Lots of Meetings

Last week and this week have been filled with lots of meetings for me in my work with Habitat for Humanity. Several of these meetings have been really good and exciting for me to attending. I especially enjoy the meetings I have with our Partner Families. I had one of those today and it was a delight to spend time with this Partner Family and to get to know them better. While I do wish that the church where we met for today's meeting would have had air conditioning, I was still grateful for the opportunity to be with this Partner Family.
At the same time, all of these meetings in and out of the office have meant that the stack of paperwork on my desk is a mile high. I have some new applications to process. I also have some other applications to review to see if they will move forward in the process. In addition, I need to work on some family recruitment things that really need to get done. So, I stayed late tonight at the office to try to get some paperwork done but didn't seem to get very far.
I know. I'm whining. I guess I'm just tired and need to go to bed. I am grateful for all of these meetings and all of the applications that are coming in. I am also grateful to have a job that I love that allows me to make a difference in the lives of families living in poverty. So, I guess I am tired and feel overwhelmed but deep down I am know that I am blessed to have this wonderful opportunity to serve God and people.
Thanks for listening to my whining and thanks for being a part of my journey!
