Well, our first attempt at the Christian Workers Conference is coming: Saturday. We spent this morning setting up the Vendor Hall and we'll spend late afternoon working to get the workshop areas ready to go. There's still a lot to do: programs, bag stuffing, last minute details. So far we've sold around 90 tickets, which is getting ever closer to our goal of 100. God is working here!
Tim and I had the chance to retreat a little this weekend. Tim spoke at First Christian Church in Garden City, then we stayed in a Bed and Breakfast there before heading back to northwest Kansas for a meeting and a Valentines Banquet.
It's a busy time, but we are relying on God to supply our needs and to help us do what we need to get done. We appreciate your prayers, now and throughout the year.

In His Hands
It's amazing how we'll hit periods of time where it feels like all we can do is keep up--get the basics done, keep checking things off the list, and then fall into bed exhausted every night. And then all of a sudden we realize that a snow day or two (or a week of being too sick to really do much) has somehow caught us up, and there's time again for blogging and homemade valentines and digging through the accumulated piles on the desk at work.
We're in one of those caught-up phases right now, and it feels like the calm before the storm, or maybe the eye of the storm, since life was swirling at a frantic pace just days ago, and promises to be again soon. We're about 3 weeks out from our Christian Workers Conference, the first BIG thing we've launched since our arrival here. So far we've sold close to 80 tickets (our goal was 100, so we still have a ways to go), lined up speakers and workshop leaders, and confirmed vendors. We're very excited about what God is doing through this event.
He is always reminding us that no matter how much effort we put into something, or even how little we actually do for something, if it is His will, the event will succeed in His way, His time. We can't make the work of God happen, or judge what will be measured as success. We just have to keep striving to please Him and to be faithful in what He asks us to do. He's got the rest taken care of, is holding it all in His hands.
