Tonight we have the opening dinner for a new school. Each semester always brings an amount of excited energy for me, because each one is so unique. I can never really imagine what the students are going to be like beforehand, nor how I personally am going to grow and be stretched.
We had staff meetings, and a lot of cleaning last week. I have three jobs as staff this year: accounting, worship, and pastoring girls (I'm one of three pastors). I also get to teach one day the first week of the school on Intercession. It has been amazingly affirming to see the staff help me developed my giftings. Although learning accounting has been like learning a new language all over again, there are so many words that weren't in my Spanish vocabulary before.
Today was my frist day back at my church, which I really enjoyed besides getting hit on! Some 40ish-year-old guy sat next to me, asked broad questions to find out if I was married to Jorge or not (Jorge and I go to the same church. He is our base director, much older than me, and a quiet, respectful kind of personality in public... who could mistake him for my husband?). Right before the end of the service he asked me for a piece of paper, and of course I gave it to him trying to be nice, not knowing he wanted it to write his phone number down for me and the best time to call him. So ladies: always watch out for the desperate middle-aged men that show up at your church, and don't sit alone!
As always, please pray for the process the new students are just starting. And please pray for wisdom, unity, and integrity among the staff. Happy New Semester!
