my recent life has now been a rollercoaster. it used to be a train...a train of constant busyness and inconsistent help in my ministry. but i finished this season with a bang...a wonderful fundraising banquet with lots of moral support and encouragement. plus, after this my two other staff were finally around consistently. sweetums.
but...the tide began to turn, as more recently massive issues came knocking on my door; such as severe alcoholism, suicide attempts, and throat slashings.
no overstatement.
no joke.
i've felt a bit of apathy towards seeking God creeping in, but these kinds of things are really addressing the apathy. if you could pray for me in these situations, that'd be swell. oh, and in all of this my support network of volunteers has dropped like flies...mostly from exams and the flu. this is all in the last week.
and then again...on the other side of things, i just got back from four days of taking care of my friend's place out in the country. it was beautiful and solitary, only me and many animals. the dogs are skeptical of new blood...but they came around and we had a blast. and the horses...just amazing. especially on a crisp winter morning with horfrost all around.
and...today we had a yfc amatuer photo shoot, and though eric was sick we still had a hoot! what a strange rollercoaster.
yes...we do need prayer :)
