I could've made it to church this morning had I really tried. But at 9:20 when I needed to leave, I was sitting on the floor in my PJs drinking coffee.
I am outright exhausted from work. I would love to go to church to be renewed and refreshed, but in reality, I know there's a good chance I won't. Because as I have been wrestling with my contract papers for the past couples months and weeks, I haven't been able to share that with my church family here. The language and cultural barriers are the highest for me at church...and it makes it harder for me to go when I am weary and tired and in need of rest and community.
So I'm home on Skype with my community waiting for my car to heat up. I'm heading to town with my Bible and journal and my iPod. I'm going to go sit at a coffee shop and get out of the house with Jesus. A date with Jesus. I just need some time with Jesus.
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
