Throwing off my Groove!

Conference week began this week. Kids get half days everyday (except Monday). Well there goes my new found groove (schedule). Today was my one of "workdays", well I slept longer than I should have and then i had to go to conferences and doctor appointment later. All my kids are home, wanting to eat lunch even though they should have had lunch at school. Not wanting me to be "working". Arrgh. Tomorrow I should stay up after the kids leave to give me some time to work before they come home. Next week might be intersting with them all at "cousin camp" until Wednesday! Jorge has made some plans for Monday. But Tuesday and Wednesday should be pretty quiet. Hmmm. Shopping???

The Lord kept waking me up last night. Holly and I are "tag team preaching" on Sunday (this was decided on Sunday). We are having fun with the idea. She came over last night and we were talking about our initial reactions to the idea. It was fun to know we were thinking much the same thoughts. We are to talk about Elijah and Elisha and their mentoring relationship. We decided this is very ideal for where we are right now in our relationship. Specificaly we are to talk about "passing the baton". Where Elijah goes off to heaven and Elisha is left to continue the work. Ironically, I feel like we have been fumbling with the baton. We have been finding ourselves having different issues with our new roles and defining appropriate parameters to suit chain of commmand, but also the freedom for the roles given to us. Anyhow, so we get to research this and become better examples of this (passing the baton) in the process. We have walked together for a number of years now - so we are kind of like Elijah and Elisha in some ways - which is why we were chosen for this topic.

Anyhow, I was trying to sleep and the lord would bring to mind something on topic and an experience Holly and I shared relating. So I'd get up and write it down. Then I'd go back to sleep, just to be waken up again, and again, and again. I'm not sure how it's all going to come together and if God intends for me to use each thing or was just bringing to mind possibilities. So I slept longer than I'd been, but it was ok, because I already have somethings down. Also a nice side note, on the kids side - we did a lesson on Elijah and Elisha last september. I think a lot of the stuff can be used again and the kids will still have fun. So it makes my planning a bit easier, too.
