Tired

I am really tired.  A few minutes ago I fell asleep on the couch.  I think I woke myself up snoring.  There is a lot going on right now.  I am preparing for three trips in the next three and a half months to countries whose primary language is not North Texan, which requires me to work through translators and or spend a great deal of time with Google Translate to get the materials I am taking in the appropriate language.  Secondly, my friends and family are concerned about the Ebola issues impact on my itinerary.  Third, I am still in recovery from rotator cuff surgery – which I heartily recommend especially if you are into pain.

As a result of all the above, and especially the last, I am behind.  I am behind in preparation for the four main Bible studies of which I am a part, I am behind in translating some of the material for the first two trips, and I am probably behind in some things I have forgotten about.

It is going to be interesting and exhilarating three and a half months.

I am learning through this just how weak I am.  Just how dependent on the Lord and the Body of Christ I am.  I glory in 2 Corinthians 12:9 – 10.  I crave the prayer of the Body, Colossians 4:4.  I am learning to rest in Luke 17:9 – 10.
