Punched in the face

Ever been punched in the face by God before? I have, in fact I think I may have a black eye right now. I have been so worried about things lately. I mean I've got to find a place for Abi and I to live within the next 6 weeks! That is priority #1. But I also have my senior recital, work and classes to worry about as well. Man it is a crazy time. The job hunt continues to get crazier with each passing moment. Today I got a call from a friend at Mid-Lakes Christian Church telling me that one of the guys in the praise team died on Friday, and that they want me to come up and help with the funeral on Thursday. So this week I have rehearsal for Senior Recital tonight and tomorrow, FCYC rehearsal tomorrow, Southside reheasal Wednesday, a funeral Thursday, my Senior Recital is Friday, and I have to go back to Jacksonville this weekend.

Frankly, I'm really tired right now. Anyway, back to the punch in the face. I've been weighing all these things in my mind for a little while now, and then Sunday came. In Sunday School we talked about Saul and how he sacrificed before it was time. "To obey is better than sacrifice." You have to wait for God (a little jab there). Then in the sermon I was reminded that I need to listen, because to listen is to obey! (PUNCH!) I need to stop my worrying and start listening. God has opened doors, and if I will stop complaining about things long enough to listen, He will show me where to go.

So pray for me, that I will shut up and listen (and that I don't have a nervous breakdown in the meantime).

Thanks,

Enjoy the Journey
