Random Ramblings

Welcome back! I got an email from someone commenting on me disappearing from the face of the earth… well, the email wasn’t that far off.

I spent last week helping out at the women’s conference where I took on the same role as I did for Hillsong Conference last July. We had somewhere around 14,000 women out this year (my guess only) and as every time before, it impacted many lives. I had a couple of interesting situations; like two women who tried to convince me that I should let one of their friends into the resource center when it was closed – they used the argument that she was pregnant and I had no idea what it’s like to be pregnant (REALLY??? What gave that away? I’m sure it wasn’t the facial hair J) All in all, it was a good week. I struggled a bit with the physical side of things because my knee has not yet fully recovered from surgery in October and spending 14 hours a day on my feet while walking 20km on a concrete floor can be hard on a bad knee. One day was enough that I couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs without using the handrail to support my weight; but that too is settling back into recovery mode again. A few weeks ago, I thought my girlfriend might make the trip to conference, but she couldn’t get enough time away and I was going to be really busy so we wouldn’t see each other much anyways so we decided to wait for now. So after a busy week, I now have two days off to recuperate and clean house before starting back to classes on Wednesday. My connect group meets again tonight so I also need to get a study ready for that…and so goes the life of Larry.

Before I leave you again, I’ll just mention one more thing. I have some big decisions to make in the next couple of months. I’ve been asked to take on a much larger leadership role within one age group here at church but some of that leadership depends on me staying here for another year. So I have an incredible opportunity here in Australia for another year, but I know great things await me at home in Canada as well. Please pray for wisdom in the decisions I need to make.
