| Prayer Request: | Greetings, church family. I see that everyone is doing alright in their own way, and the various church programs are proceeding successfully. The daily meditations of Pastor Li prove most helpful, together with the followed reflections of the church members. Frankly, since the year began, I've been bogged down with different things, a major couple being my personal development and my steps going forward. I find myself unable to focus on things I'd to do, like learn Mandarin or hone my guitar skills, or learn the organ, or enjoy the company of others. Being at church is wonderful when I go, though I do feel drained being amongst many people for sustained lengths of time; it might not be, but I see that as a problem. I've been living where I am for 6+ plus years now, just myself, and it's been just me for quite some time... I find that to be a problem, as I've long since outgrown this faithful but small house. As I'm preparing to leave for my weekly evening gig, I need not place anything in my car because it all has remained there since the gig last week-- that's a problem. I do want to pop into church to say hi and sing the church song, yet at the end of each week, I just feel taxed-- that's a problem. Every week I want to add new music to my weekly gig, but I just can't bring myself to focus on doing it-- that is also a problem. I do feel a personal, spiritual journey is in order. It must begin when I can get into this next house (I've been going back and forth with a loan officer due to the status of my student loans in a forgiveness program, and it, too, has me stressed). I feel as though there is not much of John to give to anyone right now, what I have left I need to focus on rehabilitating/overhauling my own foundation. From the ground up. A fear I have is that I don't know who I will be at the end of it. That's all that I'm feeling right now. But it must be done, we all must at one point or another, often several times in a lifetime. It was hard to find words to write this, but I'm glad I put out this much. Thanks for reading, and I just felt I needed to put something here. I apologize that I don't go back to clear my prayer requests, it is a poor habit. Again, many thanks. |
