good

Today was a really good day. It started with a staff meeting, working on our contact management software, and generally setting our goals high. It immediately cratered as I tried to find a new university to go to, and nearly threw my computer across the room ... fighting the contact manager software.
It seemed like all of the frustration of feeling ineffective and distracted came together to bug me as I tried, last minute, to find a place to try to "launch a movement" because "that's what I'm here to do."
As I passed off the computer to the girls (they had one sprout legs recently), Eric, the resident computer geek and software jedi, said "who don't you come to UNAM with me?" and out of frustration I agreed to go with him. A quick metro ride to the university and few basketball games later, I was sitting on the concrete and God reminded me how much I love college, college students, and sharing the gospel. I went from feeling obligated to be on campus to eager to share life and the love of my savior.
Good day. Praise God.

yay! I'm glad your frustration didn't last too long. Hope you have a wonderful week. :) I know God will use you, even when you're feeling frustrated and tired. Because...
God is bigger than the boogie man, and he's watching out for you and me.

ok, not entirely relevant, but everyone needs a Veggie Tales pick-me-up every once in a while.

I completely understand! I get off the ground way to fast and then it takes someone to remind me I am still on planet earth. Praise God He is bigger than us and keeps His work going inspite of us.

love in Jesus,
