Since September 2009, I've been responsible for two IT application development sections at work. This has been a significant management challenge. The amount, complexity and political nature of the work is unprecedented in my experience. I'm quite exhausted at the end of every day.
Robin & I continue to lead a small group teaching Growing Kids God's Way, which has been very rewarding....but at 17 weeks long is beginning to take it's own toll. We continue to mentor a couple whose marriage is struggling, and Robin and I both mentor several people (one woman for her, two young men for me). We will be finishing one session of GKGW in March, then immediately picking up with our Chapter Summary bible study that we haven't done now for almost a year.
In the past 7 days, both Dan Winther and my mom ended up in the hospital. Dan with intestines wrapped around scar tissue causing a blockage. This required surgery, and he is now recovering at home. Robin is there helping out. My mom had a small stroke and is still in the hospital. She's in for about 10 days of physical, occupational & speech therapy. It's been great to see my brothers & sisters in law rally together to help out.
Limitation. It surrounds me. I'm aware of it every day. I'm beginning to learn to embrace it.
This morning the Lord gave me Psalm 27:1-- "The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?"
