Sunday is the new Funday. Or something???

So tomorrow should be cool. I'm getting up early (not so cool) to go visit Newport Beach Church and then at night visiting Fusion, Christian Assembly's version of the Mill. Newport is a Hillsong plant that has been around for about a year or so. They actually have 3 evening services at 5, 7, and 9! But I'm going in the morning so I can visit the other church at night with a couple guys from the apartment here.

I'm really excited about Christian Assembly, cause a certain guy who graduated from Fuller a few years back who I read and listen to a lot used to go there. He describes it as a community exploding with creativity and life, full of people who seemed to like nothing better to do on a Sunday morning than go to a church service. This church helped him and his wife to start dreaming about what a church could be (Tassels 097). Sounds pretty good to me.

And in between, I think I'll grab lunch and watch the Chargers play, then play guitar or read something that isn't a school book. I'm determined to relax on Sundays now. No excuses or emergencies. No unpacking (yes, I'm still digging through boxes) or studying. And no stress pr frustration even if the Chargers fall apart again!

I think that is a big reason why God led me here. I knew for a couple years that I needed to implement more balance and rest in my life, and even though I was exhausted and overwhelmed I kept adding more and more to my schedule because they needed me or it was a good thing. I loved all those opportunities I had to serve and love people, but I'm still trying to recover. It almost burned me out. Maybe sometimes it did... And since I couldn't learn moderation, maybe now that I have nothing extra to do and no way to take on new responsibilities I can figure it out.
