(This post is late... was falling asleep last night trying to post..)
The morning started early trying to make a french toast casserole for the kids who are here, trying to get dressed and out the door. The drama team and I ran out the door after a quick breakfast to the Sharon SDA Church where we were supposed to have SS for Juniors-Youth. We then were invited to stay for a luncheon, then we went to a nursing home with the youth department, followed by a quick practice and then a vespers program where we did everything. After the vespers we provided pizza for everyone and it doubled as a birthday party for the assistant Pastors daughter. Then home where we set up the living room with the projection unit and we watched a movie. It was a terribly long and incredibly busy day.
At one point in our very short practice everyone started getting cranky. People were snapping at each other, I was grumpy and it was not going well. After a few minutes of high stress I told everyone that were going to stop and have prayer. After prayer and asking for peace, and for God to come and be part of the process, things went much better!
I was very simply reminded how important it is to continually communicate with God. He wants to have a relationship with us were we talk with him, express our love to him and ask for his presence. We had been very busy serving, very busy, busy, busy, but we had not just stopped and spent time communicating with the reason we were serving.
