I am thankful for the priority our staff puts on personal spiritual life. On the 5th Tuesday of the month we are told to take a spiritual retreat day.<\/p>\n
I spent half my day at home reading and half my day at my favorite retreat place – Mariners church in Irvine. There is hardly anyone there on a weekday, but a few people to keep it from feeling deserted.<\/p>\n
I am inspired by my daughter to keep my brain active by memorizing verses, starting with John 14. You can’t go wrong memorizing the words of Jesus. And it’s a little easier because I already know parts of it.<\/p>\n
So far I am really enjoying the process, taking the time to read it over and over, forcing me to meditate on the meaning. I decided I am not going to pressure myself to get every single word in the right order.\u00a0In the past I gave up memorizing because I got tired of getting every single article in the right place.\u00a0\u00a0This time I will not keep going back to get it exactly right. A few words wrong here and there is acceptable margin of error.<\/p>\n

So thankful for the team serving together on Saturday’s children’s outreach. Their attention to detail is beyond my imagination.<\/p>\n
I’ve planned many VBSs in my lifetime. I was younger, more energy, had more bandwidth to attend to the details. But even then, I didn’t do that well with details. I always did the big picture planning. Now I just hate too much detail; makes me confused and anxious, leading to poor decision making.<\/p>\n
I am true to my ENFP MB type – “Under great stress, ENFPs may become overwhelmed by detail and lose their normal perspective and sense of options.”<\/p>\n
But I get the job done, all by God’s grace. And isn’t that just how life is? In our weakness He is strong.<\/p>\n
