Where to begin?
Seems like a lot is happening in my life right now... Feels a little chaotic. Not looking for the answer in all of it--just looking for God. Trying anyway. Sometimes it's hard to stay focused, when you're spinning in circles. At any rate... a few little updates:
For the last 3 days running, Tate has broken out in some kind of hideous, violent rash around mid to late afternoon. It's onset is seemingly unprovoked, and after it causes him pain and gives off massive amounts of his body heat, it then vanishes, much the same as it arrives. He's been in totally different places each time, having had totally different food each day, doing totally different activities. No one can explain it. It starts small but quickly covers virtually his entire body. His skin becomes bright red, and welts appear. His tongue begins to hurt him, his cheeks swell up. It's totally and completely bizarre. Rachael was holding him during today's outbreak, and the amount of heat coming off his body actually caused her to sweat. I've spoken with 3 nurses so far, and not one of them has a clue.
Also, Dave, worship leader at my church whom I've posted about occassionally, announced Wednesday night at practice that he was resigning, effective Sunday after church... I have no idea what this means for the team, to be quite honest... We'll just have to wait it out and see. Chuck (my pastor) made it clear in my conversation with him today that we will not be pursuing a new worship leader from outside the church. The church leadership feels very strongly about this, they will be developing from within, so to speak. We have some great talent, I think they are making a good call... not an easy one, but a good one. Afterall, we're looking at having another church officially planted in 15 months. We need to have some people ready to start a worship ministry there too.
Anyway... so that's kinda how my week has been going. I'm really excruciatingly tired, and am going to bed now.
Seek Him always.
