Straight Ahead

AND SO...

It's almost been a week now--and time is already flying by!

I've really only had two full days on the job...and they've consisted of doing some clean-up/organzing behind the church's front stage in the sactuary (which, strangely, I enjoyed. It must be my love of making this looking nice spacially.) And then I also got to help the worship leader, Spencer (the son in my host family), by organizing his worship songs into binders. good stuff! Today the pastor's wife, Cheri, took me and Traci, the church secretary, out to BJs to do some shopping for the women's tea tomorrow. It should be a good time of fellowship and I'm hoping to meet some more of the church ladies.

So while all of that is well and good, I do need to ask for prayer in some areas.

1) I've been getting sleepy lately, even with a good amount of sleep at night and a nap mid-day. I don't know if it's b/c I've gone back up to 50mg a day of savella (i think i recall that being an intital symptom that wore off), but yeah I need to feel rested throughout my day!

2) I've had some issues with pain & energy, which I'm thinking is from coming off Savella and which I pray will also recede as I come back on it.

3) I really want to start a daily time with the Lord where I just have a private place to talk to Him for a while. Pray this place is revealed to me and that I make time to get there every day.

4) I was asked to give the Word at this upcoming Wednesday's mini church service. Pray that I hear clearly what the Lord wants to say and present it soundly through the Holy Spirit's empowerment.

5) I really want to improve my instrumental skills- both with guitar and piano. This will take dedication and practice and reaching out for help--all which I need much grace for.

That's about it, I think. Your prayers and love move mountains by His Spirit!

I titled this blog "Straight Ahead" because that is where my gaze is and I'm confident God will take me there...straight into His will. I am comforted to know that no matter how this internship pans out, I have Jesus. and JESUS IS MOST!
