There is little more satisfying than a job well done. Finishing a day of hard work makes me feel like I’ve earned an evening of rest. Conversely, there’s not much worse than an impending deadline to take the joy out of relaxing. The knowledge of homework due on Monday has plagued many a weekend during my school days.
School is over, and I have enjoyed the freedom that graduation brings. But that same feeling that I’ve left something unfinished has returned. Each evening, there is the tension of relaxing after a good days work, and the need to contact people and churches to find ministry partners. There’s only one thing to do…
Next week is my last week on the job! Instead of finding underground utilities, I will be able to put that energy into locating ministry partners. Instead of splitting attention between two areas of life, my attention can be focused on attaining one goal: On to Brazil!
