Week off
Week Off
Guys it has been such an honor to write and record and produce for you every single week now for exactly 7 months uninterrupted. I am just going to try to rest and recuperate this week. I’ve been in a 15 day pain flare y’all. It’s been intense but feels like maybe it’s finally fading in the last couple days. I have had to lay down all day, everyday for weeks now. How ironic that it hasn’t been restful. It has not… I’m friggin exhausted…
I will say! I’ve added to my arsenal of home physical therapy workouts and stretches that I can do without an in person PT. It’s been a good fight.
I think… today… I just need prayer to cover my house. I’m pausing my production to spend time in prayer and in rest. I have plenty of articles I could produce… but this is a “prayer over production” ministry.
It’s ALWAYS in PROCESS.
I’m just going to leave you with something that happened this past week. Felt like a message worth SHAREing…
FB POST Wednesday 5.18.22
My kid comes home from school and curls up on my chest as I’m laying on the couch. She tells me all about her day and how much it sucked and why. She gives details, conversation recaps, tells me how certain people pissed her off and tells me how she honestly feels physically, emotionally and mentally.
She has no idea how bad my day has been. Or my pain. Or how much I have going on. Or how many emails I have to write.
To her, I’m just her dad… who is listening… and cares.
When she’s done talking to me, we both feel better.
I still have everything going on that I had going on… her day was still her day…
but we both feel better...
I bet that’s how God feels when we pray. No matter what He has going on, He loves it when you talk to him. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad. Doesn’t matter how simple the convo. He never has too much going on to hear you. There’s nothing you could bring to Him that would be too small.
You aren’t bothering Him. He wants to hear from you.
Promise.
I feel like a kid who has been pulling on his Fathers’ coat tails everyday…lol. I OVER bother Him and I still am not a bother to Him. Someone needs to hear that today.
❤️
Y’all have an incredible week. Don’t be surprised if there’s a mid week article that comes out. We actually have a few that are nearly ready for release.
God bless!
Joel.
PS. I keep having different people and different prompts to develop content for Instagram. I know it’s a weird thing to say, but multiple people (even someone today) brought it up… so if you have any ideas about how to turn a bunch of words (newsletter) and a podcast into content for Instagram… shoot me your ideas.. I’d love to hear em and it seems like people want us to SHARE on IG. (I promise not to work on it today. Haha…resting in 3..2…1)
