…i shouldn’t be writing - i should be cleaning, or resting or anything but writing…
It’s just been one of those mornings…difficult, and I don’t even really know why. I found it hard to sing this morning…hard to give…hard to love…harder to forgive.
There’s just a lot of junk in my mind…..usually Sunday mornings overshadow all the distractions - I guess I’m just in a funk…a selfish kind of funk. I feel a little more like just sitting around and licking my wounds than what I really should be doing…
And lunch has been a domestic disaster…sorry Barry. I fixed lunch to celebrate Barry O’s 23rd (Happy, Happy!), and proceeded to drop a glass pan of enchiladas all over the floor…burning myself and Ashley in the process (sorry Ashley!)…
Then, when it was time for cake, discovered that the ICE CREAM cake had been inadvertently placed in the fridge rather than the freezer……..
….you do the math!
So, I’m sitting here waiting for the cake to refreeze…I guess I’ve got a good hour or so at least.
Oh well, Happy Birthday Barry - my heart was in the right place even if I’m no Martha Stewart…
The house will be full of people in just a few hours…hence the necessity to clean (especially after dropping dinner and melting dessert!)…but, I just feel a little weary….
I don’t really know why this morning was hard…I do know that I need to get over myself - and I know that witnessing people getting baptized is a great way for me to do that. I can sulk later….
…tomorrow’s Monday, after all - the perfect day for sulking.
But, I won’t today - not on Sunday. Not with my C3 family. Not on Barry’s birthday…
Not when I’m celebrating what God has done in lives…..
There’s plenty of time for the junk on another day.
So..not today.
Peace.
Thanks for writing this…I needed to read it. It’s like you were reading my mind about this morning being difficult…I’m sure we have different things on our mind but it reminded me I’m not the only one
Thanks again- you’re making a difference even when you don’t know it! Love you
P.S.- The baptisms really wiped a lot of that “difficult” away!
Angie, Sorry your day has been one of those. I’ve had my share of those days. I am off on Monday if you want to do lunch.
Thanks SO much for making enchiladas for lunch, they we’re AAAMAZING, and the Ice Cream cake was great too! minus the trick candles… No it was great! And also I thought you did an Awesome job singing this morning! Thanks again for going out of your way to do all that stuff for me on a Sunday! It means a lot!
O and I haven’t gotten to officially write it on here yet… But I think the new web page is also AAAMAZING!
Mommy,
Your awesome!
Wayyyyyy better than Martha…..
Love you! Thanks for all you do…everyday…but especially yesterday!
I hope your week gets better…
here’s a smile…

Hello, Angie!
I’m one of C3 church regular attender!
Have not been participating any service except just attending yet!
(last couple days, i’m just getting used to read your and Byron’s blogs^^ took a while to figure out what it was!)
HOwever, I love all the praises that you and your members sing every sunday!
It’s such a wonderful moment of my life everytime I sing along with you.
Especially, I had such a graceful moment on 28th of Sep. when you sang after the service. I thought that was the “none but Jesus” after reading your blog. But then when I tried to match the name and the date you wrote in blog was not right..Would you tell me what the title of it was if you can remember?
Even this morning was such a wonderful!
Please don’t feel difficult on Sunday for me, because you always make my week starting such a great one with your praises! and I’m sure I am not the only one!
Sonya
Sonya,
Thank you so much for your gracious encouragement! The people of C3…and the praises are what make the difficult days worth doing.
I checked the list and I sang, “Lead me to the Cross” on Sept. 28th - It was the previous Sunday (Sept. 21st) that I sang “None but Jesus”.
You can find both of these songs on the Hillsong United album…or by searching the titles with Hillsong United as the artist.
Thank you again for your kind words. You are the reason why there is a church like C3. I hope to meet you one Sunday.
God bless you!
Peace to you and yours, Angie.
Thank you for your quick response & such a nice words!!!
Nice talking to you!
I’ll introduce myself this Sunday~
God bless you and yours always!
Sonya
Now the song is on my first page of myspace!
Thank you, that song will be always on my heart and everytime I hear I’ll think of you and my best church C3!
