we have established that we may be going through (in short order) a major life change. i am wondering, now, how much more i should put on my plate in light of something may transpire by perhaps early november?

i facilitate with RCIA which begins in september, and also am involved in my diocesan's bible study -- again, starting up again in september. the study is intensive, but so good to be in the Word in depth. RCIA is a wonderful process and one that i enjoy immensely, however, being a facilitator means i have to have my *game face* on. i don't know where i put it, frankly.

here's my dilemma, i'll make is short & simple: is it all too much? what should give, if anything? i am thinking of calling Deacon on monday to tell him not to expect me until january because of personal issues and sending my professor an email relating to him the same regarding my bibical institute participation. it seems the right thing to do....

however.

there are times, i believe, that the devil likes to have you think you can't handle it because these types of spiritual activities would only serve to strengthen you and bring you closer to God. then again, there are times when if you don't give it at least 100% you come up short, regardless.

i am seeking spiritual advice right now, sorry to be so needy, but it is what it is.

i am frail, i am m2.
