I appreciate those who have accompanied me in prayer for Venezuela over the past few days. It has brought back memories of my years living there and the return visits I have made since then. Venezuela was the first place I visited outside of the United States in 1996, and will always hold a special place in my heart. I lived there full-time as a missionary from 2003-2007, working to establish a new congregation in the eastern part of the capital city, Caracas.

This picture is of the team of us that worked together with the congregation that started meeting in my apartment with 12 people. The East Caracas congregation celebrated their 11th anniversary earlier this month and there are now over 100 meeting regularly on Sundays and many weekly Bible study groups in homes.

There are days when my to-do list is more than daunting. I feel overwhelmed and while I sit at my desk ready to attack the list, I reply to a message on Facebook or clear a notification and get sucked into the Facebook vortex. Next thing I know, a chunk of time has passed and I have mindlessly scrolled through my news feed unaware of what I have even looked at. The next step is what I call Facebook Fatigue. Your mind is numb and you have forgotten about the productive intent with which you first sat down to work.
My encouragement on this Wake-up Wednesday is that we wake up, snap out of it, and get off Facebook for a time (after you be sure to like our page: Iron Rose Sister Ministries and tell a friend to do the same!)
