an annointing

At the end of this wonderful weekend, this lovely Sunday, I am feeling the need for a fresh annointing.....of time-management.  I trust the Lord to provide me with exactly enough minutes in the day to accomplish all I need to....but I don't trust myself.  I don't always manage my time well.  Granted, I'm a bit distracted much of the time, by kids, the puppy, cardinals in the back yard, a good song on Pandora, my friend Sarah in India popping onto facebook for a chat.....but seriously.  I need some serious time-management.  I have 10 days until I get on the plane for my 2 weeks in India. 

I have some specific things to get done at work, and I want time to cover all my bases at home, and to prepare for India.  My friend prayed today that God would prepare me even while I sleep.....efficient.  I like it.  Lord, prepare me while I sleep, to go to this land that is so interesting and rich in history and complex.  Help me to be the salt and light of Jesus there, for the believers at SCH and for the unbelievers we will encounter all along the journey.  Help me to do good work and accomplish helpful tasks and bless everyone I can.  Show me, God, just show me.  Reveal yourself to me.  Teach me things and equip me to be your hands and feet. 

Annoint my family with fresh wisdom and revelation of your heart, God, of your desire for us, of your love for hurting children.  Let them partner with me, from home, and to grow right along with me as I travel around the world and back again.  I already can't wait to come home again, and I have not yet left.
