Oh my.

Friends, I just need some space to process a few things. Here goes:
In the month of May I will only have 3 full days available to be in the office. Next month I will be on Emergency Disaster Services, going as a delegate to the territorial social services seminar, doing my cousin Sarah's wedding (yeah!), attending the divisional business seminar, and going to SACEP. Mind you, I am looking forward to all of these things, however, I feel quite guilty for not being in the office more. Additionally, in June, I will be attending the pre-Jamboree, Commissioning, and music camp. This takes me away from the corps three Sundays in a row. July brings the Jamboree and Pilgrimage (2 Sundays) and August brings SACEP, brief furlough, and returning my family to CFOT. October brings the Scandinavian Jubilee with the divisional youth band and Officers Councils. November begins kettles.

Oh. my.

Quite simply, I will not neglect the responsibilities I have assumed in the next months. However, I am painfully aware that when August comes I will have to do some serious pruning of activities I'm involved in. Army though they may be, they do not all have direct correlation to my corps. I want to be more available for my people. I do not want them to always assume that I am too busy for them.

Dear Lord,
Grant me wisdom. Show what to do (and not to do). Teach me how to be in Your presence. Teach me Sabbath - not laziness - but Sabbath.
Amen

"In the chaos, in confusion I know You're sovereign still. In the moment of my weakness You give me strength to do Your will. So when You call I won't refuse. Each new day again I'll choose. There is no one else for me. None but Jesus. Crucified to set me free. Now I live to bring Him praise." - Hillsong
