This week’s mission is to stay afloat! It is easy in the summer to slack off or take an extra break in the day. The reality is that this is a time when you have to seize every quiet moment in the office to get things done. My boss has been on vacation for a week and comes back tomorrow and I am suppose to have some things done. Some times you might not care specially what I have to do, but behind all things there is a reason, season or lesson to be learned.
1. Women’s ministry is within reaching distance and I still don’t have things coming together on how to accomplish the goals. Wait – do I even have goals laid out for the ministry yet? Whew! Lots of work to be done. I think once I get rolling on it then it will be more easy going than I think. Lessons to be learned on how to meet people’s needs and to engage with all people to share the love of Christ.
2. Orientation is only 2 months away and we have so much to develop. I have to plan a week of work for the OTLs, plan time for them to work with the RAs on several things AND I have to figure out the whole tv show script. I have decided on the theme for OTLs and already have design going for the tshirts. This should be fun! I know its going to take lots of work, little amounts of sleep and many hands. We will survive — because we always do! Always an Orientation season…and a new season begins for these freshmen so we try to make it a great experience. There is also a reason I get the privelege to do these two weeks of events.
3. Portfolio for my Photography has been pushed along so many years now. I am hoping to tackle that this upcoming month. I will try to have an online version and a print version too. The reason behind doing this is to bring my photography to a professional level.
4. Elevate should be a good time this year. My mission in the next week is to really be in prayer over the people leading, the approach to reach people, and how to creatively engage people through music, image and words. We do have a planning meeting coming up on June 23rd. That might be a couple of hours. Again, a lesson to be learned from other people.
Upcoming fun things I am on mission to do…
Mom is coming on Thursday with Hunter, Glo and Hannah on the train. It should be a fun couple of days.
I leave next week to see Melissa and her family. And hope to get my meeting worked out with Nicole before I board my plane back to SC.
July 4th celebration @ my mom’s house is going to be a blast and Bethany is coming too!
