I've been in my position as the clergy person at our small church for almost a year. I've been feeling some stress related to my position and the many tasks in the last couple months, but especially the last couple weeks. This has brought more of my ADD tendencies to the forefront. Which makes me frustrated and leads to more stress. A viscious cycle.
I have many things to do in general, but specifically I have my first Holy Week and Easter on my own and all that entails beginning with Palm Sunday this coming Sunday (last two years I was assisting clergy). I ask your prayers for rest & lower stress & balance, for sermon inspiration, and for the ability to prioritize, delegate, and get done what needs to get done. Thank you!
Peace, bythesea

Prayers coming for ya!
I would offer suggestions, but I am the one who forgot to order Palms today! Ugh!
Also, the one who forgot to confirm the preacher for Sunrise Community Service and the one who forgot she had a meeting last Monday.
Which, I could not have gone to anyhow, but would have been nice to at least let somebody know.
I totally here ya. Focusing is hard!
With sermon prep, I have set mini-goals for myself during the week and weekend to get to. I then do a teeny treat. Stop for ice cream, watch tv or play on Space Hook. Not sure if this will help, but I will pray, that will help
Oh, my first solo Holy Week and Easter too!
It is a lot, I keep tellign myself to breathe
I will pray that you find serenity and peace in the madness of preparation for Holy Week!
And hugz, too! :)
