A Time to Pray and a time to Plan

Jen and I will be taking some time this weekend to get away and just pray. As we process this semester that is ending, and look towards the spring, we want to give God space to shape and direct our future plans and directions.

We will thank God for the great things He has done, and pray for the students He has given us. We will also take big chunks of time to just listen, hoping for the freedom to let go of our plans and ideas so that the Holy Spirit can show us what steps to take next. We don't want Chi Alpha to become a stagnant set of meetings and programs, but we also don't want to change things just for the sake of change. Only God can get us outside of our limited perspectives, and truly lead us.

Then, next week, we will spend big chunks of time working through the schedule for next semester, and working with the students to find the right fit for them to exercise and grow in their gifts. It will be exciting, but potentially difficult.

I type all of this so that you can remember us in prayer as we seek God's plan for Chi Alpha New Orleans.

In the meantime, please remember the Tulane and Loyola students as they are in crunch time - finals start on Monday. UNO students finish tomorrow.
