If you haven't noticed, the swap project got put on hold for a little bit - the sign: no posts for a while! Yep I hit my first major hurdle: the loss of momentum. It's amazing how powerful momentum can be - something I don't realise til it's gone! One of the definitions for 'momentum' is "the impetus gained by a moving object". There's that word... MOVING... an action word! It's so true though. The more we do the things we hope to do whether we feel like it or not, the more we actually want to do it. Momentum.
So why do I put the breaks on?!
I have just come back from an amazing camp where there was lots of momentum for me. I was so compelled by Jesus and love for others that I was focussed and active whether I felt like it or not. I didn't really have time to dwell on how I felt about somethings, I just had to decide if it was worth doing for someone else. And every time it ended up being a joy, even if it started out as something I didn't feel like doing. I thought I would come home able to keep up the momentum. I did for a day because other people depended on me and there was lots of events on Sunday. Monday afternoon I began putting on the breaks... and here I am on Wednesday wishing I hadn't cause it seems like a big effort to get the moment going again. Sure I needed the rest, but now I need to get focussed again. Wishing I was surrounded by people again to help me do that. Living amongst a big bunch of Christians for a week certainly is a slice of heaven, a glimpse of what's to come :)
Well... this is me trying to get my focus back. Swap project recommencing now. It's all about the small choices, the choices of each moment, right. Ok. Right now, I am going to log off, close my computer and read a book or call a friend. See you tomorrow folks :)
