This was a hard day for me. The emails and phone calls continued (mostly phone calls), and most of these phone calls were stressful. The church seems to be going into another round of spiritual attacks, and today I was being attacked as well. It would seem that my many attempts to do things in a loving and Christian way were not perceived as loving nor Christian to others. Bottom line: I had a lots of folks upset with me for various reasons. This was a bit upsetting to me because I had no malicious intent in any of these circumstances.
I also have a couple of jobs that are pursuing me for contract work; one of them is my former company!
And so, for the second day in a row, my time was taken up by church and job happenings and I did not get to the one thing I needed to do this week – a Bible study on Nehemiah, which I am teaching this Sunday. I think tomorrow needs to be a no phone, no email day. This will be difficult because I already have two scheduled (and stressful) events happening tomorrow (a phone call and a meeting), and I should probably call another person as well, creating a third stressful situation. I just want to be happy and to be left alone right now!
Hey, at least I had a nice breakfast with my friends, and my evening was spent watching a free movie preview.
Day 45 mood: Sad and upset. Tired and dejected. My evening was spent with a simply massive headache, likely brought on by a combination of stress, allergies and because I didn’t have any coffee today.
