Truckin' Through Roadblocks... as a Team

#62
Our dear fellow UH staff member Ed got really sick a few days ago- bad fever, up to like 104- and coughing up brown gunk and everything... so he went to the hospital today and the docs diagnosed it as some sort of nasty infection. So they lowered his fever and he's on meds and resting at home. Thank God he's ok.

But this made for a crazy day of ministry today. Thursdays are our Weekly Gathering days, and Ed is in charge of driving all of the equipment over to campus, unloading it, setting it up, coaching/helping lead worship, tearing it all down, loading it back into his car, and taking it back to storage. With Ed gone, it was a day of true teamwork as the rest of us all pitched in to make today work. By the grace of God, it all happened beautifully. It was a weird day though- from beginning to end, there were little hiccups and glitches that really seemed like the enemy trying to push us into discouragement, and we got close to discouragement/frustration/anxiety/freakout/etc a few times, but the Lord led us through the whole day in joy and faith! Glory be to God our caring Father.
