Have spent the last couple of days on a course about self employment which has been excellent. encouraging and challenging. Prior to that it was a relay of vomiting children, 5 nights in a row, a total of 9 hours sleep in 5 days! So we are all trying to get back on our feet, and I need to get back to work.
I have a load to do!
I am trying to build something. This is a good thing, and something I would not have had the time or inclination to do when I was smoking dope, drinking up or pouring my life into K/D ratios on CoD! God has better plans for us than we have. The modern culture definitely wants to give us "bread and circuses", to eat up our time and energy on entertainment, secondaries, stuff that cant and wont make a difference. We were not made for such stuff! We were given a mission, a job to do, something so significant that eternity will not forget it. But if the devil can bait the world with something tempting to our ever-warring flesh then he will do. Anything to stop us building God's Kingdom, tending is garden.
The stuff I have to do, aside from the simple fact that I have no technical ability with furniture, is all out of my capacity: heavy on the admin, paperwork and structure. But it is amazing how God has schooled me for this moment, taking on process and policy design for church even though I hate it, getting me ready for what was coming.
I am just trusting him that He will fulfill it all as I go along, as long as I sweat over what He has given me and never, ever move past His good news and continue to pray as though it all depended on Him.
