So I’ve been busy the past week.  So busy that my usually highly connected lifestyle has dwindled to short dinners with my family, a couple tweets here and there, a short blog post as I’m falling asleep, and checking 1/50 of my emails.  I’d like to say that basically disconnecting from the online world has given me opportunity to rest, but I think it has actually made me feel uncomfortable.  If I were disconnecting by choice like I have in the past, that would be a different story.

In stead, I have been so busy with the moving process that the disconnect has caused me to nearly forget about a friend’s wedding (that I couldn’t attend due to work anyway).  It’s even made it harder for me to ask for help.  Some of that has to do with not knowing how to give direction in the packing process, but moreover I have felt like I haven’t had time to ask for help.  Today I finally found some time to sent out a Facebook invite to help us move on Friday.  Hopefully I’ll get some response from that.  We’re going to be cleaning the apartment we’re moving out of on Monday (Memorial Day), so if you’re free, we could use some help with that too.

If you’ve been trying to get ahold of me or get my attention on anything over even the past month, I’m sorry that I’ve been so distracted and disconnected.  I can’t wait to go back through the message series we are in at church on rest.  I caught some of what Curt preached on tonight about finding rest through identity in Christ.  I’m sure I’ll take in a lot more in when we are settled in our new house and I’m not constantly thinking about moving any more.
