Seminary classes start this Saturday, and I'm already behind. This hasn't been a good week to have a last minute assignment, which we have. Faith is trusting God has some grand idea behind being in seminary...real life is "are-you-kidding-me-you-want-me-to-do-what-by-when-while-I- am-doing-what-God-wants-or-at-least-what-I-think-God-wants-cause-anyone-doing-this- otherwise-would-be-crazy!" It mixes up all together and comes out this mash up of pain and growth and joy and sadness that puts life into a completely new perspective. God's work gets done in spite of an incomplete assignment, a frustrated committee moderator, an impatient young adult, a broken spot light, or any other impediment that makes us gasp and forget who God is.

So, I am going to plug in a piano and set up some chairs, take food to a school for children who aren't fed on the weekends, make a flyer, plan a meal, hit the grocery store at some point, send a Sunday school schedule, write some overdue notes, and keep breathing in and out...gratefully knowing that God is in charge of the world and not me...(even though my husband might disagree!)
