Busyness...

Does it sound weird to say that I get blessed by being busy? It may sound funny but it is the truth. From 25 February it has been non-stop. On 25-27 February we hosted a marriage retreat. During the retreat I got word that a Soldier had been shot (he is doing okay thank God, just some damage to his leg). So it was finish the retreat, get back, see him in the hospital. Then on Monday night a Soldier was involved in an accident on his motorcycle (he is currently in ICU, stable, but a long journey ahead of him). Then the whole week it was ministry to his wife and family, the rest of the Battalion, plan for the next retreat, family time, etc, etc, etc, host another family retreat this past weekend, and here we are now. For a few minutes I must reflect but only a few minutes because the work never stops. I feel blessed in all this busyness. All who may stumble upon this post, be sure to keep my Soldiers and their families in your prayers; particularly those recovering in the hospitals. Be sure to prya for me as well, that I will continue to press on despite the pressure to just sit down and do nothing. Blessings.
