I have been learning a lot about balancing my time and efforts as I want to make sure my time with God and family is in order. The challenge with the interconnectivity available due to new technologies has lead to both positives and negatives including the opportunity to stay connected with my wife on a regular basis as well as hearing from teens in almost real-time when they are really needing encouragement and support. YET there is the need to balance 24 hour access (not just texting but facebook and all) with the need to turn everything off for a time and have face-to-face time with JUST my family.
Ministry has been going well although not without its challenges. I have preached once (on I Timothy 1:12-17) as well as have enjoyed the Senior High ministry opportunities and leadership growth; yet Junior High ministry is a challenge with the small number of kids and difficulty trying to connect with parents. Please be praying for what this might look like and what God is doing which I have been blind to thus far.
Please be praying for the biggest challenge thus far which is educational. For numerous reasons, we aren't happy with the public school system thus far and we are seeking God's direction on what this might mean for next year.
