Today was a full day. It began with a 7:15am meeting at Discovery Middle School for a First Priority meeting. First Priority is a student led group of kids who meet together to fellowship and learn about Jesus at school. It is a unique opportunity for discipleship. in the public school system. After that, a couple hours were spent at Starbucks studying and reading. I feel I am going to be spending more time and money at Starbucks as the semester goes along. Since it was Tuesday we had our TBC staff meeting followed by staff lunch at Panera Bread. Again... another place that will be collecting my money over the next year. It's a good place to go to study and work. The afternoon was spent putting out fires on the AYSO front. The emails today seemed to be endless.
As I look back on the busy day, it is important to reflect on the small things. Remember what I am thankful for and how God's hand was at work in the midst of a busy day. I am thankful that I can work with a church staff that is so welcoming and inviting. I am thankful that I can work with them and learn from them as I go through this seminary journey. As I work through all of the issues in AYSO, I am thankful for a staff that works well with me and a staff that supports me and helps me run the Area. I am thankful for an Assistant that is always there to be my sounding board, to help me deal with difficult issues and to help me keep my composure and not pull my hair out.
In the midst of all the work that still must be done, all of the books to read, papers to write In the middle of the job hunt, finding that right job that will work well with my schedule and school work. Even with the uncertainty of what tomorrow will hold, there is comfort in knowing that God's hand is all of it, guiding every step of the way.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
