Pencil Sketch

When I was learning to write, I was schooled in shaping my letters in pencil and the once the pencil version was completed, I learned to go over it in ink - making the alterable unalterable, the temporary permanent.
That method largely describes much of my life - there is much that is provisional and therefore has great flexibility to alteration, much that is sketched in pencil which can be adjusted, erased or made more definite and settled - what I call "pencil living". Ideas, possibilities, plans are written in pencil so that the Spirit can have free reign in adjusting and re-writing them as the Father desires.
Pastor Cesar has drawn up a pencil sketch of our programme, however I suspect it will be, and needs to be flexible as we enter into all that God wants to do, accomplish and shape, in us and through us during this trip.
Here is the pencil sketch:
10th-11th Oct            Hotel
12th Oct                      Thanksgiving service (Morning ) - both speaking
13th-14th Oct            Hotel
15th Oct                      United churches fellowship (semi conference morning one session)
16th Oct                      Sunday morning worship
17th-18th                   Visiting churches.               
19th Oct                     Hotel
20th Oct                     Pastors and church leaders conference 
                                    (for 20 people only for 2 hours from 10am to 12noon with lunch)
21th Oct                     Hotel
22th Oct                     Youth conference ( only one session in the morning)
23th Oct                     Sunday morning worship
24th Oct                     Departure (Byeeeeeee)

In this midst of this pencil sketch, the Lord will fill in shadows and highlights in conversations, prayer, sights, sounds, food, good and bad experiences. The result will be a picture made certain, inked over and thoroughly pleasing to the Lord.


P.S. I get a daily delivery to my inbox from http://www.moravian.org/daily_texts/ and this is today's offering. Interesting......

"Abraham's servant remained silent so as to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. Genesis 24:21 (NKJV)
During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them. Acts 16:9-10
As your still small voice calls us to your ministry, Lord, open our ears
to hear and guide us to the places that we are needed to do your work.
Restore in our church the zeal to spread your word to the farthest
corners of the earth for your honor and glory. Amen."
