It is the most wonderful time of the year; the children have gone back to school and life once again has a schedule. My schedule includes more homework than all three kids put together. In the past 2 days alone I have read 650 pages and am waiting for the books that are currently in the mail. My class, mid-October has 2500 pages of reading with written reflective notes on each book, plus preliminary note-taking on 15 biblical texts; the other class the week after requires an intial draft of my thesis-project proposal.
Now when I first saw all this I was flipped into a momentary panic.
GRACE was found in the drawing out of a homework sheet, complete with coloured post-it notes.
Grace was found in the taking of one step at a time: going to the library, ordering other books, sitting down and reading (one page at a time-taking notes, adding personal reflection and thoughts).
Grace is in the ability to focus and now I see it is doable. Thanks be to God.
