It's so quiet

It's really quiet at 4am.

Well 4.13 right now to be exact

Before you ask why I'm awake and blogging at 4am, let's just pretend you didn't.

Let's just say, it's really quiet at 4am

I sit at a computer from 9-5 every day, and have done since I started at the Project Funding Office last May. It's strange to think it's been more than a year now, especially with how comfortable it feels, and how much I enjoy my work. I know so many people bemoan the humble desk job (especially the ones that 'pay' like mine in YWAM!!) but i'm (somewhat) proud to say that I really love admin. The numbers, the order, the filing, the databases, all ring of order I don't know anywhere else. So much of my life is made up of crazy extremes and moving from one plan to the next that there is something so appealing about the order that comes with running the perfect donation query so you can sort a list of 6000 people into the exact 1986 person sample you need.

oh and I get to be there to process funds and email people when their fevered prayers for provision for amazing, inspired, life giving projects in every corner of the world come to fruition after a generous donor follows the prompting of the Spirit to give.....those are the best emails and phone calls.

But it's still really quiet at 4am. The clicking of the keyboard seems a lot louder, echoing a little, a little obscene, disturbing the peace.....but it's comforting too.

In the dark, in the quiet, it means that there's still noise somewhere, that those distant corners are waking up, or in the middle of their day and God still works, He never slumbers or sleeps, He is still taking care of his kids, in the noise and in the quiet of 4am too.
