What I have been doing?

If you just happen to be wondering what I have been doing these past few weeks, here is the cliff notes' version of my life:

Teaching four courses between two different universities, writing chapter 1 of my dissertation, due to my leadership skills and excellent job performance, I was "selected" to participate on the student success initiative project at work, I am classified as a Subject Matter Expert at another school which requires me to re-write courses as required, it just so happens that four courses need re-writing, my kids are going on Spring break next week, NyCee's birthday is March 20, had my braces removed, losing 10 pounds, paying off debts, and somewhere in there I still manage to find time to take myself on a date every Saturday to get a break from all my responsibilities.

WHEW! How do I do it? God's grace covers me. When I learned that I had been "selected" for the Student Success committee, I literally busted out laughing. I did not ask to be on said committee. I did not apply to be on said committee. I have one better - I did not know anything about said committee. I laughed and said, "Yes, Jesus. I will serve on this committee and do it with excellence because I have room for one more green bean on my already full plate. " HA! Let us add to the joy of being on this committee, I am assigned to oversee a course that I have never taught and of which I have no knowledge. AGAIN - HA!

God gives me the grace to carry out any assigned task. That is why I spend the first hour of my morning in prayer and bible study to get the plan for the day. Every day, I complete every required task for that day. It seems overwhelming. But it's not. I have learned to stay in my lane of grace and depend totally on God's direction. Life is so much easier that way.
