refreshing

Man.. I'm tired. Planning a wedding is a lot of work! We have less than a week to go before Allison and Isak's big day. Honestly, things are in good shape, there are just some final details to get in place and a huge logistical co-ordination exercise to make sure everyone is where they need to be with the right tools at the right time to pull it all off. But things didn't get to this place without a lot of time and energy going in to them. I have been eating, breathing, and sleeping wedding for a few weeks now, plus it seems those "extra" things I agreed to at one point all happen at the same time! (exams for work, board meetings, helping people who are away, etc.).

Really I've been doing well. But this morning, it all just sort of hit and I was GRUMPY- tired and caught up in the emotion of other people's transitions, as well as my own.

But this is not the point. The point is that God is so good and His presence is so sweet. The ANC Ottawa body came together this morning, and God showed up, as He always does. As we worshiped, I completely forgot about being tired and found myself genuinely caught up by the resurrection life He gives - dancing and singing and grinning and jumping and worshiping the one who restores and refreshes my soul. It is like jumping in cold water on a hot day. God you are so good to me.
