What a crazy weekend! TMP's biggest fund raiser event of the year (Spoken) was this weekend and has consumed the bulk of everyone's time in the office for early a month now.
On Friday I arrived at the office at 8am and did not leave until after 6:30pm. Saturday I was up and going at 7:30am, and after a hard days work, a trip to the airport, and a staff dinner I was in bed around 11:45pm. And then, the longest day of them all, Sunday I was at Capital Plaza Hotel loading in our tech equipment at 6:15am and spent the whole day setting up, taking care of the leaders and out of town guests, and then tearing down and transporting all our equipment. I finally found myself in bed around 1am. Then I spent Monday morning unloading our equipment back into the TMP office.
Needless to say, I am exhausted from a long weekend. Even though I cannot ever remember being this tired, I am overwhelmed by a peace that my labor is not in vain. Seeing the faces of children and hearing the stories of the families who are still working and dying on these trash dumps has reminded me of my purpose as a part of the ministry of Trash Mountain Project. I am blessed and honored to be working with a ministry of such integrity and calling.
This weekend was productive, donations are still coming in from Spoken, and we are excited to see how God used our words to call people to think globally, and how they will respond to the need they have heard about at the event.
I have been going through Matthew lately and the beatitudes at the beginning of the sermon on the mount are a great reminder of the promise God has for those who recognize their need for him. I am praying that God would always keep me humbled, and that I would wake up each day reminded of how much I need Jesus.
Things to be praying for:
Wisdom as I begin to think about what to do after my internship.
A hunger for the Word of God daily.
Humility, patience, and self control.
