My List of Demands, Written On the Palm of My Hand...Needing More Hand.

I could use some help with my list of goals.  Reminders are good.
  • Put a roadtrip tour together, for speaking and singing gigs, from here to New York, and back again; one giant loop.
  • Get the music video done for my song, Time, and post it on YouTube.
  • Get the copy of BMI's songwriter contract in my hands so that I can fill it out and send it in for acceptance.
  • Find easier ways to manage my accounts with Facebook, Blogspot, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, LinkedIn, and SoundCloud, so they don't consume my day.
  • Allow the high schooler I currently help pick up from school to naturally volunteer around the church, instead of thinking I have to give him a list of demands. He can be a great asset to the youth ministry, but not until I can get myself to see him as more than a duplicate of me.
  • The same goes for the rest of my Volunteer Leadership Teams; I need to get my mind away from thinking I have to give them step by step instructions, and let them loose to be able to lead in what they have to offer.
  • Start offering to teach Ukulele.
  • Get dates and ticket information for The Wizard of Oz musical at O'Fallon's High School, Les Miserables musical at Belleville East High School, and find out what this year's musical is at Belleville West High School.
  • Design a Prayer Journal/Diary for the teens to have available for Quiet Time with God on Sunday Nights.
  • Get resources together for the BREAKOUT car wash on March 31
  • Organize A Passion of the Christ Movie Event for Sunday night, March 25, a Youth Pastor Retreat for the Fall, and a 30 Hour Famine for late July.
  • Make sure the teens are practicing and ready for District Celebrate Life on March 23 and 24.
  • Give the teens enough opportunity to raise funds so they can afford to participate in major events, including camp this summer if they so choose.
  • Notify the churches in the section of the district I am responsible for of upcoming youth events, and encourage them to participate.
  • Get a team together to take the pressure off of me feeling like I have to do all of the above by myself.
  • Get the oil and filter changed in my car.
  • Keep up to date with my cell phone and car payments.
  • Meet up with at least one different person every day, either for a quick drink, a bite to eat, some kind of extra curricular thing, or just to sit and chat.
  • Find a way to spend time with the parents of the teens that come to BREAKOUT; they are very important to the ministry.
I have a lot on my plate.  That's what I get for having a passion for being involved! ...Eh, that's not that long of a list...right?
