Isn't this a beautiful picture? I found it on a friend's facebook page and had to have a copy of it. This is the steeple on our church, FBC Commerce.
I spent the better part of today in meetings at church. I guess they are a necessary evil when you are planning things, but sometimes, like today, they become pity parties for overwhelmed volunteers. If you serve, do it with a servant's heart or don't do it at all. I can't imagine God is pleased when we work so hard for Him and then cry about how overworked we are. I think that sometimes we all get this way. I know I have. Learning how to remember that we are here to live a purposeful life for Christ in a selfless way is uber hard. I am getting better at this life lesson from my experiences with foster care and mothering in general. Still far from mastery. If I can remind myself every 5 minutes that "my life is not about me!" then I make it through the days much easier.
I hate hot east Texas weather. Its dry and heavy and wet and takes your breath away. It breeds mosquitos.
