Into the Desert

It's the 5th week of Easter, and I have been numb all this time.

After the euphoria of singing at the EASTER Vigil, I thought I'd turn over a new leaf, and start praying regularly.... but instead, her I am in week 5, and not even a night prayer said.

There are, of course, always excuses - work has been crazy. My migraines have been back with a vengence, sometimes twice a day. The strain of doing a job I picked up because no one else wanted it (or knew how to do it) is beginning to be too wearisome. My attempts to escape, and find another function that is less frustrating have been stillborn.

And yet, maybe its the other way around.... Perhaps it is wrong to say that I am not praying because of these problems. Perhaps closer to the truth would be to say that I am in this rut BECAUSE I am not praying.

An Epiphany of sorts.

15 past midnight - and I intended to sleep a 11pm .... I already feel a twinge of a headache, triggered from tiredness and lack of sleep.
A quick prayer tonight, Lord, and then to sleep.
"Help me come back to you."
