I definitely like the idea of Quiet Day, taking the time to spend with God, however the fact that you can't talk to anyone outloud seems a tad ridiculous at times. I mean at lunch when you have something on your face, no one tells you. But at other times people try to communicate through hand gestures, signs, or mouthing words. I mean if you need to ask or tell someone something, shouldn't you be able to?
Anyways I had a great morning, on the bike path by the river. I sat under a tree and read, as well as listened. Then I walked up the path a ways and found a classmate sleeping on a bench with a blanket and pillow, exactly what they told us not to spend quiet day doing lol.
Yesterday, we had a prac week meeting and I volunteered myself to do too much in too little time. I felt really overwhelmed once all I had to do started to sink in, not a great feeling. Then as I was hurrying into lunch, I tripped going up the stairs and hit my knee on the brick, tearing the knee of my jeans, as well as my skin.
This really didn't add to how I was feeling, however, right before I was getting ready to go into town, John reminded me that as prayer partners we should have a prayer meeting. Almost to the point of tears, I agreed. What a blessing, at the time when I needed it most.
In town I bought a new pair of jeans and relaxed a bit, before coming back and starting to work.
I may not be able to finish all the things I have to do, especially not on my own strength, but God can help me, whether its by giving me the courage to ask for more time or placing people in a position to help me.
