Plans & Meetings

Yesterday we had a two hour long meeting to plan for the next three weeks. In the next three weeks, we have six groups coming to work alongside of us. Also, since our interns have left us, we all have to pick up the slack and take on a few extra responsibilities. These next few weeks are going to be busy and full.

The funny thing about planning is that no matter how hard we try, we do not know what is going to happen. Only the Lord does and it is He that is in charge. It is comforting, on one hand, to know that He is in control and is working all things out for His glory and for those who love Him. On the other hand, it is very hard to give up that sense of control and trust in Him. Also, the things we do are not important to the Lord, it is our relationship with Him that counts.

I pray that I am able to remember these things, especially in these next few weeks which will be very busy. I must remember that this life is about relationships and that my relationship with my Savior is so much more important than my busy schedule. Please pray for each member of our team here and each member of the short-term groups that we all put our relationship with our Father first and follow His leading in all we do. Pray that we can give up that sense of control and trust in Him to show us how to live and how to love.

I am glad we had our meeting yesterday (not necessarily that it was two hours long) and that our team is all on the same page about who is doing what and where we all need to be. This is a good thing. I also know that if we forget about our relationship with the Lord, all of our planning will have been for nothing.
