The Bittersweet Paradox

Two work weeks left. 9.5 work days. I'm losing motivation at my job. I'm trying to finish it strong, but it's getting harder and harder... Another week and a half after I leave, I will be hauling my random stuff to Carpentersville, IL to the little townhouse where I'll be living next year. I can't believe it's almost here.

I'm so close to being done fundraising I can taste it. I've raised $1700 in monthly support thus far. That in and of itself is amazing. Another $300 monthly (or so) to go. God is so faithful.

This morning, I did something I've been thinking for a long time that I should make a habit. Rather than beginning my morning today with hauling my sleep-filled eyes to the shower 15 minutes after I should've gotten up, my mind wandering aimlessly toward whatever subject it happened to feel like mulling over, I actually woke up early and began my day with 20 minutes of prayer and Bible study. It felt good. Like a step towards living in victory rather than yet another one indulging my flesh.

I can't wait to see what He's going to do next year.

Hey congrats on the support so far!

And good job on getting a devotion in. I wake up with good intentions every morning at 6:30. My good intentions eventually wane as I find my hand hitting the snooze for a half an hour.

Ah yes... the snooze button can ruin good intentions. That's why I gave it up for Lent.... not that it helped; I just overslept more. I usually manage to get in my bible reading on the Metro (I spend 2 hours on the train every day, so I might as well). I really need to work on fitting in more prayer time though.

God had a reason for you having this job- as we discovered last week. Nothing in your life is insignificant!
