This will be a very busy week for me. Our Youth program at church is having its annual Steak Plate Fundraiser on Sunday and there's still planning, shopping, and organizing to do. Of course our church is amazing and will help wherever and however they can and our Youth are even more amazing, already getting excited about all the steak they get to make.
It seems as though this year has been one thing after another starting with Advent. I don't think our church, or our Youth for that matter, has had a decent break in our activities. Don't get me wrong, we absolutely love the work we do and thoroughly enjoy doing it for our church family and surrounding community, it's just that we need rest.
In keeping with what I am currently being shown to do in this blog I took a look at this Sunday's lectionary. Today it has me reading Psalm 23, a Psalm that always brings me peace. The images of God guiding me along still waters to lie in green pastures always calms me, no matter what I'm going through.
Now that I've read the Psalm and had time to let its meaning sink in I no longer see my week as "busy" as much as I see it "filled" with opportunities to be with God and others. This will be a week where many will come together in one purpose and that's truly something to celebrate. I'll find time to rest soon; for now let my cup overflow.
The Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need...
