Crazy Week

This week is so full that my head just may pop like in one of those gushers commercials!

Actually, it's full with a lot of stuff I'm excited about. Let's see, there are...
  • Staff meetings
  • Meetings with couples I am marrying
  • A wedding
  • A rehearsal
  • A seminar on leadership & personality
  • A sermon to write
  • A bank robbery to thwart. OK that one is just fantasy, but it would be cool, & yes, I used the word, "thwart", your welcome!
  • A ... well, you get the idea....

It's going to be a busy week & so I know that one thing I can't neglect this week (not that I ever really can) is daily connecting with God. On weeks like this I get run down pretty quick & run down Craig usually equates to cranky & angry Craig.

Weeks like this remind me really quick that apart from Jesus in me, there is very little good that comes from me.

The Apostle Paul says it this way in Romans 7:18 & 25,

"I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. (so) Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

Whatever kind of week you're having I hope you remember that what you need most to get through it, is Jesus. Remember too that what people around you need most form you this week is Jesus radiating through you.

Neither of which will happen unless you're connecting with Him each day.

May He fill you & pour through you all this week.
