What Next?

I titled this blog "What Next" because I have found myself once again in the unenviable position of trying to figure out which voice is yelling the loudest at me - because - let's be truthful - that's the one you do next!

When I'm teaching at Indiana Wesleyan University I teach a course to prepare new, non-traditional students, how to be successful in their college experience. One of the exercises is time management. Many of them are single parents or young parents - but it doesn't really matter what your circumstance - because we have all filled our lives so full of things to do that when something really important comes along we may not have time for it!

So in the few minutes I have after this blog and before my next meeting, I am going to sit down and begin the process of clearing some things from my to do list and declare a moratorium on adding anything other than emergencies.

A couple things I am excited to do in the next few days is to sit down and listen to The Ministry Seminar that is my homework for next week's tele-coaching time and continue my reading of "Simply Strategic Volunteers - Empowering People for Ministry". Maybe some of the stuff that truly is important could be handled by someone else - what a novel thought!

Pray for me - I'd pray more for you but I'm too busy doing stuff! (Kidding I pray for you!)

Til next time - if I can find the time - I remain in His Grip!
