Overwhelmed. That’s the only word I can come up with 3 days after Catalyst. I’m not exaggerating when I say I came back a different person. I’m thinking about things differently. I want different things. I don’t know, a little of my spiritual DNA changed a little last week.
And then life happened.
Saturday morning I did a charity walk. Saturday afternoon we went to the Renaissance Festival. Sunday was church. Today was work.
None of this was bad stuff. But I went from two days on a high and wanting to change the world, back to life. Just life. And not that my life is bad. But it just…is life.
And I know I can make a difference with just life but I don’t know. I’m having a hard time processing it all. Last night I was exhausted and just went to bed, cried and took a nap. It was the only thing I could do. And then I got up and went back through all my notes and made a list a page long of takeaways.
And somehow, some way I have to make it my life.
Isn’t that how it always is? It goes back to the worldview—you have to do everyday stuff but if your worldview is different…well, even the everyday stuff will be bigger…better…and more purposeful. I don’t know. Can’t wait to hear more!

We need another dessert date so I can process all this! Wish we were closer!

yes, still dying to talk…
it’s just like going to camp when i was younger. you’re on such a high when you leave and then life intervenes. i tell my people at church that you don’t have to be passionate about the thing that i’m passionate about (shoebox ministry) but for crying out loud, be passionate about SOMETHING!
too many of us sit on our pews expecting a blessing when if we followed Jesus’ teachings about helping the poor and oppressed we would experience more blessings than we could ever imagine. but when our “leaders” get passionate about boycotting disneyworld and speaking about against yoga, what do we expect?
i just heard about this yoga thing the other day?! so weird!
that’s the southern baptist’s for you. of which i am one. (don’t know for how much longer.) yoga!! really? people are dying and going to hell and we choose to rant about yoga! go figure. i really thought perry noble would have jumped on this before now. would LOVE to hear his take on it.
Our current church is part of the Baptist association here and our previous church was Southern Baptist and I STILL don’t get it. Yes, it’s origins were in India but I’ve been to a yoga class and there is nothing religious about it these days…
