osodecanelaWe leave for Yearly Meeting this coming Sunday, three children ages 14, 5 and 4 in tow. We'll drive to Santa Barbara Sunday night and on to Redlands the following morning. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the week will be trouble free. However, the realist within me is staring the down the person of faith.
The girls are good kids, and they're much looking forward to this time away from home and the chance to be with other Quaker kids. This will be Rose's 5th PYM, Joyce's 3rd and April's 1st. We will have our hands full.
I've been holding my hand to my forehead, and a praying for both patience and support. I agreed to clerk a worship fellowship group again this year, generally a very nurturing task, though it will consume time I may not have to spare. What I'm worried most about is our combined task for Nominating; this marks my 2nd year of service on that committee. We're already short one member since last year; another is unable to attend this year's gathering due to health reasons, leaving us two short to get our work done. I'm anxious with all that remains unfinished, and am worried there will not be enough hands to tend to it all. I know not who'll continue with our committee in the year to come. My uncertainty is keeping me from sufficient sleep, and with the three girls with us, that's already a commodity guaranteed to be in short supply.
Please hold me in the Light my friends. I'll likely need it.
