Spent Thursday at the Academy working on many different projects and thankfully none necessitated the use of electricity since it was out most of the day. But first here’s a picture of a few students on break:
Now, a few of the projects included:
- Pen pal letters handed out
- Have the kids write their sponsors
- Coordinating schedules with Stella (head mistress/principal) for our group visitors in July
- Working on a meal plan for above mentioned visitors
- Updating database for borders here at Nice View
- Collecting a stack of books for Stella to have in her office for Class 8 students to check out (like a real library!)
- Beginning stages of a fundraiser (it’s coming!) for the construction process of TVCH – True Vine Children’s Home
And for me that entails many lists –
I like lists – making them, reading them, organizing them. They look nice and neat and help me feel purposeful. Even with a stack of lists I don’t get them confused and love checking off items on said lists.
I wonder if Jesus ever had a to-do list?
- heal a leper
- make the blind see
- love the unlovable
Seems my to-do list is a bit less “spiritual” but as a friend said recently, “God is in the paperwork”. I’m really starting to understand that and to see my strengths may not be in the arts & craft-sit with the kids and read-sort of activities, but more in the paperwork of behind the scenes and I’m perfectly happy sitting with God amidst my lists 🙂
