So I just read my previous post, and think that I'm back at a place I visit often, which is not knowing what to do with myself during ordinary time. The time that God gives us to walk the path faithfully with little fanfare. The moments of gentleness and renewal and trust.

I've never been very good with ordinary time - in the church year or in my own life. I am much better when things are moving and grooving - when I have too much to do and too little time to do it. That is when I trust God! That is when I rely on Christ to give me strength!

This....sabbath, in a way....it is interesting that I'm receiving the gift of time and silence and rest - the things I craved only a few weeks ago! - and I don't know what to do with myself.

Maybe this summer I'll actually try to find out.
