Happy Labor Day

Yesterday was Labor day here. The phone woke me up. It was my family. My whole family on speaker phone. They were celebrating my parents 55th wedding anniversary. My nephew Chad's 32nd birthday and my nephew Andrew's 12th birthday. It was good to hear from them. The day before I was so sad because I wasn't going to be there with them.

Believe it or not it was relatively quiet on campus. There are no classes on Monday until 2:30pm. They had all their classes even though most of the staff had off. It was the first day in awhile that I didn't feel pulled in 1000 directions at once. I believe this was answer to prayer.

At the staff prayer meeting on Sunday night - I was feeling overwhelmed and homesick and I could not stop the steady stream of tears from rolling down my cheeks. They prayed for especially for the deans - me and Hiob - because although most of the staff all leave campus at the end of the day - we are still here and are not often "off duty". I also spent quite a bit of time in prayer on Sunday as well..... I thank God for listening and blessing me with a great day.
