random thoughts of the day...

It appears this blogging thing is not my first priority as it has been put off in the last few weeks. I suppose that is a good thing - because I would have to question myself if blogging was more important than everything else in my life. Especially since it often time feels like I am writing about myself so much and what is going on in my life - you know the "I HAVE to let people know everything I am doing" feeling. Not my first priority - phew! Now I feel releaved to write this post.

So, it is Friday afternoon, and to be honest I have not had that busy of a week. Jeremy's parents left on Wednesday, and I have done quite a bit of administrative work the rest of the week. After years of putting together worship binders for others, I decided it was time that I got my own done. So I went through my bag of sheet music and what not and categorized them, punched holes in them and put them in my pretty new white binder. I find this strange satisfaction from organizing stuff. I don't do it very often, but when I do.. oh I love the feeling of accomplishment. Yes, I am one of those persons that makes lists just to be able to cross things off of it when they are done. I LOVE getting things done!

Speaking of getting things done, check out my new bookshelf that my father-in-law took apart from the dungeon office in the basement and put into mine. It needs painting and re-organizing, but I'm excited that my office looks semi-professional. Minus the planet boarder and the yellow walls... that will change eventually.

On another note, I have discovered that I am extremely bothered by people who are not honest with themselves and with others. You know that feeling when people are talking to you and you know they are lying; but, what can you do? I have not really thoughts about it much yet, but I am hoping to try to discover why it is I am bothered so much with dishonesty. I just wish people would know that it is okay for you to tell me straight up how you feel. I am strong enough to take it and even if I crumble at the thought of it, I will get over it. Just tell me the truth, please.

I have also discovered that I am a minority. (I made myself laugh there...) I am a woman, senior pastor, and young. Seriously, is there anyone else out there in my position? When I get into groups of pastors, it hits me more than ever. I am always the odd one out. I have always been and I am not bothered by it, but I wonder why. Why isn't there any other people in my shoes? I'm just a normal person and I'm not even all that spiritual, or mature, or whatever you would like to call it. So, why me?

Just a few of my thoughts for the day. We have a mission team in this weekend and so I get to go to the Catholic Church tomorrow for a worship service they are putting on there. I am so excited to do something outside of our church! They're also doing our French service here. Hopefully everything goes well.
