My work has a demanding schedule. I can work anywhere from 5am to 11pm on an average day, and up to 14 hours in a row. I can work beyond those hours as well with advanced notice. It is difficult to live a normal life outside of that type of schedule. Having said that, I have noticed something amazing. I have been to church for 8 consecutive weeks, maybe more, but I'm not really counting. I have been to 4 consecutive weekly C&C nights, and I only started attending 4 weeks ago. I have attended my church's monthly prayer/solitude retreats each month for the last 3 months, since they've began. I have also attended the last 4 prayer meetings on Friday mornings at our church since I learned about them 4 weeks ago. How is that even possible considering the schedule I keep? Coincidence? Maybe. But it's definitely cool. And this week I'll be able to attend C&C, the prayer meeting, C&C's Christmas banquet, a spiritual direction meeting and church again. It is such a blessing to me. I almost feel spoiled. God, are you pulling some strings for me? Thank you.
Somewhat unrelated, here's a video I shot on my cell phone tonight at work. This is why I love my job.
Oh, I almost forgot, I have been thinking about reading the book What's So Amazing About Grace this last week. I don't actually own it. Today my brother just happened to check it out of the library, with no knowledge that I was intending to read it. It's sitting here waiting for me. How cool is that?
