Psalm 13 5-6
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me.
Psalm 16 8
8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Good reminders today to trust God, stay focused on him and be openly thankful to him for how good he has been to me and the confidence and safety he provides me.
I have been given a great opportunity at work. I will be taking a month away from my job working for John Deere and placed in Thailand for all of May to work with about 9 other John Deere employees to help a local non-government not for profit entity with a project TBD. Its a leadership development program, I feel very fortunate to be selected--God has been good to me. I'm not looking forward to being gone from my family for a month but hopeful the time will go by quickly. I am hoping to use this time to grow not only in my ability to lead at work but to get closer to God. I'll need your prayers when I depart on this trip.

WOW!!!
ReplyDeletethat's a big deal!
what's the timing look like?
I did that 13ish years ago in China for 3 months, but that was pre-kids. It was really tough, but ultimately I wouldn't trade the experience or the perspective it provided, for anything.
I'm proud of you!
I'll start putting the prayers in the system now, but let me know what the schedule is. The good thing about the blog, is that you can do it from anywhere....
I've been slackin a little lately. We have the autoshow going on right now, and its definitely picked up the activity at work by 10 fold.
I'll be back on track this week.
we had a 3 day weekend here, so i did do some reading but no posting. I dont have many details on the trip yet but I'll let you know when I do. I think a leave May 1 and return May 31st. it should be a pretty good experience. and yes I will plan to be on the blog as much as possible
