This Day Has Been Very Long...

So this post probably won't be.

I'm so happy that I'm not headed into work right now. But instead I'm headed for bed. I can CLEARLY see why there would be a nursing shortage due to high turnover rates and nurse burnout. I've been working a ton lately, and although it hasn't really been that bad, I'm exhausted, I'm sore, and worst of all I'm losing my patience. Not good. So I'm definitely going to make the most of this break.

Church tonight was very good. I really enjoyed the acoustic style worship for a change. Something about it just makes it feel more honest. There are fewer boundaries than with our normal worship setting. Now don't get me wrong, I love our normal worship time with the youth group (for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I'll explain some other time) but change is good every once in a while.

I will say though, that part of tonight's lesson in young adult's class - the part where we wrote on the white board what was standing between us and God...yeah....that - was very, very uncomfortable for me. And I was almost angry at Pastor J for even having us do that. Not only did I not want to bare my faults, but I really didn't want to look at the faults of others. I know that sounds really strange - most people jump at the opportunity to see the bad in others. It's just that sometimes it's all just between you and God - and while no one knows you like God does, the Bible does say that we are to bear each other's burdens, to mourn and rejoice together, to confess our sins to our brothers so that we may be held accountable. I truly struggle with this...I'm guessing it has something to do with pride. And thanks to my pride I didn't want to admit to everyone else that I have an issue with discipline. But I did, and it felt good to know that I wasn't alone. I wasn't the only one on that board, and in fact, many of us shared a great number of issues.

Aaaannnnnddddd I've lost my train of thought. I'm going to sleep before my thoughts become anymore incoherent...

Based on the categories previously mentioned, I would have managed like 1/2 a star today. But today was much more than that. Based on a great number of many other things that are hard to classify, I would rate today as a 5 star day.

GoodNight.
