SOA installment #4

So I leave this morning for the SOA in another hour.

This week has been a very conflicted one for me... I hope going away for this weekend will give me the chance to relax some... But we will see.

On the one hand I can't wait for this to be over, because it will free up more of my time. I feel bad in a way saying that, but I'm burned out.

I just hope I have enough left in me to respond to how God moves in me over the weekend.

I probably won't have internet while I'm gone, but those of you who have my number are free to call. Messages are always appriciated and I will call back whenever I get a chance.

VICTORY FOR THE FORCES OF DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM! (pardon the inside joke...)

Patience...

...SUCKS!!!

I'm having a really hard time being patient in my life right now.

I'm in a relationship where the both of us are trying to find out the balance between going to fast, and not fast enough (I think right now, we are on the not fast enough side. We are both experts at excuses.)

I'm also feeling stuck in school, especially in one of my classes where I don't feel like I'm learning, but I need to finish it to complete my major, and I'm at a point where I'm going to have to work my butt off to get a passing grade, and I'm not feeling too inspired.

I feel like God has so many things for me, and there is so much growing that I have to do, but it seems like I can't. I haven't had the time to go to a small group or any other kind of group with my church for a few weeks, so all I have is Sunday.

I'm doing lots of really awesome things at Regis, but I feel like I'm stretched to far to really put my focuse into them.

Not to mention what I would consider my spiritual "mid-life" crisis, where I feel caught between the Evangelical Christianity that I grew up in, and the more Traditional Catholic/Orthodox/Etc Christianity that I've been able to experience at Regis, and feeling like I can't find a home for myself that takes all the positive things that I've learned.

So I'm trying to be patient, and trying to discern where to focus my energy, but in the end I feel like I'm just burning myself out...
