As I pause to catch my breath, I stop to reflect on what has transpired this extremely busy past week. Selection committee, work, COA, Truth project in community small group, condo, get-together with CCF friends, AV, church, class, Journeys of Paul reunion and slide show, etc etc..... just reviewing it all tires me out all over again.
Nevertheless, I am thankful for meaningful areas of service, special times of gathering and sharing, being able to learn, and being productive. I also praise God for what we see Him doing through our COA outreach - there were a couple of people who placed their faith in Christ this past week! The guest speaker at church gave a good message on the prodigal sons, showing us that the older brother was also a "prodigal" in that, he too, did not value the Father's love most of all; and was basing his "worth" on works. He was the one who was most like the Pharisees and Jews and the younger brother probably more like the Gentiles. My friend will be moving into the condo today, so that should be another area taken care of for now. My CCF friends and I had a nice time catching up, and I was even able to try a new restaurant. Charo's Peruvian Cuisine had this really excellent green salsa, and the Arroz con Mariscos was very tasty. Then, while the "critics" were in class yesterday, I was still able to gain much from the lesson, and I hope that the class did also. And, all went well with the slideshow; and the reunion was nice. My pastor and his wife provided a really nice kosher dinner.
Well, I'm ready to continue the "race" this week. Fortunately, it won't be as busy as the last; and I just may be able to take a few more breaths throughout and not constantly be "on the run".
