Planning for the new year
Planning for the new year
The year is going to come to a close real soon. How time flies! 2006 - in the twinkle of the eye, it will be gone!
Time to begin making plans for ministry for next year - but looking at the amount of things I'm pushing to the beginning of the year to clear before I .... (the time is not right to reveal the "it" here, except for some who already knew =), plus field ed attachment, I'm seriously panicking about coping with 3 subjects in theological college next year.
Sigh* sometimes past achievements and/or failures can also be "stumbling blocks". I'm pushing myself very hard where ministry and studies are concerned partly also because I don't want to let anybody or even myself down. I've proven myself some years ago when I did the part-time night class amidst working and heavy church ministry - and this past "glory" has kind of been a push factor that "I can do it" if I want to, and that I shouldn't give myself any chance of regrets ... But then, it was in the past, do I still have the stamina anymore?
This holiday's going to be spent in real solid preparation work and planning, and perhaps advance reading of whatever I can for next term's subject??
Prov 16:3 says "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." I guess at the end of the day it's not what you plan or don't, but if you've involved God in the entire planning. I would want God's blessings, His involvement and leading in whatever I undertake to do.
