Favorite day

Sunday's have become my day to recharge. As of the past few weeks, it seems my battery is dying more quickly than it has been. About midweek, I start feeling the urge to drop out of this race, turn away, and never look back. A few years ago, the movie Surf's Up came out. It was about a penguin from a small fishing town who dreams of becoming a surfing champion like his idol, the late Big Z. When Cody met Big Z as a young penguin, the surfing legend left an impression that Cody would never forget. The movie follows Cody as he makes the journey to Pen Gu Island and the Big Z Memorial Surf Off, where he hopes to win the competition and follow in Big Z's wake.

Cody winds up having to be saved by the beautiful lifeguard, Lani, after an embarrassing surf off with the surfing king. Feeling sorry for the inexperienced kid, Lani takes him to see her uncle Geek. As Geek tries to help Cody get back to surfing, Cody realizes that Geek is Big Z, and that he has been hiding away all of these years to avoid the pain of losing a competition.

The point of all of that is to say that I can so see how Big Z just wants to disappear and not face the humiliation and difficulty of his major loss. Having said that, of course there are 3 little obstacles in the way of this somewhat appealing thought! GRRRR! I, however, have made it to another Sunday-my recharge day! I've come to rely heavily on these days! There's definitely something about coming together as a church family and corporate worship. It's God's design.

My prayers this week revolve around sustainment, focus on Him and not my current trials, SLEEP, REST, SLEEP, a full 24 hours that the kids will be with George this weekend and time that I really need since I've had them with little to no breaks lately, and clarity and discernment involving my future career choice. I'm really struggling in this area. I'm afraid that I'm not feeling the love for education, and am remembering the reason I decided not to go that route in the first place! I have huge decisions to make and it's weighing heavily on my heart and mind. Have a wonderfully blessed week!
