Trapped

I have the feeling that God has me where He wants me and will not let me depart for a while. I am caught in a situation that I cannot manoeuvre myself out of and I am not sure I want to escape. You see, I am trapped inside……youth ministry. There is nothing else I can see myself doing in the foreseeable future so I might just as well get used to it and settle down for what could be a long ride

Today is Monday, and Mondays are normally my days off, but there is some work that needs doing and I must do it because deadlines must be met and those deadlines will not move just because I have a day off. We also have our monthly Bible Study group sleepover this weekend and I must make sure everything is ready by then. Thursday is a public holiday and that means that Friday will be occupied by people in the office who would rather be somewhere else. This also means that Wednesday will be like a Friday so today and tomorrow are the only two really productive days this week and I must make them count.

I am currently reading through the Gospel according to Matthew and it is interesting to see Jesus developing from a child who needed protection from King Herod to a master forcefully resisting the devil’s temptations with the Word of God. There is probably something that I should be learning at this stage in life, and I will probably share it with you when I have found out what it is. In the meantime, thank you for all those who pray for me and support me in various ways. You are the fuel that keeps my engine running. God bless you.
