All lives have seasons. This for me is a season of discipline. I must be disciplined to manage my responsibilities or I will succumb to faulty time management. Sitting at the computer to write DB postings, blogs, papers etc...puts you in the vulnerable position of searching the Internet. I keep multiple windows open at a time, pandora for music, blackboard of course, TWU email, and Facebook! Although I have to say I am sort of over FB, I still check it a couple times a day. Yesterday, I ended up on Ebay looking for some computer software which led to looking for a computer...which led to me saying, "What are you doing?".
For the most part I am disciplined with my time, out of necessity. One of my coworkers asked how school was going, what was I taking etc...when I told her she said, "what are you trying to do kill yourself?" Absolutely not! Honestly, the only way I am surviving this season is by relying on others. My husband, daughters and most importantly my Savior - Jesus. He is the God of my days, the God of my nights, the Divine of my discipline and the Peace in my peril. In my weakness He is made strong. By his Holy Spirit, I will be led back to my task from Ebay or FB, and given clarity to see it through until the end.

You are a strong, inspiring spirit and I am very glad to have gotten to know you through these classes together a bit. The color coding and planner idea has helped. I have written everything in it for the rest of the semester. I used one last semester and kept up much better. I don't know why I didn't start that way this term?. I'm learning. And you are absolutely right that this all takes the support of our loved ones and the grace of God.
