One Of Those Weeks

It's been a long week. My supervisor and most of our staff and volunteers have been away. This has left me to handle everything basically on my own. It's been a very full week even by our standards, let alone to be missing most of your support team. From counseling appointments, to conflict resolution, to crisis management I feel stretched thin.

The week culminated in a phone call I got Saturday night/Sunday morning. Actually my phone rang twice--once at 2:18 am (which I missed because I was asleep) and then again at 2:30 am. Another youth in crisis, another sleepless night. I can't get into the details but our team could use your prayers, as could this young man.

It's weeks like this that I am most aware of my human weakness. I can't do this without you. Thanks for you prayers and support!
