personal: in multiple situations, i am praying that i am able to discern between extending grace and speaking truth. finding the balance between the two can be like walking a tightrope. though in many situations it is more like finding the right mixture of both. i am also praying for sharp vision, humble leadership, God's wisdom, and encouragement i can trust. i am also hoping to lock up a few mentors, so i am praying they will work out and be a positive thing in moving me closer to being my original creation.

family: quality time. quantity time. lots of hugs. God has broken my heart several times latley as to the lack of time i have spend with my kids. with the kids at school all day, things are different. with jenn i think the honeymoon period of the empty house is over. i am praying that she can begin to find out who God has called her to be and where he has called her to be.

cession: discernment of teaching content. (see personal discerning of speaking grace and truth) purity for our students. apathy. we are seeing many new faces to cession. many students who want to find a place they can just "be". it is very cool. some of the "old cessioners" are slow to adapt to the new faces. also we have changed to meeting in homes which has gone great, but creates new challenges as well.
