i'm looking forward to a three-day weekend - i really need it.
as much as i would have loved to go to wcc (some of the workshops look really interesting), it's only february and i'm totally burnt out.
i remember one time two years ago FNL did a section on spiritual gifts, and during one of our meetings we broke up into groups by our main spiritual gift - and i remember one of the topics my group (administration) talked about is how we feel like everyone at church expects us to plan everything. to organize everything. to be in charge of everything. granted, i'm just tired emotionally, spiritually, and physically (my forearm is sore from playing tennis for two hours straight :), because a lot has been going on these past two months, but still. this weekend is a much welcomed break. no plans, no events, no meetings, nothing that i have to organize. i don't know when was the last saturday when this was the case.
lots to be praying for. God is teaching me how to pray more purposefully, how to be more devoted in prayer. what a discipline, but the rewards can be great :)
anyway, yes my right forearm hurts so much from playing tennis on saturday. i hadn't played in five years (all i remember is the last time i played was with eric & o during the summer at berkeley. it was so stinking hot that all i wanted to do was stand in the shade, so we made eric run all over the court.) it's amazing i could even hit the ball over the net. i don't remember my forearm ever being this sore from playing tennis or from other activities, but i have a feeling it's due to some form of RSI and sitting in front of a computer and keyboard and mouse for 9+ hours/day for the past three years.
i'm ready to go on vacation. who wants to go somewhere? and i mean actually go since a bunch of us have talked about going for more than two years, but never end up going anywhere. i'm back up to more than five weeks of PTO!
