My time "on the wall"
My schedule (and a ton of other people's) is about to change, a lot. I mean, I'll still be getting up ridiculously early and all that, but the nature of what I'll be doing is shifting. I think that this has been my favorite schedule yet, in terms of how it flows throughout the day. I've gone to bed nearly every night looking forward to what I get to do the next day. (sometimes I'm not so enthusiastic a few hours later at 4:45am, but we won't get into that right now). I'm excited about the chance to serve in different areas and hear new teams, but it's still somewhat sad. I don't know if it's good to have favorites, but...right now, for instance...
- The Sunday 8am: the prayer room is delightfully empty, the music's nice and laid back, perfect for think-praying...I know this sounds odd, but most of my more profound blog material comes out of whatever I'm meditating on during this set. Plus it's cool to have two hours in the prayer room before heading to FCF...
- Sunday 4pm: One of my favorite intercessions. I do powerpoint for this one. It's good because it keeps me from wasting away those lazy Sunday afternoons...
- Monday 6am & 8am: My only real, full day on prayer team. I powerpoint the 6am, which is great because I actually engage better doing that than I do just being in the room. And the 8am has long been one of my favorites...back when Rose used to prayer lead it was my absolute favorite PR time every week. It's kind of a crunch with school, but it's awesome to go into the day with four solid hours of prayer and study behind you.
- Tuesday 6am: For some reason I'm always unusually sleepy during this set. Every week without fail I yawn a crazy amount of times, and almost fall asleep somewhere in there. And that forces me to get up and pace and pray in tongues till I'm half awake again, which isn't a bad thing at all.
- Tuesday 4pm & 6pm: To be honest, I don't like going to the 4pm. I just do it because I have to. Hopefully that'll change someday, but for now I'm not wild about it. When I subbed a couple weeks on powerpoint for that set, things improved a lot-- I was way more engaged. I'm starting to wonder if my spot in the corner just isn't the place to be for an intercession...The 6pm is by far the highlight of my Tuesday. When I switched from evenings to mornings I begged Matt and Cory to let me keep one set with them, and I'm so glad I did.
- Thursday 6am: Another powerpoint set with Grace and Justin. I love this one because it's like a miniature devo for the first half-hour. There's hardly anyone in the room anyway, so Justin just sort of launches...I love it. This team has really grown on me and I'll be sad when they disband.
- Saturday 8am: No really, this one's my favorite. I'm a sucker for solo devo's and obviously since there's no school on Saturdays, I don't feel so pushed for time. Sometimes I come early to catch Ron's set (another good one) or stay late for the 10am. This set won't change with the new schedule, thankfully.

Can I tell you that you know that prayer room and the deal better than some of the section leaders, I think! :) I love you!
