We're going to be having a Dagara literacy conference starting tomorrow. One of the reasons I have been noticeably absent from the blogging realm is that I have been making preparations for it.
I have sent out invitations to 34 different Dagara villages. Already about 8 representatives from 3 of those villages have shown up a night early.
Tomorrow we will be doing an entrance exam and collecting class rosters for the distribution of materials. We will also learn how to play games to teach literacy. This should be vastly different from the typical Burkinabé classroom where fun and games have no place.
Anyway, those who pass the test and come with rosters ready will be entered into the training that will go until Friday morning.
I'm so excited. Everything I've been working for this year is culminating in this conference. All that to say, I will be extremely busy this week and if you're trying to send me an email or if you're waiting on an email response from me, you probably won't get anything until next week.
Also, my beautiful and talented wife, Andrea will be taking pictures of the conference that I hope to be posting back here over the next several days this week.
Do you ever get so busy that you're not even sure how you feel? And when you get that busy it's hard to think of anything to write. So that's why I'm writing this disorganized bit of updates. I'm excited, but I'm already tired and the conference hasn't even started.
The phrase keeps rolling around in my mind as I prepare for this thing, "let God be God." So that's what I'm trying to do with this conference. I'm not going to try to control the outcome, but I just want to be available to be used by Him for this conference however He sees fit.
Do you ever get so busy trying to "make things work" that letting "God be God" becomes difficult?
