  • Tired but oh So Happy

    I’m tired, I’ve been pretty worn out. I have been going flat out doing the things I love and am honored to do, and I’m actually not at a place where I need to do less, well less of those things, but I do need to say no to all the things I can though. God has given me the honor of looking after all the production stuff I’ve been doing (which still blows my mind) as well as music, singing, playing keys, and oh oh oh writing. Its awesome, its just one hell of a challenge to do it all. But I’m pumped for it though, its actually real good. I need God more now than at any point in my life, well I don’t know if that’s true, I’ve needed Jesus pretty bad before, but what I am doing, what I am carrying, it’s more than every I am pretty sure, and I need a crapload of boundless energy and endless strength and peace that transcends all understanding. But it’s there for me! If God tells me to do less, I will, but until then I will rely on Him to give me what I need to do it all, all while remembering how much this is the answer to the prayer of my heart for years, to use my time well, be productive, do the things I love while growing and excelling at them, and remain thankful that I actually am now. I remember in my small group it seemed like my prayer request every week was that I would use my time well, well fast forward a couple years, I am using my time insanely well, the tv stays off, fb time is limited, I have to fight for chill time instead of fighting to limit it and be disciplined to practice and grow at the things I want to do with my life. I am so flippin blessed, tired yes, but I know without a shadow of doubt the tiredness of my body is so much better than the tiredness of my soul that once was, before I was living each day to its fullest.
