Sunday School
May 24, 2004
Had our last day of Sunday School this past Sunday. Didn’t feel like trying to just sit around and do another boring lesson that my kids wouldn’t be into…so we went to breakfast. I love these kids (even when they flip me off). Definitely going to miss them come a week when I drive home to Chehalis, WA for the summer. This week is just crazy busy, getting ready to leave, figuring out loans and other crap for Princeton and just trying to finish well. Prayers for peace, patience and hupomone (patient endurance) would be appreciated (coveted).

i’ll send you off with the words my friend toph gave me as i was leaving the uk a month ago. ‘finish up passionately and leave them wanting more of christ.’

sorry, adam. posting my last comment was insensitive to your circumstances this week. this prayer meant a lot to me as I left my student ministry (from a liturgy in honor of St. Brendan):
Lord, I will trust You,
help me to journey beyond the familiar
and into the unknown.
Give me the faith to leave the old ways
and break fresh ground with You.
Christ of the mysteries, can I trust You
to be stronger than each storm in me?
Do I still yearn for Your glory to lighten on me?
I will show others the care You’ve given me.
I determine amidst all uncertainty
always to trust.
I choose to live beyond regret,
and let You recreate my life.
I believe You will make a way for me
and provide for me,
if only I trust You and obey.
I will trust in the darkness and know
that my times are still in Your hand.
I will believe You for my future,
chapter by chapter, until all the story is written.
Focus my mind and my heart upon You,
my attention always on You without alteration.
Strengthen me with Your blessing
and appoint to me the task.
Teach me to live with eternity in view.
Tune my spirit to the music of heaven.
Feed me,
and, somehow,
make my obedience count for You.
