My apologies for my lack of posts of late. My time management has been whacked for the last few months, and honestly my frame of mind has been a little off kelter too!
Things are busy around the Hulsizer place. Jessica & Jennifer finishing up the school year with finals, papers, programs, etc. (Congrats to Jessica for making it through the first year of UCA's School of Nursing with a great GPA!--I'm proud of you! Now GET A JOB! :) Jennifer still has a few weeks, but has been busy with Choir Follies, she'll be on a choir trip to Branson this weekend, and we're all getting used to her having a job (Arby's in Jacksonville).
Shelia is happy to be running again. She stays busy with her "Women Can Run" clinic in Cabot and their activities, plus her work at the school, praise team at church, etc.
I've tried to be faithful to spend an hour or two at the gym 4 or 5 nights a week which eats into my blogging time. So there is it...my excuses.
Kind of a strange weekend shaping up for me. Tomorrow I'm moving Jessica out of her place in Conway and into a mini-storage as she's living at home this summer. I have Lisa & Lee's wedding rehearsal Friday night and their wedding at 6 Saturday. What a blessing to be asked to officate a wedding for a kid from my old youth group!
As I write this I'm anticipating a phone call regarding the details of a funeral service for a elderly lady that had been a big part of my life at Faith the last 9 years or so, Flodene Henderson. I'll be doing her funeral whenever it is planned, so I'm trying to gather some thoughts there.
Also in the tunnel of my concentration is the Children's Ministry Retreat next weekend at which I will speak, and a Youth Camp this June at which I will serve as the Camp Pastor. Wonderful opportunities, I just need to really set aside some intense prep time.
Lots of things to keep us busy, lots of things to keep us distracted, and lots of things to try to keep us from keeping the best things in mind. I'm reminding myself of I Corinthians 15:58, Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Lord, help me not to be distracted from the best things, by good things, bad things or any other things. Father, guard my heart and protect my attitudes to always be found an able vessel.
Hoping a great day and a fresh sense of the presence of the Lord in each of your lives my friends. Carpe Diem!
