Too Busy...

I have so much on my plate I feel like screaming sometimes. Though I know it's never "my work," I take responsibilty seriously. It's good, because it means that we have more short-term missionaries being sent out from Canada... but it means that the details and the coodination falls on me (I'm just one person). Don't get me wrong; I wake up every morning excited to go to work, because I know that I play an integral part in Kingdom building work... but I am human with a limited amount of time. Right now, we (OMF International) have about 50+ workers (of all backgrounds, age groups, etc) and it's definitely stretching to be coordinating their placements with the limited knowledge that I have of what each person will "actually be doing on the field" ... though that really doesn't matter really. It's about Christ working in us and transforming us into His likeness... We always make it to be "work" and about "doing things" when really it's about being and not doing. We're human beings... not human doings (Rob and Clara's quote). If you remember and have some time, pray for more help to alleviate some of the work-load!

hey jess...guess who?!

your entry reminds me of matt 9...the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few...

you're doing a wonderful job tho...God is using you now and i'm sure he'll provide the help you need in the future...

this is my prayer for you...that(despite all the things on your plate right now) you would 'Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.'
