It seems really hard to have both a restful/peaceful heart and yet still have a goal-oriented/visionary mind. Today, a couple from singapore came to give a mini workshop on "Project Management" for a group of the student leaders. It is really cool seeing the students vision and plan for the church's future and upcoming house church plants.
As I listened, I visioned along with them: 1) How can we (non-khmer people) help partner with the cambodian church? 2) What are my own goals and hopes for my upcoming six (?) years of grad school? It was certainly exciting (I think I actually have a natural tendency for visioning and planning... I do it even when I probably shouldn't), but as I brainstormed, I could feel a whisper of my old weariness/burden creep up on me as we thought about milestones and scheduling.
God, teach me how to live in the freedom you have given us!
