Very interesting day today. There are some family issues that need attention tomorrow on multiple fronts. In the meantime I’ve got multiple plates full of work that I’ve got to get done for my job. These sorts of times make me long to go back to school where my time was much more flexible.
The past year and a half of work have been fairly stressful as I’ve had two back-to-back projects that have had some pretty tight deadlines with many moving parts. What I’m beginning to realize is that perhaps God actually wants me to have a lot on my plate. I’d rather not, but maybe this is a way that God is testing me, to see whose strength I will lean on. As I prepare to go to bed, I don’t know how I will get the things done that I need to get done. But I still have a job. And thus far God has enabled me to get the key things done. Yet it’s still difficult for me to trust that he will do it again. Because this time it really is too much for me to handle. And maybe that’s the point. It is too much for me to handle. That’s why I need to lean on God. And so, I will aim to go to bed at a normal time, wake up early, and maximize the time I have tomorrow morning to finish what I need to finish for work, as the bulk of the afternoon will need to be used to address some family issues.
