Psalm 3 made me laugh as my image of the 60 or so children we have running around our church right now sprang to my mind, as I read about how many are my enemies. (Not that they are enemies but with all those kids sometimes you feel overwhelmed.) So then a few verses later it says "I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on either side." I couldn't help but think about registration that morning as everyone always arrives at once and has a million questions that it seems only I can answer so I am going in a thousand directions!
God is with us though as he helps to smooth out the rest of the week. We trust in him to give us strength each day to deal with the children and enough energy to make it through the week. Each year we pray for the families that attend and hope that someone will join our church as a result of this week. Today a mom approached me, one who has been coming for the past 3 years now, and told me that she is thinking of looking for a new church as she is unhappy in her current one. I of course went on to expound Matthew's talent, especially with the children. She may come to church this Sunday!
Keep us in you prayers and thoughts all week. And give a little cheer, a group of us finished packaging the meals this afternoon. They will be leaving on Monday for Haiti!!!
