A cool Tuesday greeted me this morning - I sometimes consider Tuesdays to be the first "Real" day of the week. It is as if your weekend was a plane ride across many time zones and then Monday was your catch-up day. Not necessarily on sleep, but not such a serious day. It is more like the day that you have to get over your jet-lag from the weekend and then Tuesday starts. And this Tuesday morning was cold. Serious and cold. Where are my socks??
I spent Friday and Saturday in Kampala - resting and getting ready for the month ahead. The holiday from School has started and the holiday that has shown a "facade" of rest is going to be a busy holiday packed with events and excitement. So, I was getting a bit of rest before I crash after the month of May. Just trying to make sure I'm in check before I have to play catch-up.
While away, I was mulling over the thought of the Development of this new role and program. So far it has morphed into something much better than I could have imagined it to be. And as I have been digesting the development of it all, it has come with lots of difficulties, joys, challenges, and unexpected happiness. But I have been enjoying it. At times I've had to put reigns on the "rushing bulls in china shops"and just walk through the process quietly. Peacefully. Submissively. And yes, there are times when I just wish it would be all set in stone and ready to go. Chop chop. All done. But am I really enjoying the Process? The development. Am I being thankful for the times in that process that make me call on Him even more? As I certainly can't do this myself.
Then I got to thinking (thinking - for those of you who know the movie Enchanted, say it in the Prince Edward way). As I am on this journey of my life with Him, I know He is changing me. Molding me. Developing me. In this process with Him, am I enjoying and being thankful for the challenges, joys, failures etc.? Yes, the development is hard at times and at times I wish I was "done" but I will appear with Him in Glory someday. But until that day comes, I am still on this journey, this process filled with Grace each step of the way.
Enjoy your Tuesday filled with Grace.
