"Why Do I Have To Wear So Many Hats?"

I came across my Heart in Motion by Amy Grant CD recently and the "Hats" song is playing over and over again in my head. I believe I am totally overwhelmed. Currently my "hats" include:

• English teacher at NHA
• Supporter of Mu Kappa events at Taylor University
• UCBC Women's Sunday School Teacher
• DELIGHT Leadership Team Secretary
• Housemate

I shouldn't be overwhelmed--at least that is what my brain is telling me but my spirit says I am. None of these commitments will change because they reflect my priorities to serving God. I do so in everything I'm doing. My entire life is a ministry right now. I believe I am finally feeling overwhelmed because I am being assigned (without any consultation) the task of being "Homeroom teacher at NHA."

That is one too many responsibilities. I can do it but I question whether I can do it to the best of my abilities given that I am also going to be teaching four English classes (one more prep than last year). I have never taught this new class either so the learning curve will be horrible.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I think I just have to let out a huge silent scream into the cosmos and I will be able to handle an added responsibility.

I have to bear in mind that "with Christ's help I can do all things." Christ, with your help, I can do all things.
