I Cannot Be All and Do All (only Jesus can)

My life is not perfect. I have a lot on my plate for such a "little" person. I counted one time and I think there were 10 things I had a role in. Maybe I've stated that on my blog before but it still astounds me how I have trouble saying 'no'. They are all good things: HS LifeGroup leader, Bible Bowl helper, clinician, GA, student, friend, family member, MS volunteer, research and prep for Zambia. Whew!
In doing and saying all of this, I hate to disappoint people. I feel that if I like/love doing it, am good at it and someone "expects" me to do it then I should. Well today I found out that my busyness has carried over into tardiness for therapy hours. Not good. Not only is it unprofessional but it might cause me one less letter of reccomendation. It is something that is easily fixed, but will still be difficult to attain. This is a perfect example of my need for the One who can do all and be all. He is my answer and the one that I will answer to someday. Our department is making a shirt for convention and it has a verse on it that reminds us who we truly work for. The Lord is the One who will recieve all glory; not ourselves or anyone else, God alone!
That makes my heart glad :) I can rejoice and not let worry control me.
EVERYTHING works together for THE GOOD.
