overload

I've given myself a telling off. Its been way too long since I posted on my blog. Its not because I don't have anything to say...but perhaps because I have too many things and I cant decide what to blog about and what to leave floating in the recesses of my mind.

Here's where I am at today. In two sleeps I am heading to Sydney. I am going to the Australian Eastern Territory of the Salvation Army. The weekend will be spend with the youth of the greater west division at their youth councils. Then during the week I get to hang out with the paid youth workers at their annual retreat. I have the privilege of sharing some stuff with them and feel both excited and nervous at the same time.

I will then fly to Auckland and drive straight to Easter Camp which is going to be OUTSTANDING!

That is all really exciting stuff. The pain is that I have a uni assignment due on Thursday so before I get through these 2 sleeps I need to try and finish this assignment, pack (twice - Easter Camp & Aus), make sure our youth are organised for EC, make sure church is organised for next two weeks, sort the cat and dog out, sort myself out lol and finalise what I need to take to Australia.

So I feel a little overloaded. I was reflecting yesterday afternoon with God and I asked for his help to complete all the tasks that are pressing for my attention.

So today instead of aiming for a good day, I'm having a God day. I am taking myself off for some serious one on one time with God. I need his input and presence more than anything else right now. I could probably manage to complete the 'tasks' on my own.....but they would lack something. So the most important thing for me right now, is the Father's blessing.

I have so much to do today that my priority must be to STOP and PRAY.

So I'm signing off...and heading out

(and I will try and blog regularly while I am in Australia)
