Every year, about the middle of June, my sticky pad schedule takes a turn towards crazy. Teaching at West Kentucky Youth Camp every day (multiple weeks) from 8:30-11:30 (an hour drive either way), multiple VBS classes, song leading at the West Kentucky Summer Youth Series, speaking on Wednesday Night Summer Series at multiple congregations on top of Bible class and sermon preparation each week.
I don't tell you this to brag...I tell you this as a reason for my thinning hair, pudgier belly, and summer stress headaches. I have a hard time saying 'No' to any opportunity to teach the Gospel. I'm just glad that the elders at Union Hill understand the great profit these weeks (and absences) are for me. They make me study harder and longer. They give me more structured accountability when it comes to my time. Even though I could do without the stress (and I wish I had more time to work in the garden), these next few weeks are hopefully gonna be a blast...but I don't need to forget to "give to the Lord the thanks due to His righteousness."(Psalm 8:17) To God be the glory.
