Catching Up

I feel a little behind, today. I spent 2 days last week sick in bed, and the rest of the week recovering. My Mom was out for the weekend, which was a real treat, and heads home today. I'm looking ahead over the next two weeks, and feeling a little overwhelmed!

This week we are planning a big event for our kids in Third Floor Clubs - they've been working on little wooden racecars much of the year, and on Friday AWANA has graciously agreed to lend us their state-of-the-art race track (complete with electronic timers) and host a GRAND PRIX. We've got trophies & ribbons, popcorn & balloons and are planning to invite parents, friends & neighbours to the event. That is, we WERE planning this until I realized only 4/25 volunteers could actually make it. So I came in this morning planning on cancelling... and just as I was about to pick up a phone, I found out I had an extra 3 volunteers willing to come. So I'm putting the cancellation off a little bit longer to see if God will pull a few more strings and get this going once again! It's a lot of work to put together, so we need a lot of help to pull it off!

It's also spring break next week, and we're running 2 separate Day Camps, in the Vacation Bible School style. This week will be busy with that alone, recruiting kids, getting decorations & set up ready, orienting the missions teams coming in to help, and getting it all going.

Add to that weekend commitments speaking in churches (although that's been a blessing - my finances are somewhere above the 70% mark!! That, in a space of about 2 monts, from 45%. Praise God & THANK YOU, everyone who's made a difference!) and I'm feeling ready for a vacation!

So, if you think of it, pray for me in the next 2 weeks, to be efficient & effective in my use of time, to have a good grasp on what's important and what's not, and to be able to pace myself properly. Also pray specifically on FRIDAY, for our community event, and NEXT WEEK, all through the week, as we run VBS.

THANKS!
