Just thinking ...

New leaders
1/20/2009 5:30:14 PM by: Elsi

It's a week full of changes in leadership. And since I am terrified of change, it's a hard time for me. First, and most obvious, of course, is our new president. I think the expectations set for him are impossible, and I'm praying he will be able to keep on his feet as he finds his balance and takes the reins of this out-of-control vehicle called the USA. Next, my church has a new pastor. We were introduced to him Sunday; he'll start in March, I believe. So I don't know him at all. For me, the issue is more, again, that I'm uncomfortable with change. And today we started Bible study with our new leadership team. We've been working together on the curriculum, but today was the first time the three of us led together. So it's just a good thing that the Lord is in control of all of this! My country, my church, my Bible study ... and my life—He's at the helm. Can't think of anyone better!
