A day in the life of an australian corps officer

Today can't be described as an every week Tuesday but it has certainly been interesting. We are currently having a Planned Giving survey. Last night our corps council met to vote on whether we would ask the Public Relations Department to conduct a new program or not. Thank God they chose to vote yes. Otherwise , yours truly would have spent today planning months of extra work. Instead I only had to make one telephone call and sit in on a meeting with the great soldier who is going to chair the program. After the corps council meeting I was able to spend an encouraging 20 minutes with 2 of my local officers about Sunday School. God is bringing his plan about for this section. There are great opportunities opening up. Home to bed but I didn't sleep well and woke up way too early.

Off to the office to check the answering machine and emails and spend time with God. Then Jennifer arrived and we were able to do some administrative type work before the people for the Planned Giving meeting arrived. Made my phone call and received a positive response. God is good!!!

Then it was time to go to the local Primary school for our Kid's Hope mentoring session. This is a great program that a few of our corps folk are engaged in. Today I spent time with a grade 1 boy drawing pictures about the seasons. http://www.worldvision.com.au/getinvolved/kha/ will give you an idea of this great incarnational ministry.

Home for lunch and more admin. A quick trip to DHQ to arrange some financial business and then time to pick Catherine up from school. Home for a coffee and getting ready for Songster and Band Practice tonight.

Only God knows what He has in store for tonight.

It's it amazing busy out days can get, now if only God had made an extra day, mind you, that would have been filled in with another programme, oh well - onwards and upwards.
