This is not the way I wanted to begin my journey, but then I rarely get started the way I have pictured it in my mind. If one more thing could have been added to my week, I’m sure that it would have found room. Whenever I leave for a few days I always have to put in a few more hours to prepare. Preparing to leave for two weeks, I had two days of training to attend, a funeral to prepare and conduct, and then last night my computer wouldn’t work. I went to bed frustrated, overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious that I might not be able to complete all of my tasks before beginning my journey today. I awoke at 3:00 a.m. and finally decided to get out of bed at 3:30. I feel blessed that my computer is now up and running – even though the battery will only charge to 7% and the new battery I ordered (twice) is the wrong size. I completed the bulletin, dealt with some email, and finished my laundry. Now I jump into the meat of the day, hoping to have a couple of minutes to pack before driving to DC this evening. Surely the rest of this journey will go more smoothly than the preparation! In the midst of it all I am reminded that God is already out in front of me. All I need to do is to take a deep breath and look for God’s presence in the midst of the chaos my life seems to attract. Let the journey begin!
