Work Week

I've been dreading this work week. No matter what I try to do or tell myself, I still feel the looming apprehension and unease. My week is just packed full of meetings. Considering all the meetings we've been having the past couple of months, I have doubt that these will be any more productive than the others. These will just be more time-consuming in a shorter period of time. I think that what I am dreading, is that with so many meetings, there may be a greater expectation of results; and I do not want to be involved in the disappointment when that does not happen. I'm also managing projects that these meetings are related to; and I feel a responsibility for a positive outcome; yet, because it is so big and involves so many people, I am not able to have control over the outcome. Nobody wants to "fail"; and I feel like that's what this work week is leaning towards - failure. And not being able to do much about it is the worst part. Maybe I should be more optimistic, cling to the hope that there is the possibility that this week will turn out better than the past couple of months; that maybe the right people will be able to make decisions this week and that we can have a well-defined scope and direction. All I can say is that I'm glad God is in control. I will do my best, but, in these projects, I am truly limited. May He cause it all to work out.
