Sheer Exhaustion

That's what I am feeling.

It isn't a bad thing....I am just plum tired....so tired I slept through my alarm and missed church. But that is ok.

Am getting a lot of paperwork done. And I mean a lot.

Simon has been busting his rear getting this library finished and getting families resettled. The guy even gets stuff done on his day off. It just amazes me how dedicated he is. It is almost like he has construction on the brain.

And I would like to announce a new staff member, as of January 4th, 2010....ready?
PATO!!!!
He was approved by Charles and is good to go!! PG!!!

Today was a beautiful day...no rain!! Ha. I walked to the office...it was just so nice. Had lots of ideas and direction from Charles today. I feel like I spent my day in the office...and it is a Sunday. Praise God we get "off" for about two weeks during the holidays...

On that note, what am I to do on this time off? Regroup? Sleep? Clean? Go to Tegot? Do some sort of programs for the 'hood kids? hmmm...what? Pray for me on that, ok? The kids in the nieghborhood now run to the gate and greet me by name when I come in and out. It is kinda cool. There is one deaf girl and then a little boy who are always trying to convince me to let them come in the compound...soon my friends....soon. I think I will wait until someone else lives with me to open up the garage as a local library for the kids....we will see.

Today, I miss my dear co-workers, Lantha and Freeman. We had such a good team last year at school. They are awesome...I miss them much. So I got their cell's and called them. They didn't pick up and I left a message...they probably had no clue it was Africa calling. :)

I feel like my brain is moving with a lot of stuff. I originally didn't plan on doing managerial stuff when I signed up to come here. I feel like I really need to sit down and do a lot of that...but it is so hard when my heart wants to be in Tegot 24/7. With all the amazing things going on in Tegot, I would prefer to spend my time there instead of anything else...but I have to be responsible. It is exciting to know that I am needed in this capacity for time and can assist.

I also feel very focused and driven in my purpose. Not for any reason or other, but I just feel so in the groove. I don't want anything or anyone to sway me or distract me. You know where in the bible it talks about Christ keeping your thoughts captive seems so real to me.

"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" 2 Corinthians 10:5

Keeping my eyes fixed on the Author and Perfector of my Faith!!
