Life Down Under

Our Crazy Life

It's a quiet evening here in our home - an unusual occurrence these days. Taylor is in bed, and Aaron is teaching a class for the internship that's open to the community. Nic went along, so I have the evening to myself. Funny how we had so many quiet evenings in Kansas City - and we took them all for granted. Here's our life the last few days:

Tuesday - Prayer room: 8am-noon. Class at our house: 2pm-4pm. Quiz night: 8pm-11pm.
Wednesday - Lost keys. Spent all day looking for them. Found them in the evening, then went to class.
Thursday - Prayer room: 8am-noon; lunch meeting: noon-3pm; make 2 batches of cookies with an intern, fix dinner, eat dinner, clean up dinner: 3pm-7pm. Evening class at our house: 7pm-11pm.
Friday - Prayer room: 8am-1pm; lunch meeting at our house: 1pm-3pm; quality time with Taylor, fix dinner, eat dinner, clean up dinner, put Taylor to bed: 3pm-8pm. Crash with a bowl of orange chocolate chip ice cream: present.

No wonder I'm tired. But my heart is alive. It's been another awesome week with the interns - we're amazed at what God has done in such a short time already. We had a guest speaker come through town the last couple days - a man named Dan Baker from CA. He really carried the Father heart of God for our interns and spoke virtually the same messege that we've been teaching these last two weeks, just in different words. He also carried some prophetic insight for the future, which seemed 'spot-on'. It was confirming and massively encouraging.

Then this weekend we have Bob Fraser and Bob Hartley in town for 24 hours. They'll be doing a Sunday night "Joseph Company" meeting with the business and community leaders from the city, and then have Monday morning with our interns. It will be so awesome to see our friends from home - I can hardly wait! My big job on the agenda for tomorrow is to brave the grocery store for the purpose of buying some yummy treats for 'hospitality baskets' to put in their hotel rooms. I'm looking forward to that little job - I love doing that kind of thing.

Needless to say, it's pretty full-on here. But I have to admit that even though the schedule is a bit intense, those hours in the prayer room each morning have been life to us. At the end of the day, that's what it's all really about, anyway.
