An Epic Journey

Today Peter woke up sick – like sick all over everything in his crib.  We cleaned him up, at 4 in the morning, and put him in bed with us (I questioned this move as his previous display of digestive fortitude was so lacking).  We have had two more instances of “sick” in our bed so far, but what amazes me is how once the kid gets it out, he seems almost normal.  He tells a joke, laughs and then lays back down to go to sleep.

I wish I was so resilient when life gets “sick” on me.  You know, those times when people are mean, or things are going all wrong, or you forget to take the trash out and are left with a stinking mess in your garage (the last one is pure fiction).  I wish that I were able to bounce back emotionally after bad stuff happens or after someone is negative towards me.  The reality is, I’ve got a lot of work to be done on “me” still.  More and more I am realizing that I need to submit my life in even greater abandon to Christ so He can be the one who gives me resilience and I can offer others His reconciliation from heart that is fully devoted and fully aware that significance is found in the cross!

PS – please be praying for Jenni and I, Jenni is already not feeling good and I can’t get sick, this weekend is our second Sneak Peak service.  I will have to preach no matter what – so we need your prayers!
