I was so stressed out this morning thinking about all that I have to accomplish before March 10th -- not just for myself, but for three different groups of people who are looking to me for leadership in one form or another -- that I was close to tears as I was driving to work.
Things are looking better this evening. I had a busy day, which meant I was active and had variety, which helped my mental state a lot.
When I got home, I found my first Christology paper in the SASE in my mailbox. I received a 95/100 -- which is great, and a relief -- although why I should still worry at all about my academic work is an issue I need to look at more closely. In two weeks.
Then there's my ex-husband. I don't want him as a husband, but I would have a hard time finding a better person to have as a co-parent. He's stepping up to added parental responsibilities during this crunch time without a murmur of complaint or resentment. In fact, he's encouraging me to take all the time I need to to accomplish what I must -- especially in the area of my leadership at church. I bought him some microbrew and a big bottle of Guinness when I did my errands on the way home from work tonight, by way of thank you.
Now, I really must buckle down to work on my 5-7 page paper on the Christology of liberation theologian Jon Sobrino. His work is extremely challenging, and makes a great deal of sense to me on the level of both head and heart.
Love to all!
