The Need for Peace

Well, it has been an interesting week and it is only Tuesday!  I have already kind of crashed and burned physically...

Monday, I went with my brother to run some errands.  I went to visit a friend afterwards and ended staying there until after 11pm.  I had planned to leave at 7pm!  I will have to guard my time better.  I got home late and slept late.  That kind of threw me off for the rest of the day.  I ended up breaking my commitment to hang out with my sister today.  I felt bad about that.  I really try not to flake out but that is what I ended up doing.  I also neglected to finish cleaning my apartment.  I am having such a tough time doing that!  I have to finish that by tomorrow morning so that I don't have it hanging over my head and I can relax and enjoy the day.

Although I have been spending time with people, I think that they are people who are lonely!  I love them and I care about them, but they have been taking more than they have been giving and I am starting to feel depleted.  I didn't realize it until just now.  I need to be rejuvenated.

Spiritually, I need to spend quality quiet time with Jesus.  I need His guidance and His help.  I need His peace.  I pray that He would quiet my mind and spirit so that I can effectively commune with Him and hear clearly.  I could feel myself growing anxious and being unproductive.  I talked to a friend today and she mentioned how she needs peace.  She also talked about living one day at a time.  These were great reminders of things that I need to do.

There is more that I would like to write about, but I think that I will hold off for now.  Will try to blog tomorrow after meeting with Jesus.
