And the juggling act begins...

Spring semester is now underway, and it didn't take long for me to remember how insanely hectic my life has become. I have hit a breaking point, and I truly believe that sometime soon something has got to give. What part of my life, however, I do not know.

The three main components of my daily life at this point are Christ, school, and work. School and work are obviously irremovable, so I suppose it's my ministry work that needs to be adjusted. My work in youth ministry has primarily been as a youth group coordinator, though with World Youth Day 2008 in our midst, I have taken on the responsibility as pilgrimage coordinator for that endeavor as well.

Please join me in prayer for the gift of prudence, as I try to determine what it is that God wants for me at this time.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church, of which I am a minister in accordance with God's stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God, the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones, to whom God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory.

It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me.

-Colossians 1:24-29
