Well it's been 9 days so far back in Gabon, lots has happened and it's only the beginning of a fun and busy summer. For the most part, I've been planning and scheduling for teams and interns to come soon, and yet at the same time I've been having to lead a few interns and one team who just left. The last intern is leaving tonight, which will leave me and the rest of my team (Leanne, Hannah) one day without anyone before teams and interns come piling in.
I was reminded these past few days of the importance of remaining focused on INTENTIONAL ministry and investing in relationships. There is a lot of scheduling and administrative procedures that need to be taken care of constantly, but if I let that take over and become my focus here this summer, then I'm missing the point. I encourage you as well, that if you're are being consumed and overwhelmed with work and things that in the end are not kingdom bound, then take a moment and reevaluate your priorities. For me, God reminded me that I need to be serious in the relationships I've developed here and continue to share His love and light to those I come in contact with.
Well yesterday in Gabon it was Mothers Day. So happy mothers day!
Love you all.
