Alright!  Sara and I are gone for the weekend.  We'll be speaking to new people, new churches and new pastors about our passion and plans for Thailand.  I sometimes find it difficult to balance the "here and now" with the "someday soon."  God has given us this great passion and desire to serve in Thailand, and truly trust His guiding us back there soon.  At the same time, I sat at a computer all day working in After Effects, I'm invested in the church I currently work in, and I'm in the middle of a complete overhaul of our children and family ministries (which will take place this Summer).  I'm excited about all of these things.  From Thailand, to After Effects, to Family Ministry.  But, how can one balance it all?

We have this great opportunity this weekend to get away and talk to new people about what "fills us up" more than anythings else...serving in Thailand.  Thus, we are taking it.  At the same time, it was a total pain to plan out the usual Sunday morning with our not being there.  And, seemingly, it may only get worse.  As we get closer and closer to returning to Thailand,  the tension from trying to be in two places, and roles, at once sky-rockets. 

God, give us a peace about where you have currently called us and help us to finish strong in our roles at this church.  At the same time, give us also a peace about where you are taking us in the not-too-distant future.  And in all things guide our steps...
