So I'm in the process of listening to 6 songs on repeat. Why? Because they're the 6 songs that I'm doing tomorrow night at counterculture and I want to make sure I have them down. I'm leading worship there, and I must say that I am more than a little bit freaking out. I don't have a clue why though. It isn't like I haven't done this hundreds of times, every week in high school for 2 years and every week in college for 3 years. Why does this intimidate me so much?

It doesn't help that I have to finish this display board up at work. It is going to get done for sure by Tuesday, but today I've got to get the content finished up, go get colored paper to mount it on, go to Home Depot (time #3) to buy some more screws, finish the board assembly, and test out where stuff will go.

I'm also housesitting, which is surprisingly relaxing. It just makes my routine less routine, which I'm finding is slightly more stressful for me than normal. It is good that the actual housesitting isn't stressful or I'd be in trouble.

So the things that I normally do to destress (play my guitar, read a book in solitude) are things that are part of bigger stress for me. So I need to find something else to calm down or I'm going to not be much good through the weekend into next week and that is a bad thing. It is certainly times like these where the one thing I really need to do is to let go and let God, but that is much easier said than done.

Prayer needs: Strength, courage and confidence to get through tomorrow.
