talked to myself for probably 10 minutes thinking of all the reasons that missing church wouldn't be that big of a deal today and that my work meeting was more crucial. In the end, church won. I went. And I'm SO GLAD I did. Nothing revives the soul more than spending time with people who believe the same way you do, socializing with those people and learning those principles to bring you peace.

I think I can survive my week now after having a dose of church.

this post makes me happy.
And AMEN...only reason I'll survive this week is because I went to church Sunday.
Seriously.

I hear you! Sometimes I really don't want to go to church (I have the opportunity of "enjoying" it with 7 kids by myself). There are times I think why go? But it seems to be those times when I finally make myself go I get the most out my meetings! You made a good choice Erin and know you are not alone in your feelings!
