My Eye Reminds Me, My Heart Forgets

I am coming through one of the busiest seasons of my life with work and school, but that is behind me for now, and this week I spent a lot of time disciplining myself to rest. Yesterday morning I woke up before the alarm (normal for me) for the first time all week. And not only did I wake up, but I woke up with an overwhelming desire to preach this weekend. God spoke to me there in the bed about what I should share, and then it was down to my desk to type it into the computer so I wouldn't forget it like so many dreams I have at that time of the morning. This was important.

So important that I never forgot it, instead it has been working in my spirit for the last 24 hours. I feel renewed and energized by it. So much energy in fact that I forget I'm still recovering. When I get fatigued my eye spasms, I don't know if that happens to everyone, but it does to me. So my eye reminds me that I'm still not quite all the way back physically, but my heart has forgotten.

See you this morning at Severn River Church.
