Distracted – Focused – On the Refugee Highway

Have you gone through a time where you find yourself distracted by challenges you are facing and then you move from distraction to focus mode, putting energy into trying to solve the challenges. This seems to be characteristic of my life over the past several weeks..toggling between distraction and focus. In the meantime, other things are pushed aside…like this blog.

During this period of time, I was able to participate in the Europe Refugee Highway Partnership Roundtable in Sarajevo. Doug Marshall (IAFR Malta) and I received very positive feedback on our presentation of Best Practices for Refugee Ministry.

I am working the first part of next week from the IAFR Minneapolis office. I look forward to working with our team there and catching up with some friends as well. A big focus will be on planning and processes.

The final big news….Spring is showing itself in Peoria…for which I am grateful!
