I had a weekend, they come at the end of every week. It was neither good nor bad it was somewhere in the middle. Actually, I made it bad. All the baddness came from my choices and my fears. And I left me rather sour for Monday morning. Chaplain, what do you do when you don't feel like it. When there is frustration with God, how do I bring his presence.
The position of minister is bigger than me. It is beyond what I can understand or know or even be. It is an ordained job where the divine presents itself in flesh to those in pain.
There was a three year old getting brain surgery this morning, so at least for that time, my weekend didn't matter. It was as if God was standing before me saying, "When your done with self pitty I have something for you to do." I felt I did fine, but I wonder what I could have done if I lessened my self...

Good post. Self-pity got me into trouble this weekend, too.

It's been too long since I stopped by. I am glad I did now - I've been in this place too lately. Luckily I have a husband more spiritually mature than I. Luckily I have a Savior who loves me unconditionally.
Merry Christmas old friend. And many blessings to you.
