Lord, I have so many things that I really want to talk over with You. I have certainly been praying. That never stops. I haven't had much time to journal/post or whatever it should be called. I like the recollection that looking back on these entries allows.
I just don't know where to begin.
Perhaps the first, or one of the first, may be the Junior Church program. I will and I suppose I even must admit to a high degree of frustration and disappointment with Heritage over their treatment of children. In a more accurate way, I might even call it their ignorance of children. Not ignorance about, but the ignoring of them and their needs. Lord, for years now I have said that Heritage needs at least a part-time, paid Christian Education director. It has been hinted that the new youth pastor may eventually take on the entire Christian Education program. God help us...God, help us! I do love the children, and I love teaching You and Your word to them. I am getting older and much more tired. Working full time is also hard. I don't have as much time to do the multiple, myriad things that would make Junior Church as effective as possible.
Well, enough about the overall picture and on to this summer. Please, Lord, help us to put the summer schedule together smoothly and easily. I feel overwhelmed (see above regarding the multiple, myriad things) by even thinking of what needs to be done, and soon. Help me to strategize and prioritize the first, and only the first, thing. (A July schedule for staffing PreK/K and the large group?)
Lord, my eyes are not focusing well right now, probably due to fatigue. DH is not home yet. He's undoubtedly more fatigued than I am. So, prayer request #2 (not in order of importance, Lord) is his stamina.
He's home!!
