Trying to Make it to Tuesday

We drive to Maryland this weekend to perform our second Miracles show. That means that we load our rented trailer today. Then, we drive the twelve hour drive tomorrow, set up, do the show, and tear down Sunday, and drive home Monday. Honestly, I'm not ready to do all of that yet. I'm still trying to recoup from FX and filming the dvd. Plus, before that...well, it's been a crazy month.

I'm at that point where I feel like I'm in a daze sometimes. Other times, I feel sick but nothing feels bad. I just feel weak. The main thing is that I don't really want to be around people. Whenever EVERYONE around me is getting on my nerves, I know that it's me.

I'm still doing all the right things, I just don't quite have the right attitude at this moment. I'm not motivated. However, if I can just make it to Tuesday...then, we have some time off. Please pray that I make it until Tuesday.

Sounds like you might have a touch of Spring Fever! Take heart, all will be well....read Phillippians chapter 4. Please know that I am lifting you up in prayer. The weekend will be GREAT! I know some folks who are real anxious to see the show! Cliff will cheer you up! Wish that I could be there also....will just have to wait to catch the Miracles show!

Love ya!

I recently learned we have 4 energy areas: physical, emotional, mental & spiritual. Normally, they function about the same level. (i.e. On a scale of 1-12, normal is 3.) Yet, when you are stressed, the emotional energy level soars (up to 12) draining the other areas of their energy (to 1). So all of your energy is being eaten up by stress. Thus, you feel tired mentally and physically and even spiritually. Does that make sense?

Right now, I'm trying to find a job with a purpose in ministry or non-profit. I have an MBA and 16 yrs of business experience from the auto industry. I've applied for 2 jobs. 1 I didn't get (over-qualified) and the other for Blood:Water Mission is not even returning my phone calls or emails. This is really stressful for me & that's why I feel like I'm walking around in a general malaise. Or I lay in bed on my laptop & stare at the laundry, because it takes every ounce of me to get out of bed.

How to get over it? Prayer & time. Some days are better than others. But it wont be forever. I wrote Breaking Free on my blog to focus on life getting better. Hope this helps. Praying for Tuesday. ~Amy

Yeah. Brock says that you have three gauges like your fuel gauge on your car...physical, emotional, and spiritual. You must keep all of these on full or else you will make an unhealthy decision or burnout. I just don't know how to do this and do this ministry as well. I cannot find balance when my life is so unbalanced. We will leave June 1st for 6 weeks! Then, we will come home for two weeks to recoup. I can tell you right now that I'm going to get bored in those two weeks because the six weeks prior I would have lived off of adrenaline. I know what you said in my head, but I don't know how to live it out. I don't know any other women personally that travel as much as I do. I sure wish that I did. I could use the advice.

Auny! You need some good rest...it's days like today when I wish I was there to help you with all that's going on!

I miss you dearly and I'll be praying that God will give you some good rest when you get home!

Hey! I'm wondering if any of the female Christian artists travel a lot & you can make a connection there for someone to talk to. Maybe Spence would know someone. He works with some female artists doesn't he? And he's a connector right, maybe he can connect you with a female who travels a lot. I think it's different for girls. You really do need a female perspective on this one.
