There are so many "good" things we could be doing, but too many and they start becoming less "good."

At some point I hope that I will just stop... but honestly when we drop things (social committee) then we just pick up new things to take its place. After this happening so many times I have come to realize that I like to be this busy. I like to gripe, but honestly, I like to feel needed... IT IS CRAZY! I should probably seek professional help for it... have a great day!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895320721575969118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472365141689299557.post-81159647911083098532008-04-23T08:06:00.000-05:002008-04-23T08:06:00.000-05:00Dear Angela,A few years ago I started feeling like...Dear Angela,<BR/>A few years ago I started feeling like this. Some very dear older women in the community asked me to be on the National Day of Prayer committe for our area. They told me the meetings would only be once a week and would last only one hour (they planned starting in September and brought in National Speakers). I know they meant well; but the meetings were 3 hours long as all of the women shared ideas, we prayed and then went to lunch. My heart continually tugged me towards home and our homeschool. Then it turned into a birthday club and we'd go out to lunch for each other's birthdays. The fellowship was sweet; but I was just tooooooo busy. Freedom came for me when I said, "No, I am not able to serve on the committee this year." I know there will be time for committees, and morning Bible Studies. But for <B>me</B>, right now, in this season of homeschooling high schoolers I need to be home.<BR/> Like you, I forget a lot of things. I need to eat more spinach, I guess. : )<BR/>Happy Day!<BR/>JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
