Getting Down to Business

I’ve been blogging a lot about my day-to-day experiences, cultural observations and things along those lines. I guess I tend to write about those things because I FEEL those things quite strongly. But, please don’t take that to mean that I’ve not been doing any work. Heheheh. :)

I’ve been getting into the swing of things at the office, figuring out my role and my responsibilities, and getting started on some work projects.

Next week should be a pretty exciting week. I’m excited about it and incredibly nervous as well.

Our team will host a colleague from the Asia area. He is in charge of a team of people who work to expand the Church’s vision for missions and get people personally involved. During our week together we hope to develop a logo for this group, train and equip them with the knowledge and resources to create their own effective media materials, hopefully work together to create a few of the pieces while we’re together during the week, AND work on a plan together for the future.

I think about what this team is doing. I think about their heart. I think about their vision. I think about the unbelievable challenges they face – daily. I can’t believe that I get this incredibly awesome opportunity to work together with them on things like this. Humbling.

It is my hope and my prayer that I can contribute much value to their efforts through our time together next week and in the future. I worry that I’m out of my league. I worry that the time would be wasted. I worry.

Pray that I would not worry. Pray that I would be prepared.
And mostly pray that our time would be inspired and directed by Him.
