Lessons in servitude

So as not to disappoint my millions of readers, ha-ha, here is an update of things in motion.

I'm well these days, but quite tired. It is difficult to find inspiration or maybe energy to blog with and I don't want to lower the standard as to what my blog is. (Not sure what that meant exactly, but it sounds good.)

In recent days my time has gone in large part to conversations and debates through youtube. Though it has already begun to slow a bit (and thank God for it) their were a handful of people wanting to talk all at once. Ranging from a 19 year old boy to a 49 year old scientist; talk about range. The demands of putting together and guiding these discussions is taxing. Especially when matched to a full-time job, studies, friendship maintenances, and church events.

Speaking of which, though perhaps not entirely joyful, I have been given the very opportunity that I was waiting for the past 2 years. The lack of joy is not for the opportunity, but for the circumstances in which it was presented. The Sr. High youth Sunday school teacher fell ill a month ago and no one had taken his position. While he is on the mend it is not completely likely that he will be back for his job. The joy rolls in however, when I think of God's timing and providence in my life. Is this when I wanted the job? No. Is it how I wanted the job? No. But looking back it is exactly right in time, place, and people. No big surprise there, but a revealed joy to be sure.

So with a weekly Sunday school on the plate, I will have to cut back on personal writings like the books, online discussions, and journal entries I've been trying to manage; not to mention the small groups planned. While that doesn't sit right, yet, I'm sure God knows what is best and will grant the ability to manage whatever needs to be. He is always that good to me, a happy pawn in service. (^_^)
