Chasing Time

The weekend (as well as my Friday) was all about chasing time.

Since I went to Baguio for most of the week, I had a lot of paperwork to catch up with when I got back. Not to mention the fatigue factor.

The weekend did not prove to be any better. Instead of catching up on rest, I was catching time as a small emergency had me catching up to my chamber session in the morning. Then, a children's party in the afternoon had me catching up for choir... which bombed, by the way.

Today was more of the same. An unannounced attendance in a wake likewise had me chasing time to show up on time for today's mass.

And because of all of these, I have to catch up on more paperwork for this morning. I think I have to start early, as in early morning.

I hope I can get some rest... as the week ahead is another crucial one. But then again, I'm beginning to believe every week is a crucial one.

Have a great week ahead.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
