Happy... Friday?

It seems like in the world of today that everyone is talking about their favorite day… FRIDAY! Constantly you hear things like, “I cannot wait until Friday,” or “Is it Friday yet?” or “Thank God it’s Friday!”

Everyone’s favorite day is Friday because it is the start of most people’s weekends; the start of the time that most people don’t have to work. For some it is the night that they get to go out and have a drink or a few, or for others it is the night that they get to keep the kids up a little bit later just to have the little head resting on their chest while the television glows gently in the background with some Disney movie that you’ve see a million times, but would watch a million more times if it means that you get to spend time with your little one. Friday is the favorite day because most people can go to bed knowing that they don’t have to set an alarm the next day even if they will wake up with their internal alarm clock.

But what if I told you that Friday is not my favorite day of the week. What if I told you that the day I cannot wait for every week is none other than Sunday! The day most people who love Friday dread.

I love Sunday’s because I know that I get to go to church! Which is by far my favorite time because I get to spend uninterrupted time with my King!! And yes, I can have quality time with Jesus any time I want to have it, but when I am at church I am surrounded by people who want the same thing as I do— time to spend with the one and only Perfect King! I get to forget about the world and sing songs of praise to my Father! Because no matter what is happening outside of the church, I do not have to think about it! I get to take the time and just spend it with Jesus! And I don’t know about you, but that is my favorite thing to do! It is the one thing that I love more than anything! Because regardless of how I feel that day or how low my spirits may be, or how disappointed I am in myself, Jesus still loves me and is never disappointed in me! And He wants to spend time with me. He doesn’t need me, but He WANTS and LOVES me, AND all of my baggage and brokenness!!

And so as each new week approaches I cannot wait for it to be Sunday again so that I get to spend quality time with my Maker, with the only one who can love me unconditionally.

And so my friends, happy Friday! But I cannot wait for Sunday!
