I look at my calendar. Every hour there is a meeting of some sort. Goodness! First a meeting with the BOCES job coach to meet a potential new volunteer. Then meet with a committee to look at designing a salary benchmarking study. Then with the Library Director to chat about initiatives in Public Services. Then with the members of the nontraditional education committee. Then with other Library Faculty to discuss the candidates for our open position, then . . .
I am always amazed when I get one of these days when every responsibility seems to collide. I am surprised there isn't more from on beyond the library world (other than choir practice in the evening and a brief visit to the dentist).
It is a day requiring copious amounts of grace and God given strength and clarity of thought. If I am to be a contributing and productive member of these groups, I will need far more than my own simple abilities in play. Thank goodness for the morning verse - Psalm 28:7
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him."
It is true that I do not dread such days because I know God will show me what I need to understand and keep me from putting my foot in my mouth. Nice to know I have help with my public interface. Now I just need to keep that last part in mind and make sure to allow my joy proper expression of thanksgiving.
