Be Busy: Recommend with Caution
Skipping Your Sabbath: Not Recommended!
So, it's been quite the week. I cheated on my Sabbath last Saturday. Jacquelyn had a family crisis on Tuesday. I had a convicting conversation on Wednesday. On Thursday, I had two large assignments due. It's not been bad, per say, but certainly difficult.
So, the moral of the week is: God knows best. I'm never skipping a Sabbath again, and I'm thinking of switching to Sunday afternoon through Monday morning. (I can't do Sunday morning, because children's ministry is work.) I would have really liked to have more energy to give in serving Jacquelyn and navigating that conversation on Wednesday. I wasn't physically tired, but I hadn't let my mind properly rest on Saturday.
In other news, I have officially hit the bitter stage of post-break up life. "But, Avery," you say, "Just in your last post, you missed him terribly!" Yes. But the days of a college student are long, and that feeling seems like weeks ago.
As I was talking with my friend Bob on Wednesday, he asked about the break-up. As I talked about it, I felt a very real anger towards my ex-boyfriend. And Bob asked, "Have you hit the bitter stage yet?" After I pause, I affirmed that I probably had. So, I think the appropriate response is to allow myself to feel that anger, but to pray for my heart towards him: that it would be made into one of forgiveness.
That conversation led to other convicting realizations, but that's for another post.
Thanks for reading,
Avery
