ACIM and work

This was part of my work related blog, now I'm keeping it a separate, parallel story.
After a miserable, resistant Christmas, a real low point, I think I finally surrendered. Accepted that Life is Big. That I don't have all the answers, that my ego has been really messing things up. And there is nothing special about that, that's what the world is all about.  But it is not Reality. Reality is Love. At any moment I am choosing....ego, or Reality.  When I choose ego, I'm miserable. When I choose Reality, I am at peace. It's simple. Not easy, but simple.
So this blog needs to begin to reflect that and speak of the deeper Reality in my life, including in social work.
I feel a bit exposed, since this is so personal. But it must be so, or I am not true to myself.
How is it different? Well, it means handing over the day, the tasks, the clients, as best I can, to a Higher Power. Yesterday I did that in the morning. If God is in charge, then I have slightly less of a burden to carry. I just show up and let the Spirit prepare the way and guide my actions. Does it make a difference? That's what I want to know.
