Overwhelmed...(& stressed)

I just came back from dinner with Charles and Nic, where we talked about BB stuff. (Well, the title says it all.) In summary, I believe God has called me to serve in BB for a reason, and He allowed me to go through 9 years as a boy & 1+ years as a TO to prepare me for the OIC role that he has given me this year. As Charles told me earlier, the difference between the role of an OIC and that of a TO is very great. There is just so much to do (calling the boys, home visitations, planning parade, CE program, prayer), and I sometimes wonder how the other OICs cope. I hardly know the boys well enough at this stage (oops, confession time), but yet these are the boys that God has given me to be reach out to, to care for, to pray for and to be accountable for. I have much to learn as He has much to teach me.

Now I can't sleep, so I'm starting to plan for the Year 1 CE program for the parade on 16 Feb.

I can't do this without you, Lord. Teach me to depend on You.
