This is it; the final mad dash before the beginning of the DTS. Though I dislike the word stressed, it seems to be the only word to describe my anxious unrest and bloodshot eyes. Don't get me wrong; I am so thrilled to start this school off and meet all the trainees coming in from around the world. But I think my body is subconsciously preparing to be stressed by pre-stressing itself out (it's weird and makes no sense, I know).
Other than a being in a constant state of jitteriness, things have been good. Who knew that once you acquired the title "STAFF", God could still talk to you and challenge you? All I can say is, thank God that He does! It's been wonderful to get back into the swing of "being" with God again. It's something He's really challenged me about; putting Him before my own needs and wants. Painful at times, but so worth it in the end!
The trainees arrive on Saturday. Please pray for safe flights and travels for the students and that we, as staff, will be able to welcome them into a warm and organized environment.
This post will be brief as I am about to enjoy some quality girl time before the school starts. God knows I'll be grateful in three months time! Much love to all of you and, hopefully, you'll hear from me soon!
Sounds like you need a "Cup of Chai", sweetie. I know this girl who can make a fantastic chai tea from scratch....
ReplyDeleteI pray that you will continue to hear (& follow) that still, small voice in amongst all the clatter and bustle of the mad dash. Take each challenge as it comes, and keep on breathing. This is going to be an awesome ride!
