*sigh of relief*

my hell weeks have officially ended. i would love to rant about all the deadlines i had to meet in a single week but i don't think i will today...i don't feel like ranting. i'm overjoyed actually...everything has ended. the boiling water has cooled. *huge sigh of relief* i can now go out because i want to and not because i need to get away from responsibility.

Easter Sunrise service today was great. even though i was lacking sleep, waking up at 4am didn't feel like a chore. in fact, it was a joy. being in ministry for so long can sometimes become a routine. serving during Christmas and Easter can sometimes become so mechanical. celebrating these occasions become so customary. i don't presume it's wrong to feel that way but i think sometimes we need to realise that when we celebrate these occasions, when we serve, it is to the Mighty One. do you ever celebrate a person's birthday without inviting the birthday person? the normal answer would be "no" right? anyway, Easter today was a joy because i wanted to celebrate this day with my Lord and it made all the difference. He's wonderful company.
