Before I started full time ministry in the church, where I was working I used to have HT days which meant High Tension days when Murphy’s Law showed up in vengeance. Now as a full time minister I love HT days which I have now redefined as Happily Tired days! These are days when you get tremendous mileage out of the entire day be it in the office or out in the “field”. What was my day like today?
A funeral in the morning followed by intensive (and brutal) desk cleaning. Threw out lots of stuff that didnt need to be there and filed the rest in an orderly fashion (yay!) Then it was follow-up calls to at least 20 people and even transferring the data into an excel sheet for easier follow up! Whoopie! Love the fact that could chit chat to so many many ones and they mostly agreed to come to church on Saturday! Double yay! Will keep praying for that! Then it was followed by two hospital visits! Touching Lives is what our church is all about and today felt absolutely great! (It is so great because today’s office internet was down so hardly anything could be done online yet it was a time of getting back to basics – calling and connecting.)
I am absolutely tired out but it was pretty amazing to be able to touch so many lives just in a day! Thank you Jesus for brilliant days like this that make up for the “bleah” days when my brain can’t function. I believe it was a great day because I started with a load of prayer and worship. We can’t do ANYTHING unless the Love of God compels us! Unless the Lord builds the house, we labour in vain! I so don’t want to labour in vain in anything that I do.
