Bone Tired

It was a kind of wild morning at work today, and I'm really glad I'd prearranged to have the afternoon off. I'm tired. Bone tired. Emotionally, mentally, and physically drained. The only more trying day I can think of in recent days is that one about a week and a half ago where there was weird stuff going on in the spiritual realm.

Today was kind of like that, only everything was very much spilling over into the here and now of our physical office space.

To be honest, this is not the state I wanted to be in as I prepare to join a group of people for a weekend of prayer, dreaming, and worship. I wanted to go into this rested, feeling at peace. I'm a long way from that right now.

I got home from work, took a shower, and threw in a load of laundry. With the possible exception of one phone call, and getting up to switch my laundry from the washer to the dryer, I don't intend to move from the couch I'm reclining on for the next hour and a half. I'm hoping to sleep, maybe pray, at the very least calm and distract my mind.

Pray for my work situation if you think about it. There are some very special people there who are facing some difficult times, and it's beginning to wear on all of us. Pray for wisdom, for leaders to step up, for peace.

As a peacemaker by nature the kind of tension infecting the office these days is draining. Pray that I would be able to guard my mind and heart in the midst of this, and truly offer the peace of Christ to all.
