Sunday Matters: Coming Up for Air

Sunday Matters

Earlier this week I shared a Life Update and since then I’ve been sitting with the knowledge I have and just feeling all weird about it. Everything will be fine and I am doing well at the moment. I am trying to stay busy and since my Winter break begins soon that means a lot of last minute tasks.

Right Now:

Today is the student ministry Christmas party so that will be a blast. They always have to take the Karaoke away from me.

Tonight we go with friends to drive around and look at lights. Cookies, hot chocolate and conversation.

This Week:

Monday I am working from home. Tuesday and Wednesday I plan to go into the office. Then, I am off until January 2. I usually take more time off but since the kids won’t be here for break I kept it brief as I will need the time later.

Reading:

I am reading Happiness Falls. My reading totals are really horrible this year. With everything going on, distraction got the best of me. This will probably be my last book of the year.

Happiness Falls

Watching:

There are so many shows I want to watch but so far it’s not happening. Again, that distraction thing.

Grateful for:

Not happy that it took so long for a doctor to listen to me but grateful that I can move forward now and hopefully have a good resolution. Your takeaway, if you feel that there is something wrong with your health, keep pushing. It took me over a year to get scanned and I have probably been dealing with it for over two years according to the doc.

I hope you are all doing well. I’ve missed everyone.

Sunday Matters: Life Update

I come to you all with good intentions, to be consistent with posting and reviewing but health issues can truly derail a person. Good news, my referrals were finally put in for MRIs (brain and spine) so I hope to have answers soon.

In other news, my son’s job on the reservation had to be cut short. Toxicity in the workplace cannot be ignored. Once again he is seeking employment and perhaps a new direction. In his down time he created a non-profit that combats graffiti with urban art done by local artists.

Right Now:

I have student ministry this morning and will be working on a message for November later. My brain has to go through this “gathering” phase and then the inspiration pours out.

This Week:

Let me just say that Halloween should always be on a Saturday. Tuesday is just not acceptable. The traffic just to get home from work will be a nightmare. I’ll be lucky if I can get home before the first trick or treaters arrives! Plus, cooking dinner. The wait times for delivery or takeout are brutal on Halloween. I will probably throw something in the Crockpot.

Reading:

I heard about a re-telling of 1984 titled Julia. I’m intrigued. I just added it to my Kindle.

Watching:

We were in the mood to watch a spooky movie so we tried the remake of Friday the 13th. Oh boy. It was not good. Honestly, the original is not great either but I guess I prefer the campy-ness of it.

Listen, you all have a really good week. I hope to get those MRI appointments made this week. I am trying to remain hopeful but it’s alarming to be able to walk one minute, and then a few moments later be completely unable to control your legs. Pray for me, please. Wish me luck. Think positive thoughts. I appreciate it.
