I'm Tired!

Yeah I said it. I'm tired and weary. It's been over a month since I have posted and the couple of people who may have been reading these things may have moved on to more interesting reading than reading about the inner workings of my mind..... or lack of. Let me list some things...
1. spent a week at campmeeting
2. Cleaned the facilities after every campmeeting service.
3. My wife working part time and going to school part time.... how does that affect me???? If you know my awesome wife you understand.
4. Got real sick at campmeeting... spent 2 days in an old dormatory in bed.
5. developed an ear infection that left a ringing that I still have.
6. was camp director the next week at youth camp. Exhausting!!!

Your probably formulating your opinion and how you should word telling me what an idiot I was for doing all this.... you won't get much of an argument.

7. The last night of campmeeting, I got a call at 2:30 in the morning that precious Diego Flynn, the 1 year old who was sick from my church passed away.....spent the entire night and next day with the family watching them mourn as they hold his lifeless body in their arms.
8. performed his funeral and all of the things that goes along with it.
9. Dealt with finances
10. received other hospital calls
11. dealt with family issues.
12. Still a pastor, still a husband, still a dad, still a son, still a Christian... you get the point.
13. mix into all this dissapointment, frustration and other personal feelings.

This pales in comparison with what others have endured... but I can't help but look back over the past month in amazement of how my wife and I made it!
I had several people get in my face and my wifes face and tell us to slow down.... some of those people were well intentioned and knew what they were talking about... some minimalized, trivialized and conveyed an ignorance that says, "just leave things undone". God has heavenly angels (messsengers) and earthly angels (messengers). I want to list some earthly angels.... Shyrel O'Neal, Sean O'Neal, Jesse Rodriguez, Kelly Rodriguez, Delma Villareal, Loyd Wood, Mark Williams, Sandra Williams, David White, Alfonso and Emma Rodriguez, Amy Steenburg Fernie and Patty Portillo, Fide Ortiz...and most recently, Dan Maston(don't be offended if your name was not here this time) these are people that God sent to me at strategic times when I needed something. Tommorrow I'm preaching about the woman with the issue of blood... in the midst of "busyness", her world stopped as she touched the hem of His garment. I'm tired, yet I feel like have have touched his hem... the bleeding has stopped... and Jesus has stopped and is asking the proverbial question, "who touched me?". My touch gets his attention and His touch secures my healing. Yeah I'm still weary and yeah that 2 week vacation in a couple of weeks looks real good, but I can honstly say, "the bleeding has stopped". He is good!
