I’m tired!

I’m tired!  You know how sometimes you don’t really know how tired you were until you get a good night’s sleep?  Well, I know I’m tired already.  It really has been a pretty crazy few weeks.

Generally Shari and I don’t have trouble sleeping, but lately there have just been so many reasons to get up in the night.  Hannah gets up, or Nathanael wakes up, or I wake up with a headache…and of course, there’s getting to bed too late.  But whose fault is that?

Anyway, we’re trying to get the rest we need, or catch up, I should say.  We’re looking forward to a day off tomorrow.

Despite tiredness and headache issues, I was able to put in a full days work.  We’re getting ready for our trip to Three Hills this week, so we’re looking forward to that.  On Tuesday night we’re speaking at the Prairie Tabernacle.  So I took some time to get ready for that, did some organizing I needed to do, some prep for training the team going to Mexico, paperwork, etc.

We can always remember that in the end Jesus Himself is our Rest, when rest in the real world evades us.  As Paul said,
We never give up.  Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day.  These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem like nothing.  Things that are seen don’t last forever, but things that are not seen are eternal.  That’s why we keep our minds on the things that cannot be seen.  (2Co 4:16-18 CEV)
