I promise I’m still here…
I’ve been super busy with church, school, wedding, leading worship at few places around little rock, etc. hopefully things will slow down soon..
I remember a time, back in college, when I use to brag about how busy I was…whether it was the amount of papers I had to do…the amount of retreats I was leading…the late nights…early mornings…no time to sleep…no time to eat…(well maybe not that one)…i was just stressed!
but i boasted about it…it was like i wanted to be busy…so that others would think i was busy…(doesn’t make since i know)
halfway through my senior year of college, my life had become so busy that i noticed it was taking a toll on my relationships with people…the joy i once felt from building relationships and doing ministry was gone…so i tried out a new word…it was something I had learned at a really young age but somehow forgot about it…instead of always saying “yes”…i said “no”
the amount of freedom and the release of stress that came when I first told someone “no” was indescribable…so from then on I made a conscience effort to try to balance my life…
“start small…go deep”
don’t do everything…you can’t…focus on a few things…do them well…
(i say all these things as I just talked about how busy i’ve been lately…)
what do you do to keep from overworking?
how do you balance your life?
do you have a problem with saying “no”?
