All Dressed Up and No Place To Go

Maybe it's the junk food filled diet from the weekend. Maybe it's a lack of sleep. I'm not sure what it is, but I am feeling super fatigued today. I did some light cleaning around the house, but it was in between a lot of lounging and a lot of tweeting.

It was just one of those days.

However, I was scheduled to attend a meeting at church tonight. I didn't feel like going, at all. I didn't want to leave the house or change out of my pajamas, but I did. It was the right thing to do. It was the responsible adult thing to do. I reluctantly changed into what turned into a pretty cute outfit. Then, I left.

I arrived at the church and was surprised to see that no one was in the place where I expected people to be. One of the cafe workers said that there was a group there, but they had left. It was 7:05p. The meeting was at 7:00p. Yes, I was late but this was supposed to be a 45 minute meeting not a 5 minute meeting.

I was directed to one of the leaders in the women's ministry, but she was sitting at a table with only 3 other women. The table was covered in binders, papers, and books. Their conversation was extremely involved. It wouldn't have been right to interrupt. Besides, none of the other women at the table were part of the group that I was supposed to be serving with. It seemed to me that this was a different meeting altogether, so I left.

I'm frustrated.

Sometimes it feels like there is no place for me at my church. It's a great church. The leadership class I attended was great. The weekly sermons are great. Our home group is great.

I'm just tired...

tired of being all dressed up with no place to go.

Two Weeks

 

Lord willing, 14 days from today we will be on a plane to this locale right here. 

Yes sir. 

It's about finding time to get lost with The Mr. 

These are the years that we'll look back to when we are old. These are some of the stories that we will tell our children and grandchildren. 

It's my belief that the greatest of relationships are built on Christ primarily. Somewhere after that, there should be life and laughter. 

Vacations are great, but commit to enjoying it all.
