Warehouse work project

In 9 days we will have almost 4,000 volunteers work with us at the warehouse. This is a huge change from the 8 full and part-time staff that normally run the place. On the first day it felt a little like having every family member from every part of the world come to your house and you have to feed, house, and show them how your world works. Wow! Overwhelming.

It has been going well. Two and a half days to go. Then a couple of days of clean up. Next week, it will be very quiet going back to 8. Very, very quiet. But I am ready. A little tired.

I will post the stats here soon. For now, I just have a moment to jot a few notes.

The theme this year seems to be God usues "me." And "me" is really me--but also every person who walked in the door. And we all fit together like a puzzle. More so this year than any other. I think that is why the lesson is so clear to me.

My piece was coach and cheerleader for my team leaders. (And trying to keep the inventory system untangled.) So I better get back to both!
