A prayer for the second half

At this time last summer, I still had one more week before all of my sites were even up and running. Tomorrow, my sites will wrap up their second, third, or fourth week of programming, and I am proud to say that they are all doing quite well. That means that my role is changing. No longer am I coaching and critiquing; now I get to turn my attention to supporting, encouraging, listening, affirming. I love this part of my job, even though the lack of structure and clear direction can be daunting.

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Matthew 24:45-46

LORD, you have set me over this precious sixteen-person household. Equip me to be a faithful and wise servant, giving these beautiful sons and daughters of yours their food at the proper time. May they be nourished by your word, your spirit, and your glory displayed in their participants, their communities, and their teammates.
