A new week

Phew... it has been a majorly busy past week (I slept an average of 3.5 hours per night) - and an even more hectic weekend. Work, work preparations, assignments (the bulk of my time was spent on this), ministry, ministry preparations, etc. I don't think I am managing my time well enough ~ I'm in a dire need to change how I do my work too (every perfectionist's struggle, I'm afraid)... and so, I will need to turn to God. Doing the second half of my MDIV part-time as a married woman while working/doing ministry is really tough, I have to admit. However, I know that it is in accordance to God's plan and timing. I will really have to learn how to wear all these different hats simultaneously, before the kids come into the picture. Like I mentioned before, I have stopped putting a "deadline" on my studies. I've stopped asking God when everything (and I mean my studies) is going to come to an end, because I've done it for far too long and I'm growing tired of myself. I'm slowly learning that if I take everything one step at a time and depend on God's strength, I would arrive, by His grace, at all the right goals (whatever they are) one by one - even whilst I'm busy bringing up the kids. I will be the superwife and supermom ~ not because I can do it on my own, but because God has prepared me and will continue to lead me on. Also, He has given me a super-husband. What more could I ask for? :P

Anyway, regarding the weekend... I could really taste God's grace and lovingkindness every step of the way. There were random little joys, contemplating on which afforded much rest, comfort, encouragement and strength.
