Well, God is throwing me a curve right now. Make that a lot of curves. First off, It's been 6 months and I've only been able to raise $900 towards my CMI fund. I guess I thought it would be higher by now. Anyway, that leaves me with $4000 to raise in the next 6 months. Lots of time to be faithful and continue on.
Second, there's been some progress on the whole "Stained Glass Door" topic. A bunch of times popped up where it seemed like God was saying, "Open it." but He wasn't. Maybe it was a test to see if I would rely on Him completely for the right timing. And then there was some analogies I posted in my gmail status, and one of my friends started talking to me about it, not noticing that the analogy was about them. It is so very hard to discuss a secret with the person the secret is about.
Third, (though maybe it should be fourth) my teaching team at my church has been cut in half. At my church, we usually have two teaching groups for each class. The schedule then rotates per week depending on whose teaching. What this means is: on week 1 Team A teaches, week 2 Team B teaches, week 3 Team A teaches etc. However, the couple that was teaching as part of "Team B" had to step down for reasons unknown to me and now I'm teaching every week. Not that I don't like the idea, it fits perfectly with what I'm doing with CEF clubs, but it makes life a little more hectic. As well, my team of helpers (my family) only helps out every other week (So they would be Team A helpers). The helpers from Team B are still there for Team B weeks, but I still have an open spot to fill, since we only have 3 out of 4 helpers. I have a friend who loves working with kids, and she said she wanted to help, but currently whether she will help or not is up in the air.
It may not seem like much, but the amount of thought that goes into everything I just mentioned is really huge. But of course, God is in control and never ceases to show me where to go. Hopefully, my enormous amount of thinking doesn't block out God's attempts to show me His will.
