…But Sunday’s Comin’!

So, the week leading up to Easter can be challenging…it seems like the Enemy knows he needs to fight against us…as if it could just stay “Friday” or even Saturday night…

…anything to keep Sunday from coming.

All week it has seemed to be perpetually more like Friday than Sunday…

For my new friend Sola, I know this has to be true because her mother passed away (in Nigeria) last night…

Our prayers are with you and your family, Sola - It’s Friday…but Sunday’s comin’!

All of the attacks, the weariness, the doubts…the hard work that goes into preparing for Easter - all of it can weigh us down - It’s Friday…but Sunday’s comin’!

All of the expectancy, the waiting, the hoping to see what God will do on Resurrection morning…even the fleeting doubts, memories of loss, wondering “Is it worth the cost?” - all of it can just wear us out - It’s Friday…but Sunday’s comin’!

Sunday’s comin’ and everything’s gonna be alright. After all, we already know the end of the story…

…now there’s nothin’ left but the victory party.

Happy, happy Easter…and peace to you.

A P.S. for Thursday….

By the by, since I’m lovin’ me some Bledsoe kids today, I thought I’d link to my oldest daughter’s blog (Kayleigh) - she writes about her brothers and sister in her latest post. It’s just another window into our world. (Welcome to the jungle!…)

Also, be sure to check my “Blogroll” - I’m adding blogs of interest all the time. My latest addition is one of a pastor here in Central Florida - Byron and I are looking forward to getting to know Pastor Joseph and his wife Sola, and already know that they are kindred spirits. Check out his blog here.

And, just for fun, Byron has decided to allow comments…this should make our lives even more interesting! Just a little F.Y.I..

Have a happy Thursday….Thursdays need love too! :-)

Peace.

The Remains of the Day

So, this morning came too soon. Because of technological advances, we actually woke at 3:30 instead of 5:30. We did go back to bed when we realized it, but not really back to sleep so….

so, today started way too early.

I was excited to go to C3. Andrea spoke eloquently about her childhood and family issues. I know her story helped a lot of people. She did awesome!

I was in a lot of pain, but it’s always good to get to worship…to sing - to be with my C3 family. I would’ve been in pain at home or there…so I’d rather be there. Of course, though, I crashed when I finally got home. I took a bath so hot that my skin was bright red and I was sweating. Then, I slept and slept.

Then, we walked (walking is better than sitting) down to the Italian ice shop. I had a caramel sundae…with rum raisin ice cream!

I sat for a nice long time on the front porch - with my fur blanket and wool scarf…I probably looked like a dork - and watched the sun begin to fade…

I just have to make it a little longer…tomorrow morning - when I can see my doctor. At this point, I’m pretty much counting the hours. I’ve been told (during child birth, etc.) that I have a high pain threshold, but this pain is kicking my tail…it’s just so stinkin’ annoying!

Oh well, tomorrow’s coming.

Now I just have to figure out how to sleep. Maybe I should just eat rum raisin ice cream until I pass out in a sugar coma…

Just kidding! I know that’s nothing to joke about…I only ate a little of my sundae, so DON’T HATE!!!!!

So, it’s “good night” to another good day.

Peace to you all.

Listening to the Rain

i love the sound of the rain. i love thunderstorms…and since i live in the lightning capital of the northern hemisphere, i get to hear a lot of storms.

how can something so possibly destructive sound so comforting to me? i don’t know, but it is soothing somehow to hear the pounding of the rain…

today was a good, but busy day. i had breakfast THREE times! i had some great conversation with some awesome women. i was able to take a quick nap. i went to see my german doctor who always “fixes” me. i sat on the front porch and listened to the rain…

so now it’s the weekend - which, around here, is not the end of the work-week, but the beginning, as we prepare for sunday.

but for now i’m going to just be still and listen to the rain…dream…and drift off to sleep.

peace.
