Say a little prayer for me...

Heading out to our annual regional staff conference this weekend. I always have mixed emotions about the conference. It's a fun time of connecting with staff from around the region, but it's also easy to feel somewhat lost in the mix. Everyone seems to know everyone and has all these close friends to be around, except for you. Walking into the meal times is like walking into the cafeteria as a sixth grader all over again.

But my real concern as we head into the conference is that this retreat usually marks the end of the semester. After we get back, it's Thanksgiving break...then one or two more weeks with students, then they get lost in the mix of their finals. So essentially we only have 2 weeks left with students before the Christmas break...and with the planning of the Epic Conference still very much unsettled, and the number of students that might come is very unknown, I'm very VERY overwhelmed as the conference direcctor.

It's hard to capture how overwhelmed I am, but to give you a taste...the epic conference is less than 2 months away, and I've yet to secure a speaker. SO, please pray for me when you remember. I can't do this on my own.
