Just a month and a week out from outreach- crazy. My students are feeling the weight of the course as they recieve one assignment after another and to them the distance to December looks like a million miles. From my vantage point, however, the distance looks more like a busy Saturday of errands. As if there is very little actual distance to cover, but about a hundred stops to make or hoops to jump through- and traffic, to boot. Basically, its coming up fast. And though our outlooks differ, ultimately we all use the same adjective: crazy. The next couple weekends have plans-a base outing, a thanksgiving break... then there is basely two more weekends till out trip departure. Like i said: crazy. Its hard to believe I will be able to make all the plans, budgets, etc for both the course and the outreach... while still serving daily/being present with my class. I need continued grace!
I do need grace to diligently do all that has been entrusted to me. And I am confident i will recieve all that I need; this i know: the One who calls also empowers and carries us.
