Enormousness...

What kind of weird title is that? I couldn't think of anything else. But the week that's coming up is feeling quite big, so that's where that came from.

Hey guess what... I'm tired again. What's new? But I'm going to try not to whinge too much about that. :)


Yesterday was... Saturday. Recently Saturdays have been full of exciting, out-of-the-ordinary stuff, and so it was very different having a pottering-around sort of day. It was good... I got a lot done. But it was boring stuff that just had to be done at some point. Oh well. Like in the morning I helped Mum with the church cleaning our family was rostered on for, then I spent the afternoon contacting students' parents and timetabling students (WHAT a nightmare that is), only to receive a phone call from one parent at 6pm, (when I was practically finished my job), to say that she hadn't looked at the dancing timetable properly and her daughter's Monday 3:15pm lesson wasn't going to suit afterall. :( I'd done SO much for this woman and she's really mucked me around. So that was not very exciting. Anyway. I also spent half the night ironing.


Today... held a range of emotions and feelings. Frustration - with myself and my playing at church this morning; Conviction - as I listened to an excellent sermon this morning from one of the greatest speakers of all time, Noel Weeks; Stress - as I played the six verses of the second-last hymn noticeably faster than usual because I thought I was going to miss my 11:29am train; Frenzy - as Megs and I got home and ready for a day at the beach in 7 minutes; Disappointment - as plans changed with circumstances beyond my control; Happiness - as I enjoyed a train-ride and a ferry-ride with my sister and the youngest of my stand-in brothers; Irritated - as people seemed to not be able to get over the disappointment of changed plans; Stubborn and consequently Annoyed - as I refused to eat ice-creams with everyone else because of the way I'd been made to feel; Joy - as I watched three boys of varying ages happily spend the afternoon digging an enormously deep hole on the beach (big enough for all of them to get in at the same time and be in up to their armpits); Tiredness - as I travelled the 2 hour trip home... by public transport; Peace and Thankfulness - as I washed the salt off my skin and the sand out of my hair, and contemplated the day I'd just had.


God is good, and will work out everything that's racing around in my mind for my good and His glory... I'm glad I know that in my heart, cos it's hard sometimes.
