As I look at the calendar for the remaining of this week, I see many things taking place. Our students will be leaving for their Winter Retreat at Shepherd of the Ozarks - four vans strong! These young people will experience an awesome weekend of worship and fun. Zach Martin is doing a wonderful job of leading our students into a deeper relationship with Christ.
Another van will take our 2009 Guererro Missions advance team to Mexico to prepare for our Mission Trip. Our team, led by Ken Bragg, will meet with Bro. Pedro and Sis. Maria to plan how we can join them in reaching the people of Guerrero, Paras and Agualuegas. This is an exciting time to hear from the Lord how we can obediently serve Him with our amigos y amigas en Mexico!
Also this weekend, our church will host a family reunion in the Student Refuge and a birthday party in the Fellowship Hall. In the midst of all of that Kimberly is gathering her wedding planners to map out the strategy for using the church and the Fellowship Hall for her wedding on June 20.
The calendar is full and our people are busy in one direction or another. Sometimes it is easy to lose focus of what really matters when we get so caught up in all these activities that we forget our Lord desires not our schedules, but our hearts.
I am trying to slow down and seek the Lord first and foremost. The days ahead for Sherry and me will be busy as we pack, plan, and say good-bye to dear friends. There are many demands on our time and for our attention, but nothing matters if Christ is not living through me. I hold on to the promise of Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

People are way too busy most of the time. I just try to breathe. Great verse.
