Discombobulated
This morning I'm a little discombobulated. Slept like a rock, but can't seem to get going. Forgot my journal at the office and now my quiet time is a little off, like it's not quite finished.
This week Has been a busy, but very productive. And if things keep going the way they are it will be a very, very productive week. It seems that my role as administrator at Greater Gresham moved to the forefront this week. Friday & Saturday we lost water pressure at the church. Not completely, but enough that when we started flushing toilets and making coffee that was all she wrote. Saturday night I kept trying to picture people running to the trees on the back of the property or their face when they realized there wasn't any water to flush the commode. Got that figured out Saturday night. . .turned out it was an easy fix. WHEW!
On a totally unrelated note, our compressor that keeps our sprinkler system charged also went out. I kept waiting for the pressure to drop enough to trigger the alarm. Can you imagine Keith's face when right in the middle of his message the fire alarm kicks in? Or the preschoolers? Or MINE?!!!! Fortunately nothing happened, everything worked like it was supposed to and the system remained charged and we were able to get it replaced on Tuesday, thanks to a lot of different people going out their way to help.
We also were able to order some replacement lights for the worship center and are on scheduled to be installed today. Then a couple of doors needed some attention and that got checked off the list.
All this in this middle of weekly meetings, hanging out with ABF leaders, and laughing with the staff and taking care of other admin-type of stuff. I couldn't have done it without God's help. As I was working through all the situations, I kept seeing the hand of God working around me - people being where I needed them to be, people changing schedules, people just showing up to help. Thanks God.
I also couldn't have done it without a lot of people pitching in and doing their part - people like Cecil, Pasha, Cindy, Jo-Anne, Debbie, Debbi, Big John, Steve, Marlon, Keith, and the rest of the staff. Thanks guys.
Oh by the way, in case you didn't know. . .I LOVE THIS JOB AND I LOVE THIS STAFF!
