A ballooning of to-do's ~ and I am still swamped with work at this time of the night.
I am partially to blame for this. Too slow (writer's block), too much perfectionism (I'm trying to be less of a perfectionist, but unfortunately, it's a big, fat FAIL all the way), and too much dilly-dallying because I was not in the mood.
Anyway, the preaching schedule for this year's graduands was sent out to us today, and I discovered that Alex and I are up first! Argh. The topic that we are to preach on is really tricky too. I need God. Apart from Him, I can do nothing. And so, I covet your prayers.
The busy weekend is here and I am not ready for it.
I'd like to end with gratitude though. Some things I am thankful for today?
1. The joy I got from straightening out the first-aid box up in the MBTS office. While it took me nearly an hour to check, discard stuff, replace stuff and record the contents of the box, the time I spent on the first-aid box was worth it. Now that the bandages and thingamabobs are no longer topsy-turvy, I could finally empower somebody to use it in case of emergency. Guess who I empowered?
2. The great relief of having prescribed somebody the correct medicines for her ailments. Her "I am much better now" did wonders for my heart. In actual fact, I don't like how my heart is so burdened to care when anyone moans and groans to me in agony (even about things like coughs and colds) ~ because I am afraid that I'll say and prescribe the wrong things. Caring drains me emotionally too. And yet, I cannot bear not caring or doing something to make him/her feel better.
3. Ben surprised me with a new MP3 player ~ so that I can go running again. :)
4. The gift of laughter availed to me through the hilarious and weird text messages that people send me throughout the day. We must certainly laugh some every day. It keeps us young!
God, thank You.
